Crimson Desert looked and ran rather nicely at 4K ultra in our preview coverage with a 7900X3D processor paired with an RX 7900 XTX - but what about optimised settings and a far less capable PC? Contributor Rayan delivers DF optimised settings, while Rich maps them across to a rather more modest Ryzen 5 3600/RTX 4060 PC. In the process we learn where the game is CPU and GPU limited - and it still holds up fairly well.
