Find out whether your gaming PC is able to run Doom: The Dark Ages and if it hits the recommended specs for the upcoming demon stomper.

So now we’re being forced to have poorer performance and locked into buying more expensive hardware.

I’ll have to pass on this type of crap and vote with my wallet when ray tracing still isn’t there for the majority of pc gamers.

    Shit moves on. Did you expect your 1060 card from 2016 to last indefinitely? How long did you expect developers to support 2 different lighting systems?

    This as well as Indiana Jones are both 1st party games Microsoft which are also being released onto Xbox Series S. They are already supporting two different lighting systems because of that.

    It’s not unreasonable to for paying customers to expect Microsoft to just ship the same performance profiles on their PC games.

    What Microsoft is doing is not a technological move. It’s a desperate move to sell more Xboxes.

        I can’t comment too deeply on consoles.

        Then don’t.

        Google suggests that it supports ray tracing.

        Series S has raytracing support on paper (just as Steam Deck has) but the GPU is way too underpowered to actually use raytracing for anything.

        So my point stands.

        No, it doesn’t.

        Stop expecting your 10 year old hardware to run new games indefinitely

        Nobody said that. What can be expected is for Microsoft to ship the same performance profiles they enable for one of their platforms (Series S) on their other 1st party platform (Windows).
