Looks like you have the game set to use your integrated graphics in the launcher settings. You need to change the video adapter to your dGPU.

In file explorer go to `C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Darktide` and open user\_settings.config in notepad or another text editor.  
Scroll down to where you see this:

```auto
direct_storage = {
}

```

and change it to this:

```auto
direct_storage = {
	enabled = false
}

```

AppData is a hidden folder by default so if you don’t see it in your user folder you can make them show up by clicking the _View_ dropdown → Show → Hidden items
