Crimson Desert benchmark on GTX 1080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Crimson Desert FPS with a GTX 1080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 34FPS min 30Acceptable | 26FPS min 23Poor | 12FPS min 11Unplayable |
| High | 44FPS min 39Acceptable | 33FPS min 29Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| Medium | 57FPS min 50Acceptable | 44FPS min 39Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| Low | 74FPS min 65Good | 56FPS min 50Acceptable | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 46% | GPU 59% | GPU 81% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 0% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Crimson Desert, it is not worth it. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Crimson Desert at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1080 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 34 | 43 | 49 |
| 1440p | 26 | 35 | 43 |
| 4K | 12 | 17 | 22 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1080 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 1080 is what caps the frame rate in Crimson Desert. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 1080 Enough for Crimson Desert?
The GTX 1080 delivers 34 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Crimson Desert. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 26 FPS and at 4K 12 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
