Which PC is needed for Crimson Desert

For the concept of "what kind of computer you need for Crimson Desert", you should focus on the type of gameplay you want to get. Since the game has a large world and realistic graphics, it is better to choose a processor with high cache bandwidth (for example, Ryzen 7 7800X3D) and a modern graphics card with support for hardware ray tracing.

If you're playing in Full HD, an RTX 5070 will suffice. For QHD (1440p), the RTX 5080 is the best choice. And to fully enjoy 4K mode, it's worth having a top PC build with RTX 5090 and a powerful Ryzen 7 9800X3D or Core Ultra 9 285K for heavy scenes.

Graphic settings: 1080p, 1440p, 4K

Example of components for custom graphics and resolution settings:

• 1080p - High: RTX 5070 or RX 9070 / Ryzen 5 5600X or Core i5 14400

• 1440p - Ultra: RTX 5080 or RX 9070 XT / Ryzen 7 7800X3D or Core Ultra 5 245K

• 4K - Epic: RTX 5090 / Ryzen 7 9800X3D or Core Ultra 9 285K

The combination of these graphics cards and processors will deliver excellent performance at your chosen resolution with high/maximum graphics settings.

Performance Optimization in Crimson Desert

To get consistently high FPS in Crimson Desert, follow a few tips:

• Use DLSS or FSR to scale without losing quality.

• Install the game on a 1TB NVMe SSD - this will reduce load times and eliminate freezes.
