Red Dead Redemption 2 PC Requirements ultra Reddit

Ultra is out of the question which is fine because ultra is not needed in the game. Many settings on ultra are indistinguishable from medium and high unless you took screenshots and magnified them like Digital Foundry does when they compare console versions of games. The only for sure setting required at ultra is texture quality.

Of GPUs right now, you'd need the 2080 Ti to get 60fps with optimized settings but if you can wait it out until the fall, the new gen of GPUs are expected to be out and you'll be able to get it with a non flagship then. The new flagships might get 60fps on the ultra preset too.

I play at 4k/60 and I have a 2080 Ti and my CPU is an i7 5820k, which I plan to upgrade from later this year though it does the job now. Again, I use optimized settings and short of lighting quality set to high or ultra at night in towns, I don't notice any difference compared to running at an all ultra or all high/ultra mix.

Reflection quality is another with window reflections looking great on ultra vs medium but I don't stand and stare at windows so it's not worth the big performance hit it brings. Even when not looking at windows, the reflection quality setting is a performance hog as it does some weird stuff with reflections off other surfaces like wood and mud. Can't see any visible difference though with it at high/ultra and medium (I spent quite a while comparing back in November) on these non window surfaces.

I use a tweaked version of the settings Hardware Unboxed came up with in November and RDR2 at 4k is the most beautiful looking game I have ever seen or played, often looking photorealistic. I've put in over 500 hours into the PC version and I'm still blown away by how good it looks. I also have it on PS4 Pro which I got back in 2018 and the PC version at 4k utterly destroys it.

Here is a spreadsheet someone made then that shows them as well as Digital Foundry's settings to try and match as close as possible to the One X which would look worse than on PC since some of the settings on console are lower than PC low.

If you're getting that big amount of cash where money isn't really an object, I'd recommend getting an OLED tv to play it on. I game on my 65" LG C8 and it's the only way I would ever want to game. Contrast ratio is king and regular monitors can't come close to providing the same type of image quality an OLED TV or even good quality full array local dimming LCD can. The 9 series and now 10/X series of LG OLEDs have built in g-sync ability, HDMI 2.1 (giving the ability for 4k/120hz), low input lag, and other goodies too. Some will go on about burn-in with OLEDs but I've got something like 6000 hours on mine and no issues. Basically have to abuse the TV to get burn-in.

I'm sorry but I'm getting tired of hearing this. Btw, I'm playing the game on all ultra settings at 60 fps (save for MSAA and motion blur off).

The game is pretty, the game is gorgeous, hell it's one of the best looking games out there. But it's blatantly not some "future-proofed" game a-la Crysis.

If there's one thing RDR2 exceeds exceptionally well would be the atmospheric effects (and some animations). The fog, mist, skybox, and somewhat of the lighting are baffling. But the game doesn't actually do anything special anywhere else. We've had games like Mankind Divided, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Battlefield V which have done a far better job at blowing me away.

Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't use its tech for anything fancy outside of fidelity (compared to Hitman's crowd sizes, for example). The hair, rain, shadows, destructibility, and so much more are subpar. The game doesn't even have raytracing, the one thing people are raving about as "Future tech". The game is also abysmal in many areas, not just in terms of optimization but especially in anti-aliasing. Never had I played a game with not only the worst implementation of TAA I've ever seen (which is a low bar in itself), but also an incredibly painful implementation of SMAA, and downright broken FXAA. Even Rockstar's past games have exceeded RDR 2 in many respects. GTA4's procedural animation, LA Noir's face tech (I know, not developed by R*), Max Payne 3's fluidity.

It's subjective, but I don't think it's the best looking game this generation. It rarely does anything exceedingly brilliant. Just a lot of things great delivered in a high-budget package that's trying very hard to be a movie. it's a game that's perfectly fitting for being late current gen, not something that will hold some test of time like Crysis, simply because it's already on par, or even behind, on so many levels compared to games that are out now.

I have 16GB of RAM and a ~six years old nvidia graphics card (don’t remember exactly which one, it was given to me) and the textures and stuff look really bad. Most graphics settings are stuck on low and I can’t change them because my system doesn’t support them apparently. Any recommendations to upgrade my pc so that the game runs smoothly with decent graphics?
