I Tested Crimson Desert on Every Recommended Graphics Card

Developers have increasingly used upscaling technologies like Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR in PC gaming, but Crimson Desert has reasonable system requirements and does not always rely on upscaling. Testing showed that while lower-end graphics cards struggle, enabling FSR can improve frame rates significantly. The minimum specification for Crimson Desert includes an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, and the game requires 16GB of memory across all configurations. The game performs well on various hardware, with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT averaging 65 fps at Medium settings and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT reaching 62 fps at Ultra in native 4K. The RTX 5090 achieved 95 fps at 4K without DLSS, and 338 fps with DLSS and Frame Generation. Crimson Desert is compatible with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X, which has similar requirements to the GTX 1060, and it performs well on this handheld device. The game is noted for its optimization, allowing most modern graphics cards to run it effectively without upscaling, although it does have some bugs.

It looks like those rumors of ChatGPT adding Sora integration were right

OpenAI's Sora app, launched last year, allows users to create entertaining videos. The Sora 2 model has been noted for its content generation capabilities, though it has faced criticism for relying on existing material. Reports indicate that OpenAI is considering integrating Sora's video creation functionalities into ChatGPT. The latest beta version of ChatGPT (1.2026.076 for Android) includes new code snippets suggesting potential video generation features, such as transforming text and images into videos with dialogue, soundtrack, and style. While the name "Sora" is not mentioned, the context implies that these generative video tools may come from Sora's technology. The timeline for launching these features is uncertain, but ongoing development suggests that integration could enhance the ChatGPT experience. An APK teardown can reveal insights into future features, although not all predicted functionalities may be included in the final release.

The game is currently priced at .24, reflecting a 75% discount from its usual price.

Pragmata’s devs urge players to test out the demo beforehand to figure out whether controller or mouse and keyboard is best for them: ‘There are some people who find keyboard and mouse too tricky’

Joining PC Gamer led to a significant change in gaming habits, including the destruction of a PS5 and Switch, while controllers remain useful for certain games. Controllers are essential for titles like FromSoftware games, the Resident Evil series, and others, enhancing the gameplay experience. Director Cho Yonghee emphasized the careful design of control schemes for different platforms, noting that hacking mechanics in Pragmata are more fluid with a controller compared to a mouse. The free Pragmata sketchbook demo serves as a tutorial for essential skills and allows players to experiment with both control schemes. Yonghee acknowledged that preferences vary between players, and both control methods have been optimized for a great experience. Mastering controls is crucial for effectively navigating and combating AI-controlled adversaries in Pragmata.
