I played Doom the Dark Ages at over 500fps, proving Nvidia DLSS 4 was made for high-refresh rate monitors

DOOM: The Dark Ages is set to unleash hell on plenty of PC builds far and wide, and Nvidia DLSS 4 will be a saving grace. Sure, you might not need the tool to hit decent frame rates if you’re rocking a beefy graphics card like the GeForce RTX 5080, but it can make a massive difference depending on your personal performance preferences. For whatever reason, I decided while playing the ferocious FPS sequel that I wanted to see if I could satiate a 600Hz monitor with ridiculous frame rates and somehow managed to pull it off using Multi-frame generation.

Look, I’m not saying playing DOOM: The Dark Ages at 1080p to boost fps to stupid levels is something you should do. After all, there’s more to single-player shooters than just sheer speed, and Bethesda’s devilishly detailed world of Argent D'Nur is worth experiencing with settings cranked up full. That said, I’m a sucker for a silly specs challenge, and if life (BenQ) gives you 600Hz lemons (the Zowie XL2586X+), you can bet I’m going to make deliciously fast lemonade.
