Crimson Desert Demonstrates Deep RTGI and Open-World Scale with BlackSpace
Digital Foundry’s first look at Crimson Desert showcases the BlackSpace Engine’s per-pixel ray-traced global illumination, RT reflections, and systemic water across a vast open world, running native 4K at Ultra on a Ryzen 9 7900X3D + RX 7900 XTX with impressive performance and no frame generation in the footage. The engine aims for high-end visuals with robust draw distances and dynamic weather, while also supporting FSR Redstone (and Nvidia upscalers) to broaden hardware compatibility; the result is cohesive, scalable lighting that, on current hardware, can rival UE5’s Lumen in quality.
