The game looks sharp in all three visual modes (optimal, balanced, and quality, with optimal being the performance-focused option), though some PSSR upscaling artifacts can ruin parts of the image. DF is hopeful that Crimson Desert‘s final version will look better, thanks to it using the upgraded version of PSSR seen in Resident Evil Requiem. As for framerate performance, Digital Foundry reports that all three modes do a solid job sticking to their target framerates, even the 60FPS “optimal” mode.

There are roadblocks that make the exploit impractical for many users. The system needs firmware version 4.50, released late in 2021, or older, for this approach to work. Digital Foundry was also unable to achieve a higher resolution than 1080p. Nevertheless, on Ubuntu, the site could take advantage of the PS5’s GPU and CPU with few restrictions. Geekbench 6 found that the boosted CPU mode on Sony’s hardware produced a multi-core score similar to the AMD Ryzen 5 3600. Meanwhile, with Linux on the PS5, the single-core score resembled the results of the Intel Core i7 7700.
