Best Crimson Desert settings for the AMD Radeon 660M (iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon 660M (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Crimson Desert runs at roughly 24 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 9FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Radeon 660M (iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Crimson Desert is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 24 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 9 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 24 FPS at 1080p and 14 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 8 FPS at 4K. Crimson Desert offers ray tracing, but the AMD Radeon 660M (iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Crimson Desert at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Crimson Desert: Huge open world on Pearl Abyss' BlackSpace engine - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Crimson Desert (Pearl Abyss' BlackSpace engine) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. In this huge open world, upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced lighting and reflections across the open world. Gorgeous but the heaviest setting by far - keep Off unless you have upscaling + Frame Gen on.
Global IlluminationLow+15% FPS
Bounce lighting across the landscape - the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Ultra is a big saving.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Ultra while running faster.
Vegetation / FoliageLow+9% FPS
Grass and tree density across the open world - a real cost in dense areas. Medium/High is the value pick.
ReflectionsLow+8% FPS
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Medium is plenty when ray tracing is off.
Volumetric Clouds & FogLow+7% FPS
Volumetric clouds and weather fog - a real cost during storms. Medium is a clean trade.
View DistanceLow+6% FPS
How far the world renders in full detail. High avoids obvious pop-in; drop for frames.
Effects QualityLow+5% FPS
Combat and weather effects. High is fine; lower in big battles for stability.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM. High for 8GB cards, Ultra for 12GB+.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the terrain sharp into the distance. Practically free - leave at 16x.
