Getting 17 to 20 fps, running rtx 3070ti vram 8gb sys ram 16gb 12th Gen Intel i7-12700H
I tried everything and settings are on medium to low, and still getting 17 to 20 fps during benchmark. gpu and memory is hitting up to 90plus% in task manager. I have tried everything I could think of and tried running dx12 and it locks up, closes and gives me low memory error. in the nvidia graphics its set to run under my nvidia rtx3070 ti and not the integrated. I don't know what else to do. when I do nvidia gefore experience and let it optimize it puts everything on ultra and still doesn't work, makes it even worse.

Download latest Intel GPU Driver.
Download either 522.25 or 531.18 for NVIDIA GPU (Notebook)
Wipe out the Intel GPU and NVIDIA GPU Drivers fully using the DDU app.
In DDU select GPU > Intel > Clean but do not restart.
Then repeat but for NVIDIA.
Restart Windows when both have been wiped.
Run the installer for Intel GPU Driver (UHD Graphics)
Restart Windows when done.
Run the installer for NVIDIA GPU Driver
Restart Windows when done.
Configure NVIDIA Control Panel;
set the preferred GPU to High Performance
set Power Management to Prefer Max Performance
Apply changes.

Now try you game.

To easily go back to the default graphics settings for RDR2, go here and delete SYSTEM.XML
Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings
Delete the other files in that folder as well, as those are for GPU Cache.

When the game loads up, go to Settings > Graphics and just change the following for now.
> Screen Res (set to your native screen res)
> Refresh Rate
> VSync = Off
> Triple Buffering = On
> Constrain Mouse Cursor = Off

Apply Changes.
Try out the game as-is.

Did every bit of what you suggested and getting around 8fps to 9fps. none of it worked. when it is on my second monitor it shows as my gpu, but on my main monitor it shows as the intel gpu, not the nvidia and when its on the second monitor i can't do anything but see the main menu when i click settings or anything i hear it changing over but its frozen on the main menu.

Sounds like the issue is that something is forcing Intel on your main display, and Nvidia for your second. You'll have to give a way to reverse these - perhaps by right clicking on the Desktop and choosing Display Settings, or something in the Nvidia Control Panel. I'd try digging around a bit in those apps for what the default display is set to, and switch it all to your gpu

Google "Optimus switch", depending on your laptop there are different options
