DOOM: The Dark Ages 🎮⚡ Painful Performance \ RTX 4080
1If you’re using an RTX 4080 and feeling disappointed by DOOM: The Dark Ages’ performance, you’re not alone. Despite the card’s power, the game’s demanding ray tracing and ultra settings push the RTX 4080 hard, resulting in frame rates that are solid but not spectacular, especially at 4K resolution. #DOOMDarkAges #RTX4080 #RayTracing
Benchmarks show the RTX 4080 averaging around 40-45 FPS at 4K Ultra Nightmare settings with ray tracing enabled, which is playable but below what many expect from this high-end GPU. At 1440p, performance improves to roughly 70-75 FPS, still somewhat modest for the card’s capabilities. This is partly because DOOM: The Dark Ages enforces ray tracing with no option to disable it, making it a very demanding title even for top-tier hardware. #GamingPerformance #4KGaming
Compared to other GPUs, the RTX 4080 performs close to the RTX 4080 Super and RTX 5070 Ti, but lags behind the RTX 4090, which can push near 60 FPS at 4K. Some AMD cards like the Radeon RX 9070 XT surprisingly outperform the RTX 4080 in certain scenarios, especially at 1080p and 1440p with TAA enabled. #GPUComparison #PCGaming
DLSS 4 and Frame Generation technologies can dramatically boost frame rates, sometimes doubling or tripling FPS at 4K, making gameplay smoother on the RTX 4080. However, without these features, the raw performance can feel underwhelming for the price and expectations of the card. #DLSS4 #FrameGeneration
Overall, DOOM: The Dark Ages is visually stunning and smooth enough to enjoy, but it’s a reminder that cutting-edge ray tracing and global illumination come at a steep performance cost-even for powerful GPUs like the RTX 4080. If you want buttery smooth 4K gameplay, consider using DLSS 4 Frame Generation or lowering some settings. #NextGenGaming #RayTracingCost
