en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/o… The first user reviews for the action RPG Crimson Desert have appeared on Steam. At the moment the project has a mixed rating based on almost 9000 reviews which speaks volumes about the controversial quality of the 1 release version. Most of the criticism fell on the incredibly overloaded control system when playing on a keyboard and mouse. Gamers genuinely do not understand why developers force them to press 2 or 3 keys at once for a simple jump sprint or dialogue with characters turning gameplay into a routine. Despite the storm of negativity due to the cluttered interface and strange game design decisions the game has its defenders. Users praise the beautiful open world spectacular combat system and excellent immersion when playing on controllers but most still advise waiting for 1 patches with basic mechanics fixes. #CrimsonDesert #Steam #PCGaming #GamingNews #Reviews

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/s… Our lab conducted a detailed performance test of Death Stranding 2 in 4K resolution on outdated generation video cards. We decided to test in practice what old flagships like the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and Radeon RX 5700 XT are capable of. The results of our benchmark showed that the game is indeed excellently optimized. Both of these video cards were able to provide a stable console 30 frames per second at high graphics settings handling the rendering of the heavy open world quite well. The key factor in this success was the mandatory use of the balanced FSR mode. Our tests confirm that this particular algorithm is critically necessary for a comfortable gaming experience in ultra high resolution on older graphic chips. #DeathStranding2 #4KGaming #Benchmarks #PCGaming #Hardware

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/o… AMD has released a new version of the Adrenalin 26.3.1 graphics driver. This update is primarily intended to ensure optimal performance of fresh heavy releases including the role playing game Crimson Desert and the PC port of the action game Death Stranding 2. An important innovation of the fresh patch is the integration of the updated FSR 4.1 image scaling technology which is declared for the latest nine thousand series video cards. In addition developers fixed annoying bugs like crashes in Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing enabled. As usual there is a list of known issues. The company is already working on fixing graphic artifacts and crashes in the new Battlefield 6 as well as resolving stability issues with Death Stranding 2 on previous generation Radeon RX 5000 video cards and fixing errors in RoadCraft. #AMD #Radeon #Drivers #CrimsonDesert #PCGaming

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/obno… The piracy community faced a serious obstacle on the release day of the massive action game Crimson Desert. The recently popular protection bypass method using a hypervisor turned out to be completely useless for the new title. Users of specialized forums are sure that the creators of Denuvo managed to release a major update to their system specifically for this launch. While previous big releases were easily bypassed via processor virtualization the fresh code simply prevents the game from starting and throws errors. Despair reigns on hacker platforms right now as enthusiasts cannot adapt old scripts to the new realities. Regular players can only monitor the situation because the protection might be cracked in the near future or it might not be cracked at all. #CrimsonDesert #Denuvo #CrackWatch #PCGaming #GamingNews

en.gamegpu.com/test-gpu/actio… We published a massive performance test of Death Stranding 2 on older generation hardware. We checked in practice how the large scale game works on once popular video cards from GTX 1060 to RX 5700 XT paired with older processors. The developers did a great job optimizing the updated engine for weak systems. A flexible resource streaming system and competent load distribution help avoid sharp drops and freezes even with an acute shortage of video memory on outdated devices. At the same time the system requirements remain quite severe. For a comfortable playthrough at high graphics settings you will have to actively use the balanced FSR scaling mode and the total RAM consumption of the entire system can reach an impressive 20 gigabytes. #DeathStranding2 #Benchmarks #Hardware #PCGaming #FSR

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/razn… Against the backdrop of the release of the action RPG Crimson Desert heated disputes broke out regarding the quality of scaling technologies. Contradictory test results from western YouTube channels radically diverged from our objective benchmarks. Our independent hardware tests clearly demonstrated that the praised ray reconstruction from NVIDIA in this game frankly blurs fine texture details and vegetation. At the same time the built in regeneration system from AMD produces a much sharper and detailed picture in dynamics. Despite physical evidence from our editorial board western channels like Digital Foundry and Hardware Unboxed claim the opposite. We do not want to create hype but just give people the truth and when the game officially comes out you can test reconstruction or regeneration yourselves. #CrimsonDesert #GameGPU #Reconstruction #Regeneration #PCGaming

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/tolk… The results of video card performance testing in the PC version of the action game Death Stranding 2 have been published on the site. The main discovery was the incredibly high hardware requirements when activating maximum graphics settings and ray tracing in 4K resolution. The chart data shows that physically correct reflections and shadows put a colossal load on the system. Only one video card on the market was able to deliver the coveted 60 frames per second in native resolution without upscalers and that turned out to be the flagship GeForce RTX 5090. The rest of the graphics accelerators could not overcome this bar of comfortable gameplay. The previous generation represented by the top tier RTX 4090 provides only 46 frames so owners of other systems will have to activate image scaling algorithms without fail. #DeathStranding2 #RTX5090 #NVIDIA #Benchmarks #PCGaming

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/tras… Technical tests of the PC version of Death Stranding 2 allow us to predict the development of the Decima graphics engine in future projects. Based on this data we can draw conclusions about the technological level of the next installment in the Horizon series. It is assumed that the game will offer scalable graphics for different devices. The base version of PlayStation 5 will receive only simplified ray tracing an advanced modification will go to the PS5 Pro console and full path tracing will become the main trump card of the future PlayStation 6. At the same time the release of the sequel on personal computers is practically excluded. The weight of the engine new technologies for modern hardware indirectly confirms the information that Sony plans to wind down the initiative to release its major projects outside its own console ecosystem. #Horizon3 #Decima #PlayStation #Sony #GamingNews

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/dviz… The release of the PC version of Death Stranding 2 brought significant technical changes to the proprietary Decima engine. The developers deeply modernized the core architecture to implement current rendering standards for modern computers. For the first time for games on this technology full ray tracing was implemented. This option replaces outdated lighting and reflection methods allowing the creation of physically correct mirror surfaces of water bodies and realistic contact shadows throughout the open world. In addition the proprietary anti-aliasing and image scaling algorithm from Sony was integrated into the project. The exclusive PICO technology works on any video card and provides a clear image with a high frame rate successfully complementing familiar market upscalers. #DeathStranding2 #Decima #Sony #RayTracing #PCGaming
