✅ Yes

~73 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 2060 is a mainstream 1080p card with 6GB of VRAM, and Doom: The Dark Ages is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 73 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 55 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	55	73
1440p	33	60
4K	19	40

💡 Doom: The Dark Ages: id Tech 8 - extremely well-optimised; even mid-range GPUs run it well.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 73 FPS, at 1440p about 60 FPS, and at 4K roughly 40 FPS with optimized settings. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
