Crimson Desert | PS5 vs PS5 Pro | Final Graphics Comparison

LectureMaster

Or is it just one of Adam's balls in my throat?


  • Crimson Desert on PS5 and PS5 Pro offers three display modes: Quality, Balanced, and Performance.
  • Quality mode offers higher settings for lighting, level of detail, texturing, vegetation, and water quality.
  • The PS5 applies more significant setting reductions in Performance Mode compared to the PS5 Pro.
  • The biggest difference lies in Ray-Tracing lighting. The PS5 makes a considerable cutback in this area in Performance Mode.
  • PSSR still has room for improvement with this game on the PS5 Pro, producing a slightly washed-out image compared to the PS5 at times.
  • As for performance, I'm pleasantly surprised. The PS5 can reach peaks of approximately 80 fps in Performance Mode, while the PS5 Pro ranges between 90–100 fps.
  • The Blackspace Engine shows very good optimization on both consoles. Pearl Abyss has done a great job.
 
So the quality mode is actually very close to 60 fps and performance can run up to 120? The official performance chart is very conservative then.

I think you can ignore their resolution metrics but they capture high quality footage and fps numbers should be correct.
Not so sure about their fps, I think that's one of the reasons they were banned. They use TRDROP, which hasn't been updated since 2022.

I never knew the channel is banned lol. I found their performance videos informative. Ain't no way they are illegitimate and then have 700k+ subs right?

They should be banned for the God awful music alone, but:

Yeah that's my first time seeing the thread.

EviLore EviLore Is the channel good now?
 
I've only played the opening, but when you turn off v-sync it unlocks the frame rate and even on Quality it was getting around 60fps(my TV has a frame rate counter, PS5 Pro). I'm sure that will fluctuate later on.

Those PS5 Pro framerate numbers are absolutely wrong. The developer's own performance charts for the Pro show Quality mode hitting 30fps.
Yeah that's why I was saying devs chart is conservative. When turning off Vsync I was able to get ~40s in quality mode. I was only in the prologue and never able to hit 60 tho.
