Summary:
"Doom: The Dark Ages" has demanding system requirements, necessitating at least a ray tracing-capable GPU and a modern eight-core CPU, even for minimum settings. The game specifies 16GB of RAM and a 100GB SSD for all performance levels, with recommended setups requiring high-end GPUs like the RTX 3080 for 1440p and the RTX 4080 for 4K at ultra settings. As ray tracing becomes a baseline requirement, these specs reflect a shift in PC gaming hardware expectations.
Discussion Prompt:
With the increasing necessity for powerful hardware in modern games, do you think the gaming community will adapt quickly enough, or could we see a fragmentation where a significant number of players are left behind?
