On a AMD RX 9060 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Warhammer 40,000: Darktide runs at roughly 74 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 55FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 9060 XT (8GB) is a strong 1440p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 74 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 55 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 90 FPS at 1080p and 74 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 9060 XT (8GB) can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. With only 8GB 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 | 92 | 90 |
| 1440p | 55 | 74 |
| 4K | 31 | 62 |
