Red Dead Redemption II PC performance thread

martincrimson87 · Nov 5, 2019

I'd like to know.

GTX 760 performance at base console settings

Rx 580 performance at 4k 30

That way we will see how unoptimized this game is.

SunBroDave · Nov 5, 2019

That feeling when you woke up early to get all of your pre-work rituals out of the way before 8 am, so that you'd have some time to try the game before work...

...only to have it take 30 minutes to decrypt and another 10 to finishing downloading the rest of the files, only to have the game crash at startup.

Any chance a 970 could run this at 30fps on decently high settings? I have 16gb ram and an i5 2500k (lol) OC'd to 4ghz which runs GTA V just fine at high settings.

SirMossyBloke · Nov 5, 2019

Got it to work without HDR, put everything on high and textures on ultra and running the benchmark. Weirdly in the town it looks like all the textures are on low or missing, but the past parts of the benchmark looked fine. I dunno.

Smooth 60fps on a 9900k and gtx1080. However might be due to weird texture issue.

For anyone getting the crash error, it's been suggested turning off anti-virus software could fix it:

Yea that worked for me

How do you turn off HDR?

Sgs2008 · Nov 5, 2019

So setting an internal resolution to 0.875. With most settings maxed except msaa and grass. On a 2080ti and 7700k on a 4knscreen gets me anavergar of 52 fps. Good enough with gsync. Can't rly see the resolution difference too much even sitting right infront of my screen

Eggiem · Nov 5, 2019

Yeah, I guess I will wait for some patches...

Sargerus · Nov 5, 2019

Anyone with a i5-6400 and a 1060 6GB can report performance on 1080p please?

Same, its unplayable like this

I'd hold off for benchmarks right now.

Hooks · Nov 5, 2019

Maybe it's time to upgrade.

GTX 1070
i7 8700k
1440p

I think I fixed it. Need to uncheck the option that says "pause game when it loses focus"....

edit: nope that's not it.

Already on off for me

1080p. I wouldn't dare go higher.

Run it in safe mode after force quitting it

sredgrin · Nov 5, 2019

Bleh, got up early for this, hoping there's a launcher patch while I'm at work, gonna try and take a quick nap and get back a few of those extra hours of sleep.

Everything on Ultra with TAA.

I can't see any resolution listed.

GrrImAFridge · Nov 5, 2019

My benchmark results (1080p + max, save for 8x AF, no FXAA, no MSAA, and no reflection MSAA):

32GB DDR4-3200, i7 8700K @ 4.7GHz, RTX 2080 Ti, 441.12, Win10 x64.

I think the 17fps minimum was a bug. The game abruptly slowed to a crawl during the scene where Arthur robs a store and exits through the back door.

furfoot · Nov 5, 2019

Vulkan yields 15% better performance but introduces pauses of about a second long when asset/texture streaming cant keep up. Game is heavily gpu dependant.

wonzo · Nov 5, 2019

Stock 2080ti & 6700k @ 4.6GHz. 1440p Vulkan with TAA & sans MSAA Reflections with everything else cranked up to max for the hell of it. Benchmark ran real smooth outside of very brief loading drops.

Detail · Nov 5, 2019

Can you toggle off HDR in the game? I have my PC hooked up to my HDR TV and I do not want to run the game in HDR, personally don't like playing games with HDR on PC.

Tahnit · Nov 5, 2019

anyone with a 2080 super in here running 1440p? hows it running ultra?

Coolade · Nov 5, 2019

6700k, 1080ti, 3440x1440, I had to turn everything basically to medium just to stay above 60fps during the intro. And that's after the storm died down.

Coztoomba · Nov 5, 2019

Yeah. I'm getting the same min FPS. I didn't have an overlay on but just eyeballing it, it looked smooth.

I need this information also.

I still get the pausing in DX12 though, unless you have to restart the game for it to actually change?

Needs restart

GasPanic! · Nov 5, 2019

2080 TI OC, 9900K, 32 GB 3200 DDR4
at 1440p
Vulkan

Everything at max settings
volumetric Raymarch off
Triple Buffer on (recommended with VSync?)
TAA high
FXAA off
MSAA off
Reflection MSAA x2

FPS min: 22
FPS max: 210
FPS avg: 77

no drops below 68 FPS during the actual benchmark test.
Runs really smooth and looks suprisingly crips on my 4K Samsung QLED at 1440p. TAA seems to be doing a good job here.
I might take it with these settings. Maybe do some sharpening or play a with the resolution slider.

furfoot · Nov 5, 2019

Slider lowest - 95 average
Balanced middle - 66 average
Max - 50 average

Gtx 1080 dx12 1080p

So plenty of room to tweak just so many settings to try, wheres that nvidia guide when you need it.

Yeah, needs restarting. I'd rather have no stutters than better performance with stutters.

I'll take the hit, it's unplayable using Vulkan right now.

Slackbladder · Nov 5, 2019

Is Vulkan better than DX12? On my 2080ti and i5 [email protected] and 32 GB 3200RAM getting 45 to 55 fps maxed at 3440 x 1440. Set to High and MSAA@x2 it's 60 to 75 fps, sometimes higher. 4K@60fps only possible with medium/high settings.

It truly is, I've quit the game for a bit lol

Gurkenl0rd · Nov 5, 2019

"Crisp" Image? Really? TAA blurrs the game so much.
Comparison(fullscreen ist best to see the difference):

Vanilla

With some lumasharpen reshade shader:

GamingRobioto · Nov 5, 2019

Just been watching a stream, on medium some of the textures look horrendous.

Deleted member 1476 · Nov 5, 2019

The wait for the 3080Ti to be able to play this at 60fps smoothly is going to be a pain.

looks like there is a streaming texture bug

leng jai · Nov 5, 2019

Some of the grass textures look disgusting.

60fps is easily attainable on the current gen cards if you drop down to high.

PlayBee · Nov 5, 2019

I can't get it to run well at higher resolutions. GPU utilization stays low and framerate won't average above 40ish regardless of what I do with the settings and resolution scale. I guess I'll just run it at 1080p max preset.

Also doesn't look too stunning but idk if it's graphical glitches or I was overhyped.

MaxVarEmreis · Nov 5, 2019

This game wreck my 2080Ti on ultra settings (2560x1080 so 1080p in ultrawide).
From benchmark on DX12:
Min: 31
Max: 152
Avg: 72

Blizzard scene is the worse.
It all GPU bound. My 9990K CPU was average on 30% used.

And new nvidia driver add few FPS.

Talus · Nov 5, 2019

Vulkan has been completely smooth for me. Gonna bench both Vulkan and DX12 and compare

Not even during the first snow part? Because I'm getting ~45-48 fps on my 2080Ti there at 1440p.

That texture clearly failed to load.

This port is looking messy.

Yeah, must be. I watch a 5 minute sequence and those rock textures never fully loaded.

furfoot · Nov 5, 2019

Could be hitting 6gb memory limit.

Porcupine · Nov 5, 2019

Normally I get every problem under the sun with games, but it seems this time I got lucky.

9900k, 2080TI playing on a TV with HDR and 4k 60FPS.
I didn't alter any of the settings and its pretty much stable 60FPS, as far as I can tell. Had no problems so far.

TheRed · Nov 5, 2019

Can't even game the game to launch. I'm sad.

dex3108 · Nov 5, 2019

Start game, crash, start game, crash, start game, crash...
