Doom: The Dark Ages: Raytracing is required – these are the PC requirements!

The system requirements of Doom: The Dark Ages have it all, because on the PC raytracing is in principle required for the new shooter.

With the announcement of Doom's release date: The Dark Ages, Bethesda and ID software also made nails with heads when it comes to the system requirements of the new shooter on the PC – and they have it all! Reason: The first-person shooter runs exclusively with raytracing support on the home arithmetic, so that you need a corresponding graphics card.

According to Indiana Jones and the large circle, DOOM: The Dark Ages is the next Bethesda title, which can no longer be played with graphics cards in front of the raytracing age. In addition, the title also focuses on an SSD as a storage medium and also excludes classic HDD hard drives. All of this means translated: Under an AMD Radeon RX 6000 or Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 as a graphics card, nothing works! In addition, 16 GB RAM and 100 GB of storage space are necessary.
