Same thing happens with Final Fantasy XV. It feels like game animations are not designed for higher framerates. I don't know what this is (missing keyframes??) but i notice this.
Red Dead Redemption II PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
9900K/2080 Ti FE
3440x1440 Ultrawide
All settings individually set to Ultra, as using only the slider doesn't really set everything to Ultra. MSAA off
DX12 and Vulkan both resulted in an average of 60 FPS on benchmark.
Playing using DX12, getting 60+ most of the time but it can dip as low as 40.
Hopefully we'll have an analysis with the most taxing settings soon. I'm sure there are a few that make a negligible visual difference but yield a good performance boost.

Why not lock it to 30fps on your PC and see how the animations compare to 60fps, and then compare to PS4 at the same framerate.
Easiest one will always be volumetric lighting, you'll probably save yourself 10 FPS there alone if you turn it down a bit.
I had many of the same problems as most trying to launch the game. Disabling the antivirus did the trick there. I feel like there are certain graphics adjustments that require a restart but it doesn't tell. Some it does but others it doesn't.
I have a 8700k and 1080ti and I have ultra on some thing and high on others. Lowering the volumetric things made a huge difference and the water. I'm hovering around 60 fps on 1440p.
All that said this is a disastrous launch just based on all the problems people are having. Even though I haven't had as many I attribute that to my knowhow. Someone less comfortable troubleshooting would be having a nightmare. They should be embarrassed and highly focused on fixing this mess.

For sure. How in the hell has this game been in development more than a few months to release in this state?
Not sure when I'll get the chance to try it, but looks like any dreams of 4k60 are shot even on a 2080 Ti without really having to tone stuff down.
Hopefully my 7700k doesn't bottleneck me too much. If I can get a locked 60 at 3440x1440 I'll be happy, but did want to try hit 4K60 on my OLED just to be wowed for a while.

The game seems to be running pretty well for me. With the following settings:
Vulkan renderer
Running at ~1527p (in-game res set to 4K with res slider set to 50%)
Mix of mostly Ultra and some High settings
Maxed TAA and no FXAA or MSAA
I got a 99.9% stable 60 fps with consistent frametimes through the first hour. This is with a 2080ti and 8700k @ 4.4, installed on a Sata SSD, and a 60 Hz cap set in RTSS

Just out of interest, can I ask what you're cooling your 9900k with? Is that an all core 5GHz OC?
It doesn't help that most of the benchmarks I've seen people expect to run this game with 8X MSAA at 4k....
i5-4690; GTX 970; 16GB DDR3; SSD
DX12; 2560:1080; Medium-High ~40-60fps
Textures at "High" but there must be a streaming issue. They look too low.
Other than that, I have some weird lighting/particle issue. No idea what the reason is.

So, I tinkered around a bit with the graphics options, pulled back the custom settings switch towards a performance setting... after confirming the screen went black. Signal from the game never came back since then. I restarted the PC, everythings fine; I start the game, black screen.
Anyone else experiencing this?

When I saw the recommended specs, I thought I was good to go with my 1070. From the replies in this thread, looks like I'm better off sticking with the PS4 Pro version if 60 fps is so tough to achieve
Whelp that's my experience now too. Was great at the settings I mentioned earlier, and even fast traveling to a new free roam area doesn't clear my tanked frames. Still sitting at 20 FPS. Time to go try / play story mode then I guess until this gets sorted.
Bit of both, but people being surprised about ultra being demanding is just silly.
A little bit of both maybe? It's no doubt this game looks incredible and has a lot going on under the hood. As time goes on they will probably make more optimizations.
how much were you going to spend on that? I've been looking for a laptop to play on the go and I figure with those specs, it'll run around 1500. Have you found any good deals?
Ok, after tinkering with the options for the past 1.5 hours, this is what I've settled on. Not as extensive testing as I would have liked due to having to restart the game every time I want to run the benchmark tool.
Specs: Core i7-9700K, GTX 1070, 16 GB RAM, NVMe SSD
Settings: Maxed preset, Vulkan, 1440p
Average FPS: 31
I've decided to just put it on the max preset because the difference between that and the default medium preset is only about 12 fps with this resolution and graphics card. I just can't seem to hit a consistent 60 fps, so I might as well target 30 fps. I'm happy to say that 30 fps is pretty achievable even at the highest preset settings.
Now, small caveat: this is just with the benchmarking tool. I'm about to jump into the actual story mode now!

It's gonna cost me 1860€ and that's because I get lower taxes in the canary islands compared to mainland spain (it's deducted on checkout), regular price with regular taxes is 2099€. It's MSI.
I switched back to 3840x2160 with mostly the balanced low/medium/high settings and 2 or 3 settings bumped up. Runs pretty stable at 60 fps and looks pretty amazing.
And I really prefer this over 1440p on ultra. Damn TAA blurs the image a lot more at 1440p than I thought at first. Maybe I try to fiddle with nvidia sharpening but for now I don't wanna go back to 1440p. And MSAA is out of question due to the perfomance hit.

This is really the first time my 1080ti has felt completely outclassed...
They just released a small patch but it doesn't seem to help anything. Still crashes the same way.
I'm still completely unable to launch the game. Followed ever suggestion in their support article. Just completely wiped my graphics driver using DDU and reinstalled, completely uninstalled and redownloaded the entire 109 GB game. No luck. Same Rockstar Games Launcher exited unexpectedly error that is bombarding their twitter account. I guess I just wait for them to do something about it.
I await DF's verdict on figuring out what settings the consoles most likely match, then il benchmark the game using them to see just how much better it would run all things being equal.

There is a difference between that and this thing, right now, being broken in multiple different ways.
Do you have any overlays running? Discord, RTSS, Xbox game bar? Any antivirus?
Same I've done everything possible too. It's really stupid. Even if there was a workaround that worked this is ridiculous to have to deal with. My PC is very capable and has zero problems with anything else.
I suggest (for the time being) you leave the advanced graphical options alone and set them to locked. Something in there is a performance killer and probably supposed to be used with next gen GPUs.
[1440p, 2080Ti]
Everything maxed out, but advanced options locked [but for MSAA]= 55 fps
Everything maxed out + advanced options maxed oput [but for MSAA] = 42fps

first thing I did was shutdown RTSS and discord and disabled the nvidia overlay. disabled antivirus. Nothing.
