Frames in games do not just affect the performance of your game. They actually affect your gameplay too. Essentially, the more frames you have, the better your chances of hitting someone. It’s why esports use monitors that have a refresh rate of 144hz or more. It also makes your gameplay experience that much smoother. In Darktide, you will be fighting against hordes of enemies, so you will definitely need some extra frames to help you out. Here are the best video settings to use in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
