Best Doom: The Dark Ages settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Doom: The Dark Ages runs at roughly 66 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 67FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4060 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB 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 66 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 66 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 49 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Doom: The Dark Ages at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
