Is there a drop in FPS in Red Dead Redemption 2?
I recently purchased a HP Omen 16 Gaming Laptop with specs of Ryzen 7 and an RTX 3070 Ti. When I first bought it, I immediately installed RDR 2 and played it. The FPS was over 85 at 1440p with DLSS off. After chapter 2, during the train catching scene, my FPS dropped below 60, even at normal settings in 1080p. I struggled to understand why this happened only with RDR 2—playing control felt smooth on it, but I achieved 85+ FPS at max settings with DLSS and ray tracing at ultra. Please help me figure this out. I don’t have any bloatware installed and have plenty of free space.
It seems there are several factors at play here. Some areas of the game are more challenging than others. You might want to consider trying the Vulkan API if you haven't already. Your temperatures are normal; both the CPU and GPU will lower their clock speeds to maintain stability. Good luck!
