Warhammer 40K: Darktide system requirements

It’s almost time to start the hunt for Chaos beneath Hive Tertium, and the Warhammer 40K: Darktide system requirements have arrived so you can make sure your PC is up to snuff before you dive into the gory co-op game action. Fatshark has now revealed recommended specs for a variety of hardware environments, along with presets that should get you in the ballpark of where you need to be, even if you aren’t using one of the best gaming PCs on the market.

If you’re planning on going in with all the fancy ray-tracing effects enabled, you’ll need one of the best graphics cards available. For ray-traced global illumination and reflections on high at 4K resolution, Fatshark recommends nothing less than an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 – and even then, you’ll want DLSS enabled, along with DLSS 3.0’s frame generation tech.

Fortunately, on the lower end of the preset spectrum, you’ll need something on the order of a GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 570 under the hood to see around 45 FPS at 1080p. No matter what settings you use, you’ll need 50GB of storage space, and Fatshark recommends a solid-state drive for everything except the lowest settings.

Here are the Warhammer 40K: Darktide system requirements:
