Can I Run DOOM VFR?
id Software released DOOM VFR in 2017. It is an action game, published by Bethesda Softworks. It offers a single player campaign. Steam lists support for 10 languages. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. Its 9 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Completionists have 15 achievements to work through. Metacritic places it at 69. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Its Steam review count passes 2 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a horror setting, moving through combat arenas. The view is from a first person view. The publisher supplies 8 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why DOOM VFR is demanding
DOOM VFR sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 / AMD RX Vega 64, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so DOOM VFR at the floor and DOOM VFR at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Disk footprint is light, near 17 GB. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run DOOM VFR?
Older hardware holds up here: DOOM VFR runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon RX 480 or better enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.21x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.68x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.3x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
Common GPUs

| GTX 1060 6 GB | Runs well |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Playable |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Playable |
| GTX 1650 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 2060 Laptop | Runs well |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Runs great |

| RTX 3070 8 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 3070 Laptop | Runs great |
| RTX 4070 12 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 4070 Laptop | Runs great |
| RX 6600 8 GB | Runs great |
Each card is compared against DOOM VFR's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
