Doom: The Dark Ages is a masterfully crafted PC release that manages to run well on low-end hardware, while avoiding the typical issues we associate with game engines possessing high-end rendering features. The launch version manages to achieve a high level of fidelity even without the path tracing feature that’s set to arrive later, and perhaps unsurprisingly the game can be relatively heavy when simply pushed to its maximum settings on low to mid-range hardware. Therefore, optimised settings are worth exploring to strike a better balance between graphical niceties and a responsive HFR experience.
