Warhammer 40K: Darktide system requirements don't look kind at all.

Lately situation on PC regarding new games and their performance wasn't ideal. Games like Gotham Knights, Uncharted 4 and A Plague Tale: Requiem weren't launched in a good standing and you could also say that they were more demanding then they should be. Now we're in for another, this time somewhat of a gentler shock because of upcoming Warhammer 40K: Darktide system requirements.

In short, with RTX 3060 you'll get 60 fps at 1080p on medium quality settings without raytracing. And that's with upscalling (DLSS or FSR) turned on!

Here are system requirements:

For 1080p, low settings, 30-45 fps

  • CPU: Intel i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600
  • GPU:  GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon RX 570
  • RAM: 8 GB RAM
  • Storage: 50 GB HDD

For 1080p, medium settings, 60 fps

  • CPU: Intel i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • GPU:  GeForce RTX 2060/3060 or Radeon RX 6800 XT
  • RAM: 16 GB RAM
  • Storage: 50 GB SSD

For 1440p, medium RT settings, 60-70 fps

  • CPU: Intel i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800
  • GPU:  GeForce RTX 3080
  • RAM: 16 GB RAM
  • Storage: 50 GB SSD

For 4K, high settings, 100 fps

  • CPU: Intel i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 9 5900
  • GPU: GeForce RTX 4080
  • RAM: 16 GB RAM
  • Storage: 50 GB SSD
