On a NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Warhammer 40,000: Darktide runs at roughly 30 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 14FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) 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 30 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 14 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 30 FPS at 1080p and 18 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 10 FPS at 4K. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) 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 | 14 | 30 |
| 1440p | 8 | 18 |
| 4K | 5 | 10 |

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.
