We are thoroughly excited for the next Doom game. The trailer looks amazing and they somehow outdid themselves with the aesthetics again. We are waiting for more info about the game but Bethesda did reveal the game’s system requirement. However, it seems like quite some people won’t be able to play Doom: The Dark Ages at all.

Doom: The Dark Ages – System Requirements
Even with the lowest settings, the game demands that your PC hardware be compatible with ray tracing. Bethesda will eventually disclose information about path-tracing specifications. For its specifications, Bethesda also included various GPU options, with the AMD RX 6660 and Nvidia RTX 2060 Super serving as the minimum. You need an RTX 3080 or RX 6800 for the suggested setting. You should have an RTX 4080 or RX 7900K for the ultra setting.
Although you may get by with just 16GB for the least, the system RAM is very substantial, requiring 32GB for recommended and high settings. If you can stomach a lower frame rate, you might be able to get away with using less expensive hardware, as all three sets of recommended specs require the game to operate at 60 frames per second.
