Hello everyone, I just bought this new PC a week ago and now only when playing Red Dead Redemption 2 do I get that red flickering problem. It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes it comes on for a few minutes while I play long hours of the game. I played Mafia 1: DE before and had no issues there, so I don't think it's about my graphics card or overheating, maybe it's just my settings? I watched too many videos trying to optimize RDR2 settings but I still can't figure out why this happens on my PC. My computer has these specs: Motherboard is a Gigabyte H510M H board, CPU is an Intel Core i5-11400F running at 2.6GHz speed, RAM is TeamGroup DDR4 3200MHz Elite, and I have an Asus GeForce RTX 2060 with 12GB graphics power. My storage comes in from Apacer as a 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD, and the power supply is Cooler Master's 700W MWE 700 WHITE unit. Here is a link to a video I found about this issue.

I didn't see any red flickering on my video, even though some of your settings might be too high. I used Digital Foundry's graphics guide for this game. My GTX 1080 is almost the same performance as your 2060, just a tiny bit better, and it's been a while since I played that game so I'm pretty sure you have higher settings than mine.
