Testing Crimson Desert on two PCs - one high end "max spec" machine, one second-hand "min spec" build - to see how different the PC gaming experience is between them.
Crimson Desert is a beautiful open world action game from developer Pearl Abyss, with a system requirements sheet that seems almost too good to be true in 2026. Obviously, the graphics won't look as crispy on a PC towards the lower end of the spec range compared to a high end monster rig, but how big is the difference? Can Crimson Desert still maintain its good looks and a playable frame rate on a low-spec PC?
