The Dark Ages system requirements? With perhaps the most famous and revered PC gaming classic returning five years after the superb Doom Eternal, fans of the series might be concerned to learn that Doom: The Dark Ages comes with some surprisingly tough system requirements.

We're fast approaching five years since the launch of Doom Eternal, and while Doom: The Dark Ages is shaping up to be a more stripped-back attempt at the Doom formula with its medieval aesthetic, the Doom: The Dark Ages system requirements feel straight out of the future.

Outside of the VRAM requirements, Doom: The Dark Ages also requires a GPU with ray tracing hardware. The game will support path tracing, as well as DLSS 4, according to Nvidia’s Jacob Freeman.
