Red Dead Redemption 2 (Adjustment Settings)
Red Dead Redemption 2 (Adjustment Settings)
Hey everyone,
Hope you're all well.
I wanted to ask for your advice since I've been adjusting the RDR2 graphics settings after updating the NVIDIA driver and Rockstar Social Club.
I can set everything to maximum except for resolution scaling, but to get more scaling I have to lower MSAA to half.
As I increased the resolution scaling, my frame rate dropped to around 28 or 29 frames per second, sometimes even 35.
I've also seen some crash reports.
I followed a few Rockstar steps, like deleting local files from the account info, but it still crashes occasionally when I change settings.
Could you help me find the best settings? I can adjust them manually.
Thanks a lot,
Ayush
Why are you attempting maximum resolution scaling? You could leave it at 100 to ensure it renders at your native resolution. I think MSAA already handles upscaling as part of its AA process, which is why it can be quite demanding on systems—so you're essentially trying to achieve the same result twice.
I want to thank you for showing interest in my section. I might be mistaken often, but I just want to know the facts. Let's look at them. According to me, if both aim for the same goal, adding a resolution scaling option makes sense—it can be adjusted manually. I might be mistaken, but I've noticed better graphics when resolution scaling is increased, though performance drops. I'm still confused.
Some people may prefer how MSAA looks, others may want to increase resolution scaling, others may leave both off and use DSR to render at a higher resolution in the first place.
And ofc you saw an improvement in graphics, you're literally rendering the game at a much higher resolution. 4K Ultra 200% render scale in Destiny 2 looks quite nice, but I also get like 12-15fps with a Radeon VII so it's kinda of not feasible. There's always a tradeoff, the tradeoff for resolution scaling is that there is a
massive
performance hit because you're actually running the game at a higher res and then downscaling.
Choose the version that appears most appealing while maintaining the lowest impact on frame rate.
I don't play RDR2. For other games I leave render scale unchanged and use MSAA/SMAA or similar anti-aliasing methods, only adjusting it for screenshots and then returning it to normal afterward.
