On a AMD RX 580 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Warhammer 40,000: Darktide runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 30FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 580 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 30 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 41 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 23 FPS at 4K. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 580 (4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB 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 | 30 | 61 |
| 1440p | 18 | 41 |
| 4K | 10 | 23 |
