Crimson Desert benchmark on GTX 980 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Crimson Desert FPS with a GTX 980 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 24FPS min 21Poor | 17FPS min 15Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| High | 32FPS min 28Acceptable | 23FPS min 21Poor | 10FPS min 9Unplayable |
| Medium | 41FPS min 36Acceptable | 29FPS min 26Poor | 13FPS min 12Unplayable |
| Low | 54FPS min 48Acceptable | 38FPS min 34Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 61% | GPU 72% | GPU 88% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
It makes no difference which processor you have: with the GTX 980 Ti in Crimson Desert the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.
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 980 Ti with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 24 | 30 | 35 |
| 1440p | 17 | 23 | 28 |
| 4K | 8 | 12 | 15 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 980 Ti 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 980 Ti is what caps the frame rate in Crimson Desert. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 980 Ti Enough for Crimson Desert?
The GTX 980 Ti delivers 24 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Crimson Desert. This GPU is not enough for Crimson Desert at this resolution. We recommend a more powerful GPU.
At 1440p it gets 17 FPS and at 4K 8 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
