Recommended settings for Doom Eternal on the RTX 5060

Doom Eternal runs on id Tech 7; id Tech 7 is brutally well-optimised and rewards raw GPU clocks. Start from these and adjust to taste:

• Preset: Ultra as your base
• Upscaling: DLSS 4 on Quality at 4K — the single biggest free fps win
• Shadows / Volumetrics: one notch below max; they cost the most for the least visible gain
• Textures: keep at max while you have 8GB of VRAM headroom

Performance you can expect at 4K

With those settings the RTX 5060 delivers 75-95 fps at 4K, which is a locked, console-beating 60 fps and then some. If you fall short of your target, drop the upscaler to Balanced or trim shadows first — both buy frames with almost no visible cost.
