Warhammer 40,000: Darktide benchmark on RX 7900 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide FPS with a RX 7900 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 149FPS min 92Excellent | 125FPS min 83Excellent | 82FPS min 71Good |
| High | 194FPS min 119Excellent | 163FPS min 109Excellent | 107FPS min 93Good |
| Medium | 253FPS min 156Excellent | 213FPS min 142Excellent | 140FPS min 122Excellent |
| Low | 327FPS min 201Excellent | 276FPS min 184Excellent | 181FPS min 157Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 44% | CPU 35% | balanced |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 7900 XT. There is 11% 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 7900 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 149 | 186 | 216 | 316 |
| 1440p | 125 | 169 | 206 | 287 |
| 4K | 82 | 119 | 152 | 202 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 7900 XT 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 7900 XT 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.
Is the RX 7900 XT Enough for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide?
The RX 7900 XT delivers 149 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 125 FPS and at 4K 82 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
