Crimson Desert benchmark on RX 590: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Crimson Desert FPS with a RX 590 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 24FPS min 21Poor | 16FPS min 14Poor | 6FPS min 5Unplayable |
| High | 32FPS min 28Acceptable | 20FPS min 18Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| Medium | 41FPS min 36Acceptable | 27FPS min 24Poor | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| Low | 54FPS min 48Acceptable | 35FPS min 31Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 61% | GPU 75% | GPU 90% |
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 RX 590 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 RX 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 24 | 30 | 35 |
| 1440p | 16 | 22 | 26 |
| 4K | 6 | 9 | 11 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 590 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 RX 590 is what caps the frame rate in Crimson Desert. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 590 Enough for Crimson Desert?
The RX 590 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 16 FPS and at 4K 6 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
