I easily meet the recommended, but is SSD *required* a common thing nowadays? I play plenty of video games but I rarely bother to actually look at the spec requirements. 

 

Feels like it's been around for a year or two.

There are some games where there's a noticeable difference just in how the game plays; Cyberpunk comes to mind.  I had downloaded the new dlc and had the game stored on HDD without thinking and loaded it up and it not only took forever to load, but the game was all sorts of jacked up.  I deleted everything, reinstalled onto one of my NVME's, game ran like butter and had 0 issues (Okay, that's not fair, there was definitely one NPC that just moonwalked away from me one time but I don't blame that on loading issues).

I can imagine with the unit density and everything else, this game is gonna want it.  IT's also gonna be CPU heavy which I am not thrilled about; that's my current bottleneck for optimum performance, as well as running a 1440p monitor.

Not to mention textures get increasingly bigger, especially in games like this where they're going for realism and/or fidelity. Then there's all the lightmaps, which iirc match the size. And if these are on an HDD you gotta wait for that disk to spin, and that laser to swivel while both GPU and CPU tap their toes and do nothing.

I'm above recommended by like one increment per individual spec. But I'll try and run it on an ultrawide for added suffering.

I wonder if it has any form of upscaling or frame generation.

It's CPU crushing.  I've got a RTX 2080 card and it's at about 70% utilization when running in Quality with most things set to High, with all CPU stuff turned to as low as possible, I'm still getting 100% CPU utilization on a i5-8600K which was what they said was their "minimum" requirement when they posted specs.

The game does not run great with that set up; it looks absolutely fantastic and gorgeous, but the moment to moment gameplay majorly suffers.  I can get through missions and stuff, but any time there's more than 3 Tyranid Warriors and some gaunts on screen, the audio cuts in and out and the actual enemies start teleporting, and hit registration goes right out the window for melee.  Thankfully, Ranged is very viable even in this type of situation as it gets better as numbers go down and there's usually plenty of targets to aim at to get back to smooth operation.

I'd say you need something higher than the Minimum recommended stuff to have a good time.  I'm having an okay time; I'm having a less good time looking at the cost of upgrading right now.  Thankfully 40k is taking a break for the rest of the year LOL.

Yeah, the minimum specs are for 30 FPS at 1080p. You need a fairly new CPU to run it well it appears, some people I've played with have had some performance issues as well and had to turn down settings.

 

For me, I have an i7-14700k and an RTX 4080 Super, much over recommended specs (for 60FPS at 1080p), so I can run it maxed out completely (not even using DLSS) at 1440p. Runs great (70+ fps at all times), looks fantastic.. But that hardware makes 40k look affordable.

I think my 1080Ti is gonna be pretty ok for this, maybe? Looking at the specs I'll probably get a comfortable 40-60fps, but with graphics turned down a notch or two.


Not played this yet but my 1080 still handles everything I throw at it, so your ti should be fine. I get a decent 60FPS on Darktide on medium-high settings and can even play it ok on max so I expect this to be fine too.
