Crimson Desert Ray Regeneration Mod Hits AMD Radeon Cards

Exciting news for fans of Crimson Desert who use AMD hardware. A new proof of concept modification now allows players to test out Ray Regeneration 1.2 on AMD Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards. This project comes from a dedicated fan who wanted to bring this tech to the RDNA 3 architecture.

To make this work, the modification changes the original model from FP8 computations to FP16 precision. This bypasses the need for specific instruction handling, which was previously a barrier for AMD users. It is a creative workaround for those who love tinkering with their settings.

However, it is important to note that this comes with a significant trade off. Early tests show that the frame rate drops by nearly half when the mod is active. While it is a great step forward for accessibility, players should prepare for a noticeable hit to their smoothness while playing.

For now, this remains a work in progress for enthusiasts who want to see how the technology handles different hardware. We will keep an eye on any future updates to see if the performance can be improved as this project continues to develop.
