Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most beautiful game to date. However, it is poorly optimized – not every computer can provide acceptable performance. Here are some tips on how to set up graphics, which you can reduce or disable without sacrificing the picture.

Optimization

It is important to start with the fact that the game does not work well on the computers that meet the system requirements.

In addition, according to NVIDIA, there are no graphics cards that can “pull” Red Dead Redemption 2 to 4K and 60 FPS to date, so you’ll need a computer with the latest version of Windows 10 or Windows 7 SP1, and you’ll also need a large SSD, the booting here is long.

Once installed, the game will take up 112GB. Minimum system requirement. User experience on such a machine is unlikely to be nice – a maximum of 30 FPS in fullHD at minimum settings.

Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX-6300

RAM: 8 GB

Video card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 2 GB or AMD Radeon R9 280 3 GB

Recommended Even if you have such a computer, do not even try to set the settings to “ultra”.

Processor: Intel Core i7-4770K or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X

RAM: 12 GB

Video card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB or AMD Radeon RX 480 4 GB

How can I increase the performance of Red Dead Redemption 2?

The game works slow for everyone. There is nothing you can do about it, you can only hope for the patches. But there are several ways to improve performance.

Most importantly, switch the Vulkan game settings to DirectX12 – in some cases, it can help.
