Crimson Desert benchmark on R9 390: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Crimson Desert FPS with a R9 390 and a Intel Core i5-13400

| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 74% | GPU 84% | GPU 94% |
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 R9 390 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 R9 390 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 16 | 20 | 23 |
| 1440p | 10 | 14 | 17 |
| 4K | 5 | 7 | 9 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The R9 390 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 R9 390 is what caps the frame rate in Crimson Desert. A faster processor would hardly change the result.

The R9 390 delivers 16 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Crimson Desert. This GPU is not enough for Crimson Desert at this resolution. We recommend a more powerful GPU.
