DOOM: The Dark Ages PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide

AMD FSR Testing

Sadly, DOOM: The Dark Ages doesn’t support AMD’s FSR 4 Upscaler at launch

As mentioned before, resolution scaling is the primary way that DOOM: The Dark Ages players can boost their framerates on PC. At launch, DOOM: The Dark Ages supports AMD’s FSR 3 upscaler. Quality-wise, it delivers similar results to the game’s standard TAA upscaling solution. For AMD users, XeSS can provide higher quality upscaling. As of now, DOOM: Eternal does not support FSR 4, though that may change in the future.

With FSR 3 set to Quality mode, DOOM Eternal moves from an average framerate of 42.5 to an average framerate of 69.4. That’s a 63.3% increase in average framerate. That’s a strong result for FSR 3, and a clear sign that this game’s performance scales with resolution.

Note that we ran into freezing issues when we played DOOM: The Dark Ages with FSR 3 Frame Generation. Because of this, we could not get any performance data. Hopefully this issue is fixed with a future game or GPU driver update.
