Crimson Desert Delivers Enhanced Ray Tracing Upgrade
Pearl Abyss's upcoming open-world game Crimson Desert delivers PC-exclusive ray tracing modes that Digital Foundry found produce ultra-quality lighting, and the feature launches just days before release. Benchmarks show Nvidia DLSS Ray Reconstruction and AMD FSR4 Ray Regeneration improve denoising but reduce performance—about a 14% frame-rate drop on an RTX 5080 and 24% on an RX 9070 XT in 4K. Players may need to tune settings, and the PC build includes Denuvo DRM.
