Crimson Desert is finally here, and it is absolutely punishing on hardware. If you want to explore Pywel without your frame rate dipping into slideshow territory, you need serious graphical horsepower. We put the highly anticipated RTX 5070 to the test at 1440p. Let us see if Nvidia's latest champion can handle Pearl Abyss's stunning open world... and exactly what tweaks you need to maximise your FPS.

The RTX 5070 is built for high-refresh 1440p gaming. Featuring Nvidia's new Blackwell architecture, it brings massive improvements to ray tracing and DLSS 4 frame generation. But Crimson Desert is a beast of a game. With complex weather systems and dense crowds, it demands a lot from your system. If your current rig is struggling, you might be looking to upgrade your graphics card to keep up with next-gen titles.

RTX 5070 Crimson Desert at 1440p: The Raw Numbers 🚀

We ran our benchmark tests using a high-end test bench to avoid CPU bottlenecks. At 1440p Native resolution with Ultra settings, the RTX 5070 delivers a respectable 55 to 65 FPS. It is playable, but competitive gamers usually want more fluidity.

Turning on DLSS Quality mode changes everything. It bumps those numbers up to a buttery smooth 85 to 95 FPS. This makes exploring the harsh, dynamic landscapes feel incredibly responsive. If you prefer a machine ready to go out of the box, our custom gaming PCs are built to hit these exact performance targets.

TIP

Performance Pro Tip 🔧

To squeeze out extra frames without losing visual quality, lower Volumetric Clouds and Shadow Quality from Ultra to High. These two settings alone can boost your FPS by up to 15% in Crimson Desert's heavily forested areas.

Dialling In Your Optimal Settings ✨

To get the perfect balance of visual fidelity and smooth combat, you need to tweak a few things. Keep textures on Ultra to appreciate the intricate armour details. Drop screen space reflections down to High. Turn on DLSS Frame Generation if you want to push past the 100 FPS mark.

For gamers who want a completely hassle-free setup, grabbing one of our pre-built desktop computers ensures you have the right CPU and RAM combo to support these demanding settings.
