Game still performs poorly on AMD hardware (2025 version)

Issue Type (Required):

Performance

Issue Description (Required):

The game has very poor frame times and frame pacing, the average FPS is really high (120-140 fps) but the 1% lows can drop to as low as the 50 fps. I am also get big stutters in the central hub. The last stable driver from AMD for this game was 23.11.1 (more than one year old now). I play a wide variety of games and everything performs smoothly except for this game. The whole experience just feels bad which is a shame because I love this game, I really hope this reaches on of the developers so they can sort this out.

Hardware is 7900XT/5800x3D

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Im interesed in the soon release of the 90’s series, but if the devs can’t make darktide run well on amd, sincerly i could need to go with nvidia wich are significaly expensive compared on price to performance with amd.

As a 7900xtx user that has someone with a 7900xt working to help me test my changes can I recommend these 2 fixes.

1st one (the experimental portion you will have to try on vs off, as well as test with AMD SAM disabled / enabled as it seems to vary) - I fixed stutter and textures not loading in! (Texutre streaming config file change)

2nd one to enable full screen optimizations - Fullscreen Optimisations are not enabled for Darktide (fix included)

This has helped me a lot with performance.

Yup same here. I am so sick of this game running like garbage for NO REASON. I HAVE A 6800XT CARD AND 7950X3D PROCESSOR. WHERE IS MY GOD DAMN 60FPS?!?

Disabling SAM does nothing for me. FPS constantly dip from 200+ to 60-70fps every 10-20 secs. 70fps doesn’t sound bad for me personally but those drops actually makes the game chugs super hard almost looks like slow motion or rubber banding.

Yep still runs terrible.

7800x3d

6000mhz 32gb ram

6800XT

Fatshart don’t care.

if they keep up with this a good chunk of players will leave nomore return
