Warhammer 40,000: Darktide System Requirements FAQ

Can I run Warhammer 40,000: Darktide on a low-end PC?
If your PC meets the *minimum* requirements (Intel i5-6400/AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970/AMD Radeon RX 470, 8GB RAM), you should be able to play Darktide at low settings and a lower resolution. Expect performance issues and potential stuttering. For a smoother experience, consider upgrading your hardware.
What GPU do I need for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide?
At a minimum, you'll need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 470. For a better experience with higher settings and resolutions, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT is recommended.
How much RAM does Warhammer 40,000: Darktide need?
Darktide requires at least 8GB of RAM to run. However, 16GB of RAM is recommended for smoother gameplay, especially at higher settings and resolutions, and to avoid potential memory-related crashes.
Will Warhammer 40,000: Darktide run on integrated graphics?
While technically possible on some high-end integrated graphics solutions, it is highly unlikely Darktide will run well, if at all, on integrated graphics. A dedicated graphics card is strongly recommended to ensure a playable experience.
What is the best graphics settings for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide?
The 'best' settings depend on your hardware. Start with the 'Medium' preset and adjust from there. Lowering settings like 'Shadow Quality,' 'Ambient Occlusion,' and 'Texture Quality' can significantly improve performance. Experiment to find a balance between visual fidelity and framerate.
