### 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): No, I don’t use mods ### Reproduction Rate (Required): Constant (100%) ### Platform (Required): PC - Steam ---

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)](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/i-fixed-stutter-and-textures-not-loading-in-texutre-streaming-config-file-change/102199) 2nd one to enable full screen optimizations - [Fullscreen Optimisations are not enabled for Darktide (fix included)](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/fullscreen-optimisations-are-not-enabled-for-darktide-fix-included/103471) This has helped me a lot with performance. ---

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. ---
