optimization

[Eisenhorn]

Is the game well optimized now?

I have an i7 4770K, GTX 1080 8 gb and 16gb of RAM.

By well optimized I mean 60fps as bare minimum.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
UPDATE: I've bought the game in the end and I'm 20 hours in and I got no problems.

I'm running all at high using direct x12 without touching the locked settings except switching from vulkan to direct x12 cause vulkan stutters a bit, it does that to almost every game in my case.

My frame rate is 60 fps with some dipping in the 55-50.
Overall I'm satisfied as the game looks really good, unlike some other games that came out later having bad performance for no reason.

I'm just leaving this here in case it can help someone, thanks to all for the answers.

Can I run it has a site you can check.

[Walter "Heisenberg" White]

Youll be able to reach 60fps on med-high easily

If it is badly optimized it doesn't mean anything if that site says I can run it, cause that site tells you on paper you will be able to run it, that doesn't mean it will run without stutters or other problems, thanks anyway .

So it just compares the min reqs versus your computers specs ? Numbers only ?

The site doesnt actually test ............... now that im about to type this i realize how stupid it is............... all games against ALL computer configs in actual tests......

1st that woyld be impossible to dooooooooooooooooooooooooooo unless they had a " virtual computer " that transformed into any config imagineable.

Is that even a thing ?

Im gonna check that site and see how they say the test.

Not sure how Can i run it actually does since i wasnt impressed but i plugged your pc into this and it gave these results

This game is extremely well optimized and has a TON of graphics options, including DLSS. On my 2080 Ti it runs flawlessly, and on my old PC with a 1060 6gb it runs great too, just at 1080p instead of 1440p.

My system: Which is not over clocked - the CPU and the GPU run at their default install settings. I have enabled XMP and gaming mode on the MSI mother board which means ALL my games are affected by this.
I have also tried disabling XMP/gaming mode and this does not have any affect on the RDR2 crashes - they occur as frequently with or without these two settings be enabled.

I have dropped all the graphics settings to low or turned off and still crashes occur the same amount and frequency.

i7 8700K
MSI Z370 gaming pro motherboard
32GB Gskill 3200Mhz Ram
MSI 1070 8GB
(many video driver versions over the past year or so)
Samsung 980 pro 2TB SSD (windows)
Samsung EVO 1TB SSD (Linux)

I have tired various resolutions from 1024x768 all the way up to 2K resolutions (I have 3x 2k monitors)

After quite literally a year or so of trying to get this game to work on Windows and Linux both I am ready to give up and never again purchase a Rock Star game so long as I live. I make a lot of money every hour I work, and to think I have wasted weeks (and quite possibly months) on trying to play this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game makes me sick.

ON Windows I have it to the point where I can play it for an hour or two before the inevitable lockup which causes me to have to kill the game and then restart it and all the resulting loss of game play that involves.

I have tried DX and Vulkan - this makes no difference in crash reduction, although DX12 does seem to run the game "smoother" when it isn't busy crashing.

System RAM and CPU usage seem to be fine when the crashing occurs on both OS's - neither one displays abnormal memory or CPU usage before, as it is happening or after the crashing occurs.

I play Assassins Creed: Odyyssey, Borderlands 3, Cyberpunk 2077,Far Cry 5, Primal and 6, The incredible Adventures of Van Helsing on both Windows and Linux with zero issues - as a matter of fact the Far Cry games are faster and look better on Linux.

I play or have played, in Windows and on this system, VR beat saber, BoxVR, Pokerstars VR, Project Cars, VR Moss, Fall OUt 4 VR, Skyrim VR, Arizona Sunshine VR and Half Life -Alyx VR. I have played Arma 3, BioSHock Infinite, Doom, DOom Eternal, Dyng Light, Elden Ring, The elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim, Fallout 4 and 76, Far Cry 3,4,5 primal, New Dawn and 6, F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin, Grand Theft Auto 5, Kingdoms of Amalur the reckoning, Metro 2033 Redux, Metro Exodus, Metro Last Light reduc, Prey, Monster Hunter: Worlds, RAGE, Resident Evil 5/6, Shadow Warrior 2, Sniper Elite 4, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts and 2, Squad, the Hunter: Call of the Wild, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, and a whole lot more.

I listed all this to make a point - the issues with RDR2 are NOT MY COMPUTER OR HARDWARE they are Rock Stars crappy handling of the port to Windows.

Phew - now, all the above being said I go back to fool me once, twice, thrice.

RockStar will need to PROVE to me that they can do this properly if they want any more of my money - if not maybe Rock Star should keep their talent where it belongs - on the console, because so far they have proven to me that they either do not have the interest (or the talent maybe?) in making their games compatible with Windows (forget about Linux). What Rock Star games DOES have though, is an interest in the bonus money they make for a bare minimum effort in porting a console game to Windows and if it works GREAT! if not? Oh well.

SO, I for one person will not waste any more time, effort and money on Rock Star games.

[Symidian]

as an addendum to the above - any idiot can do a google search and see I am not wrong, even if some people CAN run the game with no issues. I am waiting on a i9 13900kf with a 3080-ti graphics card that I ordered form a custom builder for myself for Xmas. When I get it, IF RDR2 runs on it flawlessly I WILL play it, don't get me wrong, the game play I've had I love - it's the constant instability that has driven me to this opinion of Rock Star games.

BUT, this does not change the whole fool me once , twice, thrice login - I STILL will not purchase any more Rockstar games until their ports are proven to be more stable. I DID, however, pay a premium price for RDR2 and will play it IF I CAN.

Optimization or not, the Rockstar launcher is reason why I recommend just skipping buying the cash grab of an game.

Wheres the cash grab ?
Check the reviews dont they tell a different story ? Or are all of those ppl paid shills along with all the independent companies that gave it all the high praise/rewards its gotten ?

[Gamezombie]

Can't play the game even if you own it, because the service sucks and can't even activate it.

No you are just an idiot.
Story and what not is good, sure...
But the game support and anti-consumer s#it makes it total garbage to me.
And I'm not only one having this kind of problem, maybe you are in some kind of matrix, c#ck sucking one.

So you cant play and " I'm " the idiot.................

Your name calling is typical for a 9 yr old so no surprise there. also where you live is telling.

YOU cant do something so its everyone else's fault including mine. Gotcha

Sure ♥♥♥♥♥, you doesn't seem to understand that not every game is perfect.

I have an i5, GTX 1050, and 16 GB of RAM, I can run it fine

I'm not at 60 FPS but it's not laggy and it's definitely playable

Edit:

I should also add that I play on med-high settings with textures on ultra

Is it so hard to google "rdr2 gtx1080" and watch a couple of benchmarks?
