Crimson Desert Runs Better on Linux Than Windows 11

Exciting news for PC gamers waiting for Crimson Desert. Recent benchmarks show that the game actually performs better on CachyOS, a Linux based system, than it does on Windows 11. Testing at 1080p with Ultra settings, the game hit an average of 63 FPS on Linux compared to just 59 FPS on Windows.

It is not just the average frame rates that look better. The 1% low frame rates also improved, moving from 48 FPS on Windows to 50 FPS on CachyOS. These results are impressive because the test was done without any upscaling technology, proving that the underlying system can make a big difference in how the game feels.

This is a great sign for the community, especially for those who prefer using Linux. If these performance gains hold up when the game finally launches, players with high end setups can expect a very smooth experience. We will be keeping a close watch on how the game optimization changes as we get closer to the release date.
