On a AMD Radeon Vega 10 (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Warhammer 40,000: Darktide runs at roughly 20 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 9FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD Radeon Vega 10 (iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 20 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 9 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 20 FPS at 1080p and 12 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 7 FPS at 4K. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide offers ray tracing, but the AMD Radeon Vega 10 (iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 9 | 20 |
| 1440p | 5 | 12 |
| 4K | 3 | 7 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the AMD Radeon Vega 10 (iGPU) averages around 20 FPS at 1080p in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide — up from about 9 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the AMD Radeon Vega 10 (iGPU) averages roughly 12 FPS in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide; turn on upscaling or aim for a locked 60 for the best feel.
Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Shadow Quality and Particle / Effects Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
