Doom: The Dark Ages is surprisingly playable on the Steam Deck

SMRTR summary

Doom: The Dark Ages, previously unplayable on Steam Deck, now runs surprisingly well after a SteamOS update. Despite high system requirements, it achieves 30-40 fps with low graphics and FSR upscaling. While not ideal for a fast-paced shooter, this performance is impressive for the Steam Deck's hardware, demonstrating the potential for demanding games on portable devices with graphical compromises.
