CPU and bandwidth - idTech 7 is bandwidth heavy, from what I understand. Honestly, waiting to see if whoever is porting DOOM Dark Ages manages to make it run at 60fps...even if it's based on something like dynamic 600p. Apparently, idTech 8 is better positioned to achieve that than idTech 7.

That is where I am at, which aligns with my prediction.  The S2 simply doesn't have the power to manage 60 fps in modern games, it largely is off the table, with a few exceptions here and there.  Even RE9 doesn't hold 60 fps, and the game requirements are quite low (1660 gpu and 8th gen i5). 

Component	DOOM: The Dark Ages	Indiana Jones (Great Circle)	Resident Evil 9
CPU	i7‑10700K (8 cores)	i7‑10700K	i5‑8500
RAM	16 GB	16 GB	16 GB
GPU	RTX 2060 Super	RTX 2060 Super	GTX 1660

Requirements for Doom are far higher than RE9.  If RE9 can't hold 60 fps, I do not see how Doom as any chance of being 60 fps on the S2.  

Those RE9 minimum system requirements are for lowest settings without RT.

When you turn on RT, it's much heavier, heavier than DOOM actually. Then again, you can't turn off RT in DOOM, like in RE9. I don't know - if they do manage to pull 60fps in SW2 version, that would probably be a great example of miracle port.
