Best Crimson Desert settings for the Intel Arc B570 (2026)

On a Intel Arc B570 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Crimson Desert runs at roughly 64 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 65FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc B570 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 10GB of VRAM, and Crimson Desert is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 64 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 64 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Crimson Desert supports ray tracing and the Intel Arc B570 can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. The biggest free win is XeSS 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.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSOff
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.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM. High for 8GB cards, Ultra for 12GB+.
Global IlluminationHighbaseline
Bounce lighting across the landscape - the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Ultra is a big saving.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Ultra while running faster.
Vegetation / FoliageHighbaseline
Grass and tree density across the open world - a real cost in dense areas. Medium/High is the value pick.
ReflectionsHighbaseline
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Medium is plenty when ray tracing is off.
Volumetric Clouds & FogMediumbaseline
Volumetric clouds and weather fog - a real cost during storms. Medium is a clean trade.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the world renders in full detail. High avoids obvious pop-in; drop for frames.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Combat and weather effects. High is fine; lower in big battles for stability.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps the terrain sharp into the distance. Practically free - leave at 16x.
