Pearl Abyss has just released the final PC system requirements for its upcoming game, Crimson Desert. So, let’s see what PC system you’ll need to game with 60FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K.
Crimson Desert will come with some cool tech features. For instance, it will have realistic water effects thanks to FFT Ocean simulation and Shallow Water simulation. These will enable realistic waves, currents, and ripples. The game will also have Ray Tracing effects. From what I could see in a recent video, we’ll most likely get RTGI and RT shadows.
Crimson Desert will also have Volumetric Fog with fluid simulation, as well as GPU-based cloth and hair simulation. Players will also be able to interact with the vegetation/grass. Plus, there will be some cool wind effects.
The minimum PC requirements are the same as those we shared in December 2024. With these PC specs, you will run the game at 1080p with upscaling, on Low Settings with 30FPS.
For gaming at 1080p on Medium Settings with 60FPS, you will need an Intel Core i5 8500 or an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or an AMD Radeon RX 6500XT.
At 1080p/60FPS or 1440p/30FPS on Medium Settings, you will need an Intel Core i5 11600K or an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 or an AMD Radeon RX 6700XT.
For gaming at 1440p on High Settings with 60FPS, you will need an Intel Core i5 12600K or an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 or an AMD Radeon RX 7700XT.
Finally, to get 60FPS at Native 4K on Ultra Settings, you will need an Intel Core i5 13600K or an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 9070XT.
Pearl Abyss plans to release Crimson Desert on March 19th. The team has already provided us with a review code, so you can expect a day-1 PC Performance Analysis. Do also note that the PC version has graphics settings even higher than Ultra. As such, to max out the PC version, you will need more powerful GPUs than those listed on Ultra Settings.
Stay tuned for more!
