On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Warhammer 40,000: Darktide runs at roughly 81 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 82FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 1440p — about 81 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 131 FPS at 1080p and 81 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super 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. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 131 | 131 |
| 1440p | 82 | 81 |
| 4K | 46 | 62 |
