About

Doom from 1993 is a legendary action shooter that defined an entire genre and remains influential today with its 85/100 rating. The game puts you on a Mars research facility overrun by demonic forces, tasking you with pure combat-focused gameplay as you blast through enemies with an arsenal of weapons. Its fast-paced, arcade-style action and pioneering 3D graphics made it a watershed moment in PC gaming history.

Running Doom is remarkably accessible by modern standards, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 4470 and a CPU score near 3185, plus 8 GB of RAM. Even modest integrated graphics can handle this classic comfortably, delivering excellent FPS performance across all graphics settings. Whether you're running vintage hardware or a cutting-edge gaming rig, you'll have no trouble hitting high framerates and smooth gameplay without optimization headaches.

If you're interested in action games or gaming history, Doom is an essential experience that holds up surprisingly well. Its blend of challenging combat and iconic level design makes it worth playing alongside modern benchmarks to see how far graphics and performance have evolved.

Performance profile

Released in December 1993, Doom predates modern GPU acceleration as we know it today. It runs effortlessly on virtually any current hardware, including integrated graphics and entry-level laptops — framerate is limited by the engine, not the GPU.

Action titles like Doom reward high framerates for visual clarity during combat. A mid-range modern GPU at 1440p 60–120 FPS is the practical sweet spot; VRR (G-Sync/FreeSync) smooths out drops during heavy effects.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Doom; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Storyline

The player takes the role of a marine (unnamed to further represent the person playing), "one of Earth's toughest, hardened in combat and trained for action", who has been incarcerated on Mars after assaulting a senior officer when ordered to fire upon civilians. There, he works alongside the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC), a multi-planetary conglomerate and military contractor performing secret experiments on interdimensional travel. Recently, the teleportation has shown signs of anomalies and instability, but the research continues nonetheless. Suddenly, something goes wrong and creatures from hell swarm out of the teleportation gates on Deimos and Phobos. A defensive response from base security fails to halt the invasion, and the bases are quickly overrun by monsters; all personnel are killed or turned into zombies A military detachment from Mars travels to Phobos to investigate the incident. The player is tasked with securing the perimeter, as the assault team and their heavy weapons are brought inside. Radio contact soon ceases and the player realizes that he is the only survivor. Being unable to pilot the shuttle off of Phobos by himself, the only way to escape is to go inside and fight through the complexes of the moon base.
