Aside from screwing Linux users, they're also screwing AMD users with forced ray-tracing + broken FSR, and I'd imagine there's also a lot of overlap there.

Even amd users are suffering like Linux users Microsoft got no chill 💀

I have FSR working (Win10+ AMD 7900XTX), but it's obvious that they have screwed the pooch in optimization.

I just finished Doom: Eternal yesterday before the Dark Ages came out and it ran fully maxed out at 1440p @ 240 FPS without upscaling and was gorgeous.

Dark Ages looks pretty much the same as Eternal, but runs at 120-144 FPS.

That's still absolutely playable but how did it lose 50% performance in an IDTech game?

How did you get it working? I'm getting like 40 FPS over here.

You have to enable HDR in the Windows 10 settings, do Win+I, type "HD Color", and then set your AMD display drivers to "Color Correction" in Display to adjust for the bad Win10 HDR implementation.

My recommendation is:

Temperature: 10000

Brightness: -10

Hue: 0 (default)

Contrast: 120

Saturation: 165

Then enable HDR in Dark Ages, followed by FSR and Frame Gen, if you want.

HDR is the key.

Oh I don't have Windows. But I'll look into the HDR stuff, I usually leave it off.

One game has Denuvo, the other doesn’t.

Oh holy shit.

I think you're actually right, it's probably Denuvo tanking performance
