Update to this: Despite being on a supported driver trying it spit out an error in the console log saying
03:06:08.251 warning: [AMD_GPU_SERVICES] Failed to initialize AGS. Error code: 2. Make sure you have an up to date AMD driver. Falling back to running without AGS.
But the game still ran a bit better anyway. Checking the documentation mentioned a new version check function for AGS, agsGetVersionNumber which I imagine is used in Darktide.
My suspicion is that the older version of AGS used doesn’t pair well with 7000 series cards but without it the driver will just do it’s best to figure it out. Incorrect optimization VS No optimization.
