i have an 9070tx card with an ryzen 5800x it runs realy poor i thought it would run good but darktide isnt realy optimized on the 900 series of cards

Yes, same.

Do you have Ray Tracing on?

I am not sure… but now that you say that, I had to restart the game several times cause of unplayable game after few games.

nope not at all

I’m having this exact same problem after the Nightmares and Visions update. It’s extremely consistent.

First mission will be 120+ fps, second will be 80s fps, third 60s, and a fourth will be 30s if I forget to restart the game. Fps drops happen as soon as I load into the hub area after the mission. It also does not matter how long the mission was, and it happens regardless of mission type or difficulty.

Windows 11, gamepass version, RTX 3070ti, i7-12700kf

Reported GPU utilization from nvidia overlay actually goes down after the first fps drop to around 90%, card temps are not changing and never high.

I can’t find any settings that fix the issue. Changing settings will change the current fps up or down of course, but the degradation will still happen every mission until the game is quit and restarted.

I suspect it’s memory leaks. Prolly have to reboot the game after 3-4 hours of play. ( that’s what I do or it crashes)

Same, after one match it drops down to 60 from 140fps. Any fix?
