Can the Dell Pro Max 16 run DOOM: The Dark Ages?
Minimum requirements
Probably can't run it
Just below the minimum requirements (one tier below the required graphics)
Does not meet recommended requirements
The publisher lists GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (tier 6), Radeon RX 6600 (tier 6); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 6. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA RTX PRO 1000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU: FAIL. NVIDIA RTX PRO 1000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU is tier 4; the requirement is tier 6. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU: NEAR_MISS. NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU is tier 5; the requirement is tier 6. That is one tier below the requirement. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU: FAIL. NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU is tier 3; the requirement is tier 6.

How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
