DOOM: The Dark Ages apparently REQUIRES raytracing to be turned on in some form at all times which results in a massive loss in performance, notably on lower end cards. The game barely looks better than 2016. I fucking hate the raytracing antichrist.
@beardalaxy I used to think back in the days of Titan XP and GTX 1080ti that in the future all games that we're playing will always be 60FPS and in 4K even with a mid tier card. Oh how wrong I was.
@MK2boogaloo i had a 1060 6gb that i was playing doom 2016 on at high settings, 4k60fps. it was fucking awesome. they optimized the hell out of that engine, pun intended. so to see it just get bogged down by forced ray tracing is really shitty.
@beardalaxy @MK2boogaloo Technically not the same engine, doom 2016 was idtech6 while dark ages is, iirc, idtech8.
