does anyone know the best optimized settings

[Rainingdeath]

I have a ryzen 5600x and an rx 6800

Also looking for this

This game is just unoptimized piece of... game xd. I play it with lossless scaling.

[Renow]

super resolution 1.0: off, resolution 2: balanced, reflex: on+speed, smoothing: off

try this

Portraits off
No ray tracing and make sure the damn launcher isnt turning it back on.

[shnappy]

Portraits off is a huge one. Other than that… it’s a ♥♥♥♥ show of trying different things. I can run the game on max settings or lowest settings and it still runs poorly. It’s never been optimized and unlikely to ever be.

[Brutal]

Portraits really? Why is that so taxing?

this is from april 2023 so take it wit ha grain of salt but the orders of magnitudes should be alright

most important are low volumetric fog, disable motion blur, global illumination and ray tracing
you can also try dropping to 1080p if you're trying to get 1440p
and of course run it from an SSD (shouldn't use HDD anymore anyway)
as was said in the other thread, the game has a notoriously bad support for amd gpus so you sort of need to stay informed of which driver is currently the best on top of things

depends on your hardware, I run it on high (with above recommendations set) at a constant 90fps 1440p on a 4070 super which hovers at 40%, before I had a 3060 ti and ran on medium/low 60 fps 1080p
also you might be cpu bound if graphics settings don't change anything

A while ago the devs or FS (one or the other) recommended turning off portraits.

turn of SMT in BIOS or use Process Lasso, you see on this benchmark graph 6c/6t runs better than 8c/16t even : https://www.dsogaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Warhammer-40000-Darktide-CPU-Benchmarks.png

I'm not saying that the graphics don't change, or that the fps is bad, Darktide just runs poorly. Everything is fine then it breaks for no reason. Audio failures. Server disconnects. Stutters. Memory leaking. So much going on that optimal graphics settings still results in a messy experience.

Research which version of your GPU driver is currently considered the most optimised for Darktide. This seems to be a repeating problem for AMD users. Last time someone had issues I heard reverting to AMD Adrenalin 24.5.1 resolved their problems somewhat.

Whenever the game starts lagging out, mid or towards the end, tell your team you are going to restart game and alt F4, it sucks but playing when it doesn't run for some reason is worse.

I agree it can be a ♥♥♥♥ experience, however those other problems are hardly optimization issues but bugs. There is not much we can do about those...

[BluB3rry]

Best optimization you could do for amd is to switch to intel and nvidia or find another game to play.
Game engine hate amd garbage like hot garbage.
There is no fix for it.

iuh what resolution you on?
