Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is arriving soon. A game that follows in the same vein as the Warhammer: Vermintide franchise comes to the PC via Steam and Xbox Game Pass. Developer Fatshark has released several hardware recommendations for various graphics settings ranging from 1080p minimum to 4K maximum.

To play at 1080p, with graphics preset at the minimum and AMD FSR support, a GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon RX 570 is required, and this will yield between 30 and 45 FPS, according to the studio. To run Warhammer 40,000: Darktide in 4K, ray tracing, and maximum graphics quality, you will need an RTX 4080. See the requirements below.
