INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
It's no secret that Red Dead Redemption 2 has had a bit of a rocky launch on PC
When the game first hit the streets, it couldn't even run on our test systems, and we weren't the only ones facing this issue
In general, the game is very demanding, and even the most powerful hardware on the market is going to have trouble running the game at a
However, we did see playable performance out of every card in our testing lineup, but anyone looking to rock this game on a high refresh
But just to be thorough we collected seven of the best graphics cards on the market, from the AMD Radeon RX 5700 to the Nvidia GeForce RTX

performanceRed Dead Redemption 2 is a heavy PC game to run, which shouldn't be too terribly surprising
After all, the game made all kinds of headlines upon its console release in 2018 for being one of the most beautiful games ever made, so of
at 4K 60 fps on the highest graphics preset with current hardware, unless of course, you have some exotic setup with 2 RTX 2080 Tis in SLI
2080 Ti averaged just 43 fps at 4K, and only barely managed to break that 60 fps barrier at 1440p with 66 fps
And, if you have budget hardware, you're going to have trouble even at 1080p
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super, which generally is a 1080p champion, struggled at this resolution, getting an average of just 42 fps.One
other thing to be aware of is that the game isn't the smoothest experience on Nvidia hardware
We noticed that even in the canned benchmark, the game would hiccup occasionally, with benchmark scores featuring minimum framerates around
Our first time running the benchmark, the RTX 2080 Ti had a minimum framerate of 0.72 fps
Redemption is a little bit rough, so it may be prudent to wait on buying it for a little while, at least until Rockstar fixes these
run, but the system requirements look pretty reasonable
In fact, we think Rockstar was a little too optimistic when listing these out, as this low-end hardware might have trouble producing a
these system requirements are a little too tame
Team green suggests an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 for 1080p at High settings, and in our testing, that pretty much checks out
So, we went ahead and crafted our own recommended gaming PC specs for Red Dead Redemption, and listed them down below.TheIndianSubcontinent
recommended:OS: Windows 10Processor: Intel Core i5-9600KMemory: 16GBGraphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 5700HDD: 150GBWe went with the Intel Core
i5-9600K because, while the game will pin several cores, we didn't see more than one or two cores hit high usage
That means higher clock speeds will likely benefit performance more
because, generally AMD cards fared better than Nvidia in this title, the AMD Radeon RX 5700 is pretty much the perfect card for this game at
