Crimson Desert was a hotly-anticipated brand new IP prior to its official launch earlier this month, with the ambitious open-world title garnering a ton of attention thanks to its pretty visuals, freeform gameplay and player agency.

DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
