This game is a little fishy but can run well with the right settings.

There's a bunch of vids.

Next month my cpu/mobo/ddr3 will be 13 years old. I play all games just fine with dlss+framegen. This game doesn't have framegen. Kind of need it for this cpu i7 2600k. So instead i have to find settings that affect cpu and lower them and sure gpu settings that can save me watts using my rtx4080, This is the best video i've found. Check my profile for rig info

I run at 2560x1440 DLSS Quality. Most settings are Ultra. But there are some settings off some High depending on that guys results. Biggest one for cpu is probably water physics 2/4. I kept Geometric LOD at 5/5 even though it is heavy on the cpu. I may change that to 3/5 later if needed. The rest don't effect cpu greatly like the other 2. I have Grass LOD 8/10. Reflection msaa Off, motion Off, unlocked volumetric Raymarched Res Off, Tree Tessellation Off. My Results below;

Guess i should actually start playing the game.

Not as old but I have similar older mobo combo. Is upgrading to newer gpu for dlss worth it in your eyes? I've been thinking of a new gpu and another 16gb of ram and I should be good for another 5 years at least lol.

I looked at building a whole new rig which wasn't that expensive I just don't feel I really need it or want to build one at this time.

YE24, Ya i'm actually quite shocked how well my system still handles games like cp2077, Starfield, BG3, Hogwarts. But all had framegen. Without it the games aren't really playable. So i'd say this RTX4080 has been way better then expected. If you can afford it get at least a 4080. At 1,400 bones hard to say if it's worth it for everyone. I have cash so for me well worth it. Best vid card i've ever owned and been gaming since the atari 2600.

I bought components to build a new rig about a year ago. cpu/mobo/ram/new case and psu and gpu. The last 2 which i'm using now. I just haven't bothered finishing the build since all games running fine. I'm lazy and still need hard water tubing and fittings for the water cooling. I still used 16gb of ddr3 and that's still plenty for gaming. Sounds like a RTX4080 just the thing you need. And note it must be a 4xxx gpu for dlss framegen.

So my 1st nite of playing. Just got finished hunting. Game plays real smooth. Think i'll be turning some settings back up.

I was thinking more 4060 for $300. It's got DLSS and I think that's all I really need.

Can I see your SYSTEM.XML file that has your RDR2 graphics settings?

Along with your AMD Adrenaline Settings in Windows?

First thing to try would be disable VSync everywhere; in the AMD settings, in-game as well. Leave the Triple Buffering On though. Set the game to Borderless Window, not Full Screen. If you have multiple refresh rates available, set the highest available in Windows for OS Desktop. Games will use that automatically when set to Borderless Window.

I'm done with the xx60s or under. They just don't perform well. They're 1080p cards. Minimum i'd ever go is xx70. But if money is an issue do as you must. Can't fault someone for that.

For RDR2, even at 1440p I had no FPS problems with all the settings on High, Textures on Ultra, MSAA X4 and Upscaling @ 1.50X

Nice and crisp; no FSR or DLSS BS. And that was on a 3080 10GB

And that's a 3080 which is still an outstanding gpu. Previous gens are usually old xx80=new xx70. old xx70=new xx60 and so on. It's never exact but usually fairly close to that. The only real exception now is the curve ball that framegen throws into the mix. For now only a 4xxx gpu can do it. Technically a 2xxx or 3xxx can do it. So maybe we'll see that some day. Until then if a game you're playing is limited by your old cpu then old xx80=new xx60 or ???. It kinda upsets what was for many years and really depends on how old the cpu is and how demanding the game is on the cpu. That and the game needs to support Framegen and this game does not sadly. FSR Framegen finally released to public. Radeon and Nvidia can both use that. Wonder if or how long til we see that for this game.
