Crimson Desert DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4 Support Explained

Yes. On PC, Pearl Abyss says Crimson Desert supports:

• FSR 3/4
• DLSS 4/4.5
• AMD FSR Ray Regeneration
• NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction

That is the current official support matrix from the FAQ. The important caveat is that support does not mean every related image issue is fully solved.

Quick answer

If you are asking whether Crimson Desert supports the newest major upscaling options on PC, the answer is yes.

Pearl Abyss explicitly lists:

• DLSS 4 and DLSS 4.5
• FSR 3 and FSR 4
• DLSS Ray Reconstruction
• FSR Ray Regeneration

It also says frame generation is supported on PC/Mac, not on console.

What this support list actually means

This is a feature-availability answer, not a universal best-settings answer.

The FAQ confirms the rendering stack is there. It does not promise:

• identical results on every GPU
• perfect stability in every scene
• that one mode is best for every player

That distinction matters because the live Known Issues page still lists:

• flickering in some upscaling scenarios
• rough textures or visual noise in certain cases
• frame drops after repeatedly changing Ray Reconstruction and DLSS
• the separate FSR4 rainy-scene issue

DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4 are not the same support question as patches

This article is intentionally different from the site's older patch-based upscaling coverage.

The existing patch posts answer:

• what changed in a specific update
• what hotfix 1.01.02 improved on Steam

This page answers a different search intent:

• whether the game officially supports DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4 at all
• which related ray features Pearl Abyss lists right now

What to watch out for even if your GPU supports these features

Support is not the end of troubleshooting.

Pearl Abyss still recommends:

• AMD 25.9.2 or above
• NVIDIA 581.29 or above

And the March 31 Known Issues page still warns that:

• repeatedly changing Ray Reconstruction and DLSS can trigger frame drops
• FSR4 can still misbehave in rainy scenes

So the support stack is official, but the live caveats are official too.

PC players should separate three different questions

When people search this topic, they usually mean one of three things:

1. Does the game support these features?
2. Are they recommended on my hardware?
3. Are the current bugs fixed?

The answers are:

1. Yes, officially supported on PC.
2. Maybe, depending on your GPU, driver state, and real base FPS.
3. Not completely, because some related issues remain on the official live notice.
