I have FSR working (Win10+ AMD 7900XTX), but it's obvious that they have screwed the pooch in optimization.

I just finished Doom: Eternal yesterday before the Dark Ages came out and it ran fully maxed out at 1440p @ 240 FPS without upscaling and was gorgeous.

Dark Ages looks pretty much the same as Eternal, but runs at 120-144 FPS.

That's still absolutely playable but how did it lose 50% performance in an IDTech game?

One game has Denuvo, the other doesn’t.

Oh holy shit.

I think you're actually right, it's probably Denuvo tanking performance

How did you get it working? I'm getting like 40 FPS over here.

You have to enable HDR in the Windows 10 settings, do Win+I, type "HD Color", and then set your AMD display drivers to "Color Correction" in Display to adjust for the bad Win10 HDR implementation.

My recommendation is:

Temperature: 10000

Brightness: -10

Hue: 0 (default)

Contrast: 120

Saturation: 165

Then enable HDR in Dark Ages, followed by FSR and Frame Gen, if you want.

HDR is the key.

Oh I don't have Windows. But I'll look into the HDR stuff, I usually leave it off.
