~11 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Crimson Desert is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 11 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 4 FPS with everything on High.

💡 Crimson Desert: Huge open world on Pearl Abyss' BlackSpace engine - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 11 FPS, at 1440p about 7 FPS, and at 4K roughly 4 FPS with optimized settings. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
