The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.

It makes no difference which processor you have: with the RX Vega 56 in Doom: The Dark Ages the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.

FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling

Upscaling renders Doom: The Dark Ages at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RX Vega 56 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	23	29	33
1440p	15	20	25
4K	6	9	11

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX Vega 56 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.

Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.

Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?

These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.

Here the graphics card is the brake: the RX Vega 56 is what caps the frame rate in Doom: The Dark Ages. A faster processor would hardly change the result.

The CheckFPS verdict

Analysis based on real in-game FPS, not spec sheets

Is the RX Vega 56 Enough for Doom: The Dark Ages?

The RX Vega 56 delivers 23 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Doom: The Dark Ages. This GPU is not enough for Doom: The Dark Ages at this resolution. We recommend a more powerful GPU.

At 1440p it gets 15 FPS and at 4K 6 FPS at Ultra quality.

Frequently asked questions about Doom: The Dark Ages on the RX Vega 56

How many FPS does the RX Vega 56 get in Doom: The Dark Ages at 1080p?

The RX Vega 56 averages 23 FPS in Doom: The Dark Ages at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 30 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 51 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX Vega 56 manages around 15 FPS at 1440p and around 6 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX Vega 56 run Doom: The Dark Ages at 60 FPS?

Not on Ultra — it averages below 60 FPS at every resolution. Dropping to Low at 1080p gets the RX Vega 56 to about 51 FPS in Doom: The Dark Ages, and AI upscaling helps close the gap to 60.

Do these Doom: The Dark Ages figures include upscaling or ray tracing?

No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The RX Vega 56 has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.

How many FPS do I gain by turning on FSR in Doom: The Dark Ages?

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX Vega 56 from around 6 native FPS to an estimated 9 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX Vega 56?

The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the RX Vega 56 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
