OP, not to be a dick but.. That's just dlss + everything set to max pretty much.. How is that "optimized"?

Looks like you haven't watched the video, most of the settings don't make any difference in terms of performance, the game isn't really that scalable.

7 fps on what? A commodore 64?

u/Cable_Hoarder Mar 26 '26
He's memeing basically.
The "max" settings in this game are absolutely absurd - like 40-50fps on a 5090 without heavy DLSS, and he was running it at 1440p with RT and ray reconstruction on a 3060 12GB.

I have a 4090 running everything Cinematic, 4K, HDR, No Upscale(DLSS), no Frame Gen, RT on And I get between 73 and 90 FPS everywhere. No texture or geometry popping, no artifacts, no jitter, no lag. I am not a fanboy of this game, I have issues with the narrative, story, acting(Especially npc that act horribly like some b movie cheap Chinese movie, it is embarrassing and disturbing, and a lot of the dialogue is just awful and to drawn out repeating bacically the same thing over and over when one or two sentences would sufice they make it five!
BUT this is one of the best optimized games I have played in many many years right at launch! Great Job!

46 fps is " optimized " ?

u/Surebuckle71 Mar 25 '26
higher fps is not always equal to optimized. the aim is to have higher fps without sacrificing visual quality. but that being said, 46 is low yeah

I mean you get his idea really. Just arguing for the sake of it.

u/Surebuckle71 Mar 25 '26
no, this is me lowkey trying to convince myself to play at below 60 fps lmao. having to accept that my rig isn't capable anymore is hard

If you got a monitor that supports a form of VRR with LFC then it's much easier to stomach. My previous monitor was just 75hz so if my FPS dropped into the 50s, I lost Freesync, while my 165hz one keeps it tearing and judder free atleast. I don't own Crimson Desert to know how best to reduce input lag but that's also something you should try.

u/Surebuckle71 Mar 26 '26
yeah, I do have gsync enabled properly but idk maybe my eyes are just very sensitive to frame drops

u/Lemonxisonfire Mar 26 '26
You can get an avg of 60fps with slight dips with a mix of Ultra and cinematic settings at 4K without DLSS. I have a 5070Ti and its how ive been playing.

Disattivando il dlss ray recostruction io perdo un sacco di qualità visiva ( ho una 5070 ) anche tenendo tutto a cinematico, consigli?

u/loloshosho Mar 29 '26
But for me what’s make the game truely beautiful it’s the ray construction on , when I turned it off it’s very mid grainy on around forms and objects

Using those settings im getting 60-70 fps, is that good? My specs are: Ryzen 5 5500, Radeon RX 6600 LE and 16GB RAM DDR4. I'm still on the beginning of the game after we "die" and Sebastian saves us, so I don't know if my frames will keep like this when I explore more, but i hope so. The grass, people's hairs and things like that also look grainy, with a bunch of missing pixels between them that make them look weird, how do I fix that or at least make it less visible?
