Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Performance Feedback

Thanks for the reply and effort in helping to fix it.

Regarding answers

  • Do you have SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) enabled?
    • IF YES: Is there an improvement with it disabled?
    • A: I tried disabling it in bios but they seem to have moved the option somewhere. Give me some time, will look up and then retry. Although with 5080 with same CPU there was no perf difference.
  • Which driver version are you using?
  • A: The latest one: 25.4.1
  • Do these issues occur only in Darktide?
  • A: Yes, I tried bunch of other games like Battlefield/Assassins Creed Shadows/GTA V enhanced and even space marine 2. None of them have this issue.
  • Have you confirmed that all redundant GPU drivers have been uninstalled? This is especially important if the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is an upgrade and another GPU was previously installed in the same PC
  • A: The windows install is fresh, there were no other drivers present.
