The Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB and 16 GB GPUs are some of the latest pixel pushers. These GPUs target premium 1080p and 1440p gaming experiences in the latest titles like Doom: The Dark Ages. However, the cards don't pack enough rendering prowess to handle the game at the highest settings. Some tweaks are needed, be it in upscaling or texture quality.
To help you quickly get started in the new Doom game, we have compiled this list of ideal graphics options for the two 60-class Blackwell GPUs. The settings are optimized for a 70-100 FPS experience based on your preferences.
Note: These settings work best for systems satisfying the minimum hardware for Doom: The Dark Ages (AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, Intel Core i7 10700K or better + 16 GB RAM).
Best Doom: The Dark Ages Settings for RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB
The Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB is designed for 1080p and 1440p gaming in the sub-$400 market. The limited VRAM means you'll have to be mindful about loading large textures into memory. We recommend a mix of High and Nightmare settings in the hack and slash game for a balanced experience with frame generation turned on. This gives you around 100 FPS without major stutters or FPS drops.

Best Doom: The Dark Ages Settings for RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB
Doom: The Dark Ages is a demanding game and comfortably draws over 10 GB of video memory even at 1440p. Thus, the 16 GB variant has a huge advantage when it comes to smoothness and framerates.
You can comfortably crank up to Ultra Nightmare settings with DLSS set to DLAA (improving image quality over native). On top of this, Frame Generation helps you make up for the lost FPS and get to 100.
