The debut of Doom: The Dark Ages is just around the corner, and Bethesda is making it even more exciting with the unveiling of path tracing technology, which will improve reflections, shadows, and global illumination. Bethesda has announced that path tracing will be accessible for GeForce RTX graphics cards within a short timeframe after launch, as evidenced by the stark contrast in the side-by-side screenshots.
After being thoroughly played and assessed, the game has garnered an abundance of favorable feedback, mainly praising its spectacular visuals, expansive terrains and architectures, and innovative tactical combat system. To further enhance the ominous atmosphere that Doom: The Dark Ages conveys, ray tracing seems to be the final touch to make everything stand out even more.
New Lighting Upgrades Calls For Performance Upgrades

As stated by NVIDIA, only players who game on a Personal Computer will initially have the opportunity to enhance their Doom experience with an additional sheen of refinement. However, this feature will not be accessible upon the game’s initial release.
Following the initial release, an upgrade will incorporate PC-exclusive Path Tracing, significantly advancing ray-traced lighting on GeForce RTX GPUs. Additionally, it will feature DLSS Ray Reconstruction – a unified AI model that enhances image quality and speeds up performance by replacing conventional denoisers with a superior version.

Generating beautiful graphics with lifelike lighting can be quite challenging, and to truly immerse yourself in The Dark Ages, you’ll need robust hardware. To make this experience easier for you, NVIDIA is offering a premium edition of Doom: The Dark Ages as a bonus when you buy a GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU or laptop.
In their review of Doom: The Dark Ages, John Linneman from The Digital Foundry team expresses his eagerness to explore path tracing in confined spaces illuminated by torches, as opposed to the vast vistas shown in recent screenshots. His keen curiosity lies particularly in these specific environments.
Approximately two decades have passed since the initial release of Doom, and now Doom: The Dark Ages is carrying on its legacy with cutting-edge graphics and lighting technologies. Early demo reviews are indicating a very positive outlook.
In every detail, it seemed and felt amazing, according to Tristan Ogilvie, an IGN Reviews Team video producer.
In the upcoming dates, you’ll have the chance to play Doom: The Dark Ages on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S starting from May 15th. Further details regarding the Path Tracing specifications are yet to be unveiled at a later time.
