The Dark Ages is slowing things down compared to the twitchy gameplay of Eternal, meaning one area of gameplay needs to shine.

If you want to run this pulpy shooter on minimum settings, you need a ray-tracing-capable graphics card at the very minimum. This is the second game using id Tech 7 to do so in the last two months (though Indiana Jones and the Great Circle proved to be worth the upgrade).

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.
