All the settings were tested by HARDWARE UNBOXED.
I made a few adjustments myself and it works great for INTEL + NVIDIA setup( VULKAN trashed fps with gtx 1070)
Or maybe you do, but want a smotth experience @ 4K
With these settings i can run rdr2 with 62 avg fps, it pretty much never dips below 50.
on my old laptop, when im not at home -
i7 6700HQ?desktop cpu alternative would be like I7 3770.
16gb dual channel ddr4 2400mhz ram
gtx 1070m 8bg vram.
settings:
texture quality- ultra
AF- 16x
lighting quality- medium
global illumination - high
shadow quality - high
far shadow quality - high
ssao - ultra
reflections - medium
mirror quality - ultra
water - medium
volumetrics - medium
paticles - ultra
tesselation - ultra
TAA - medium
FXAA - on(this my own adjustment, will explain why)
MSAA - off
near volumetric - low
far volumetric - medium
volumetric lighting - high
unlocked volumetric raymarch resolution - on
particle lighting - medium
soft shadows - high
grass shadows - medium
long shadows - on
full resolution ssao - off
water refraction - medium
water reflection - high
water physics - half
TAA sharpening(dont use the in game one)
motion blur(personal preference)
reflection msaa- 2x
geometry level of detail - 3/5
grass level of detail - 4/10
tree quality - high
parallax occlusion mapping - ultra
decal quality - ultra
Fur quality - high
if you are running nvidia graphics card - DON NOT USE VULKAN, DX12 only.
+go to you nvidia control panel ->manage 3 settings->program settings, add RDR2
set image sharpening to 0.40 and film grain 0.17, this will remove jaggy antialiasing along edgdes of objects.
just make seure you enable fxaa in game, alongside with TAA.
Name; lost soul in a fish bowl is obviously reference to pink floyd song Wish you were here cuz there are lyrics that go Just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year.
And the picture is album cover photo of grinderman 2 which is an album of an awesome band called Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (well grinderman 1 and 2 are under nick cave label as solo work sorta but most of band was involved in the process and they removed "& the bad seeds" for band title for those two albums mostly cuz they were pretty different from rest of discography I think)
Wanted to make name and/or pfp a reference to my fav music genre, post rock, but it's very underground so no one would get any band, album or song references except maybe a person or two if I straight up just copied the name of some band/album/song or just replaced/added/removed a letter or two; which is far lazier and less neat imo then this.
Edit I forgot to mention: soft shadows dont looked dotted on ultra if your rig can handle it.
some folks said to try reshades but i havent gotten to that yet
2k? whats 2k? im playing at 1080p? is that called 1k or 2k? i used to get 60fps outside of towns and 50fps in big cities with these settings at 1080p. Did they ♥♥♥ up the optimization via updates?
Just wanted to pop in and say thanks!! Although I use Vulkan instead (DX12 causes shimmering around the character, lack of face details, and other oddities on my end), these settings finally got me to 60FPS at 1080p.
Using an i7-4790, GTX 1080 FTW, and 2x8GB DDR3-1600 @ CL11 on an ASUS H97-PLUS mobo. Using a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB for game storage. Somehow this even brought the temps down on the aforementioned NVME SSD (which does not have a heatsink, and due to my motherboard is limited to 850MB/s). They were reaching up to around 65-70C, now they're back to a much less worrisome 50-55C, with my CPU and GPU temps maxing out around 60-65C as well. Mind you, I'm using a very old custom gaming case which has a spot for a side panel case fan directed at the GPU - but with my recent CPU cooler upgrade I can't utilize it. I only have a bottom front 120mm case fan and a 92mm exhaust fan lol. This also leaves me a little wiggle room for other settings since I have a 1080 and temps are nominal. But it looks and plays fantastic as is now!
And thanks to the OP for sharing graphics settings as well! I would have never gotten this game looking nice without overheating with all the settings involved.
you're very welcome. i rly liked the game and wanted to play it at semi stable 6'fps witohut it lookin like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ so i spent weeks watching every gudie, video and forum post about optimization and then i played with game settings for days on end.
Finally this seemed like best compromise. Managed to get 60fps in nature and game looking good (apart from some aa blurriness on certain things at certain distances)
altho in town it often dropped by 2-13 frames every few seconds but was sitll above 50fps most of time so it wasn't too noticable.
I actually also got a gtx 1080 now instead of 1070. Altho it doesn't boost my frames too much since it's only slightly better card but mostly cuz my cpu is old so it bottlenecks somewhat sometimes.
I also had high af temps but later on i realised ive been playing for years with faulty fan. i immidietly got a new one and now temps never go above 70C on neither gpu or cpu whereas before i was reaching near 90C in some game.
Didn't play the game for ages but might jump back in. Hopefully I remember what happened in first few acts.
anyhow. you're quite welcome. I'm very glad it was of help.
