Question Red Dead Redemption 2 FPS experiences minor stutters on a good computer.
Question Red Dead Redemption 2 FPS experiences minor stutters on a good computer.
Hello,
I recently switched from console to PC for Red Dead Online and have been enjoying the PC version. But lately, I’m not finding it as enjoyable as before. I’m reaching out for advice because my experience is getting worse after several attempts.
When I first start the game online, everything runs smoothly at 1440p with high settings. I’ve adjusted some custom options to aim for around 65-70 frames per second across all areas, even tough spots like Saint Denis and Blackwater. The FPS stays near that target, but constant stuttering ruins the gameplay. The jumpiness in cities is also bothersome.
I looked into possible reasons and found some suggestions—like disabling certain cores. I tried that and reduced my settings to 6 cores, but it didn’t help. I also experimented with changing the API from Vulkan to DirectX12 and adjusting frame limits or settings. Still, nothing seems to fix the issue.
I’m not very tech-savvy, so I’m hoping someone can help me remove these stutters from one of my favorite games. It’s affecting my overall enjoyment.
Thanks a lot!

That's acceptable!
Naturally, I had some reservations about the idea of assembling my very first computer, so I opted to purchase a ready-made unit and selected the components myself.
