On a NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Doom: The Dark Ages runs at roughly 87 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 88FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Doom: The Dark Ages is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 87 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 87 FPS at 1080p and 70 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Doom: The Dark Ages, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 88 | 87 |
| 1440p | 53 | 70 |
| 4K | 30 | 61 |
