new AMD drivers today which includes FSR4 support for Darktide:

I just tested them and it’s AMAZING! microstutters are gone for me, so much smoother!!!

i saw it but doesnt work

set it to Hyper-RX for Darktide

in the launcher, set the resolution one step below your native resolution

in game make sure FSR 3.1 is turned on
in game frame gen is optional because with Hyper-RX you are getting AMFM2 frame gen

on the per game tab?

nope they wont work

upscale status you don’t have it set right

you have to set your resolution to 1 step below native in the game launcher

you have to have FSR 3.1 on in the game settings

I was using your settings on my 9070xt up until today, weirdly the 1296 option, so one step below my 1440p has disappeared from the options in darktide following the amd updatem

Anyone else seen that?

The only option I have is 1920x1200 which creates a low res and stretch across my screen look.

Any ideas?

Weird, my normal 1296 is still available, I actually set it the launcher

In the laucher settings? I did that but it still refused to even work

Yes, I set the resolution in the launcher and it works fine

When the game is running, can you press ALT-R and bring up the adrenalin software and go to gaming, Darktide and it will show you if the options are working with green circles and if it’s not working it will tell you the issue

It’s still kinda playable without using the resolution scaling, I feel like there’s been a slight improvement overall in fps. Since the update, but texture pop is nuts, though I am getting to the point where I just think that’s the tide game engine.

Do you get the issue where the cosmetics screens are hideously slow? Loading the cosmetic thumb nails takes forever and causes the fps to bottom out to 1. Changing an item of clothing takes forever, same on the shop.

Never happened on my 3060ti but with my sapphire nitro+ 9070xt the cosmetics screens are basically unusable at this point. It’s wild. Video of thumbnail loading in action. They don’t even stay in memory when I scroll back up the thumbnail list.

it finaly works

they only need to fix the items image loading stutters

and fsr4 is gone from my driver on darktide

Hey I have a thread on that

tl;dr:
The game uses an AMD GPU services dll that only supports up to the 6000 series (that explains a lot) and they haven’t updated it since launch. The good news is that FSR4 can still work even if the AMD overlay popup doesn’t say it does or if you don’t get the toggle. I explain and show how to make it work.

This also happened on my 7900XT which now that I think about it could also be because of the outdated DLL in Darktide I mentioned above. iirc AMD uses Smart Access Memory (their name for ReBAR) to accelerate directstorage but if the driver doesn’t know what the game is it’s going to cause problems

Hi mate,

You linked my guide above for the stutter fix (it never ended up being perfect).

I have created a new fix for AMD graphics cards specifically when it comes to stuttering and I have had great results with a:

  • 9070 xt
  • 7900 xtx

If you could give it a go and let me know your experience in the posts comments + your specs that would be great.

Thanks
