Warhammer 40,000: Darktide benchmark on RX 6800: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide FPS with a RX 6800 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 91FPS min 65Good | 72FPS min 58Good | 41FPS min 36Acceptable |
| High | 119FPS min 86Good | 94FPS min 76Good | 54FPS min 48Acceptable |
| Medium | 155FPS min 111Excellent | 122FPS min 99Excellent | 70FPS min 62Good |
| Low | 201FPS min 145Excellent | 158FPS min 128Excellent | 91FPS min 80Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 26% | CPU 10% | GPU 34% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 6800. There is 18% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Warhammer 40,000: Darktide at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RX 6800 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 91 | 114 | 132 |
| 1440p | 72 | 97 | 119 |
| 4K | 41 | 59 | 76 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6800 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and FSR is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RX 6800 has headroom to spare in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 6800 Enough for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide?
The RX 6800 delivers 91 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 72 FPS and at 4K 41 FPS at Ultra quality.
