Can the NVIDIA RTX 3050 run Warhammer 40,000: Darktide? (2026)

✅ Yes

~66 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3050 is a entry-level card with 8GB of VRAM, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 66 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 50 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	50	66
1440p	30	61
4K	17	46

💡 Warhammer 40,000: Darktide: Dense hordes are CPU-heavy; turn off Ray Tracing and lower Effects first.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 66 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 46 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
