Best Doom: The Dark Ages settings for the NVIDIA GTX 750 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 750 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Doom: The Dark Ages runs at roughly 22 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 10FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 750 is a entry-level graphics card with 1GB of VRAM, and Doom: The Dark Ages is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 22 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 10 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 22 FPS at 1080p and 13 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 7 FPS at 4K. With only 1GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Doom: The Dark Ages at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
