NVIDIA recently hosted a community-focused gaming event in Dubai to showcase DOOM: The Dark Ages running on its new GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards. The launch, held at Power League Gaming studio, offered members of the region’s gaming and creator ecosystem an early opportunity to experience the upcoming title with real-time ray tracing enabled — or “RTX ON.”
Organized in collaboration with MSI, ZOTAC, and Razer, the event brought together players, hardware enthusiasts, content creators, and partners for a preview of both the game and the underlying technology. Attendees engaged with hands-on demos of the new DOOM installment, powered by NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 and Reflex technologies, which aim to improve frame rates, reduce latency, and enhance visual fidelity.
A custom-built DOOM-themed PC featuring the RTX 50 Series was also on display, designed by known PC modder UltraPCGamers. The rig served as a centerpiece to highlight the performance and customization potential of NVIDIA’s latest GPU architecture in action.
Chantelle Tavid, Head of Marketing for MENA/CIS at NVIDIA, spoke at the event, emphasizing how the new generation of RTX technologies is meant to enhance more than just raw frame rates. “What defines performance today is a combination of image quality, responsiveness, and latency,” she said, noting that features like DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation are increasingly relevant for games pushing both graphical and competitive boundaries.
DOOM: The Dark Ages serves as a prequel to DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, taking players into a medieval-inspired setting while continuing the franchise’s legacy of fast-paced, visceral combat. Built on the new idTech 8 engine, the game supports advanced features like native ray tracing and DLSS acceleration out of the box.
NVIDIA’s decision to host the event in Dubai reflects a growing interest in the Middle East gaming sector. With a rapidly expanding community of players and creators, the region has become a key focus for major technology and entertainment brands. According to NVIDIA, events like these are part of an ongoing effort to connect with the regional gaming audience, support local talent, and demonstrate how its technologies integrate with high-performance gaming experiences.
The preview of DOOM: The Dark Ages in this setting reinforces both the franchise’s continued relevance and NVIDIA’s interest in aligning next-gen gaming hardware with global community engagement. While the game’s official release is still pending, events like this offer a glimpse into how studios and hardware partners are working to promote both performance and immersion as foundational pillars of modern PC gaming.
