Is it possible to play Red Dead Redemption 2 on an i5-2400 processor?
This functioned effectively with my home PC, a customized small-form factor HP unit featuring a secondary power supply, an HD-4870 graphics card, a 32-inch 720p LCD television, an i5-2500 processor, and Windows 7 x64.
I discovered that consistently setting the i5-2500 to its maximum 3.4GHz Four Core Intel Turbo Boost speed proved beneficial. It also prevented the recent "Plundervolt" vulnerability from impeding CPU performance and subsequently causing antivirus software and other processes to operate on slower cores, as well as avoiding Blue Screen of Death errors if sufficient voltage reduction occurred. (This occurred three times before I resolved it.)

ThrottleStop 9.7.3 Download
ThrottleStop is a compact program designed to detect and rectify the three primary types of CPU throttling prevalent in many laptops.

Your graphics card should be adequate, however, in 2020 I wouldn't recommend spending your money on an RX 570 unless you could find one for $60 or $70. A GTX 1650 Super or RX 5500XT offer significantly better deals at the $150 price point.
affirmative, it’s seventy euros secondhand; I primarily use this PC for FIFA, though I would also enjoy playing Red Dead Redemption 2.
This is unacceptable. The computer version is a seriously flawed release, and Rockstar doesn’t seem concerned about resolving the numerous issues.
It's unplayable even with an I5-7600K processor; you won’t have any luck with an I5-2400.

My garage PC, a customized SFF HP with a dual power supply, HD-4870 graphics card, 32" 720p LCD TV, i5-2500 processor, and Windows 7 x64, functions effectively. I’ve found that consistently running the i5-2500 at its maximum 3.4GHz Four Core Intel Turbo Boost speed is beneficial. It also prevents the latest “Plundervolt” exploit from causing CPU slowdowns and affecting antivirus software performance, as well as avoiding BSOD crashes when voltage drops occur. (This issue was resolved after investigation.)
Resources like ThrottleStop 9.7.3 (available at techpowerup.com) are useful. Creating a startup shortcut and placing it in the Start\All Programs\Startup folder ensures it runs automatically. CPU-Z allows monitoring core speeds, and the “ThrottleStop Guide (2021): How to Lower Temperatures, Increase Performance and Boost Battery Life” (ultrabookreview.com) provides instructions for temperature reduction, performance enhancement, and battery life optimization using ThrottleStop. Realtemp is another compatible program; a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW35quZWzBU) demonstrates its use with CPU-Z, showing how throttling reduces core speeds to 798MHz without it.
The i5-2400 can operate at 3.2GHz efficiently; an extra 100MHz is advantageous on a locked motherboard and processor. Benchmarks at 9:58 of this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD3xd1qGcfo) showcase 1080p performance. Cards like Vega 56, RX5700, GTX1660ti, and RTX 2060 super are now outperforming my GTX970 OC. The game tends to favor newer AMD GPUs; the RX580 performs well among less expensive options.
Furthermore, benchmarks indicate that the game’s scaling is limited with Intel CPUs above four cores. Rockstar’s specifications suggest an i5-2500K is comparable to an FX6300 CPU. I play Call of Juarez: Gunslinger and its sequel, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, with a playable demo available on Steam.
**Rewritten Text:**
The original text discusses the performance of a PC game, likely *Grand Theft Auto V*, and whether it runs well on computers with quad-core CPUs like an i5 processor. The author notes that the game had significant stuttering issues upon release in November but has since been patched extensively by Rockstar Games. They argue that a modern i5 processor should be sufficient to play the game smoothly, especially considering the game's age (released nine years ago), provided users don’t have overly high expectations for such an older CPU. The patches have addressed many of the initial performance issues.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, focusing on clarity and conciseness:
“The game continues to experience issues for many players, despite recent patches. A significant number of users report crashes and stuttering, particularly when achieving high frame rates (over 140fps). The RAGE engine, which is over 13 years old, appears to be a contributing factor. While some players experienced improvements in January, widespread problems persist. Due to the diverse range of hardware configurations, it’s proving difficult to resolve all issues. Steam reviews reflect ongoing dissatisfaction and continued instability.”
