PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2
So far everything checks out, the optimization wasn't great yesterday. They apparently made some updates about an hour ago that improved performance a bit, but we'll have to wait until after work tonight to test it fully. On my usual setup, I'm seeing around 80 frames per second with a blend of High and Ultra modes at 1440p. Towns and wooded areas are typically around 55 to 60fps. I haven't noticed anything below 55fps when using Ultra/High and Vulkan together; most runs stay between 76 to 80fps. When it drops to 55 to 60fps, it remains smooth and playable without any noticeable stutter or crashes. This game is definitely a power-hungry one.
I mentioned not playing it today since they released a patch, so my opinion isn’t current. Earlier, before the update, it was clearly the most visually intense game I’d experienced. I’m comfortable with Metro Exodus, Crysis 3, and The Witcher 3 at high resolutions and stable performance, often exceeding 100fps with little to no lag. On the new COD version, I’m seeing 160–180fps under max settings, with a smoother frame rate around 80fps on average and occasional minor stutters that barely stand out. There are numerous graphics options, and fine-tuning will be needed to maintain detail and speed. Once I test it after the patch, I’ll share the results. Until then, it’s been my most demanding game on the system. This title truly embodies the idea that if you can handle this, you can tackle anything else.
Thank you for your interest in my section. Your perspective is really appreciated. I just realized you're a computer technician—great! It's nice to know you're doing what you love. Few people have the chance to pursue their passions like this. I feel very fortunate if I can get your guidance. The main concern is that if this game doesn't support NV link, it could affect my performance. Please help fix this (by making some adjustments), and thank you again, Ayush.
Thanks! The game doesn't seem to need more than one GPU, so it might run fine even without it. But since it hasn't been tested yet, I'm not sure. I don't have another GPU available for checking.
