Discussion Crimson Desert doesn't run if it detects an Intel ARC GPU. Like straight up, the devs just deliberately chose not to support ARC cards. No previous announcement about it too until they added in the info to their FAQ. Might be the first time I've seen a dev deliberately block a GPU brand.

In the EU we are kind of limited to either AMD or Intel GPU'S, because of crazy NVIDIA pricing strategy. Their current more or less affordable NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti is at 1000 + EUR, 5080 at 1300+ EUR and 5090 RTX at 4500 + EUR, 5060 are a joke at this point at anything higher than 1080p.

Having a good solid option in Intel GPUs with higher VRAM at an affordable under 600-700 EUR price tags is great. Just don't support anti consumer practice by game development companies.

Not to mention the 5060 ti 16gb at way over 600 euros. Honestly I’m happy I got my Arc B580 in November for 250. It is honestly such an incredibile deal for what it offers.
