EVGA 2080Ti FTW Hydro copper.
I'm going to try this out on my 1080ti htpc to see if this damn game boots on that.
Anyone else getting it where the game will go to the menus and everything, but if you try to go to the Story or run the benchmarking tool, that it just does nothing but constantly load?
Go into task manager -> rdr2.exe -> affinity and then disable one of your CPU cores. I heard downloading an external program that limits your CPU usage to 98% can fix it too. There seems to be an issue where the game just maxed out at 100% usage and that's when it starts hard pausing.
weird, wouldn't limiting cpu to 98% make the game run worse but still stutter since it thinks its "maxed"?
Not necessarily because you're freeing up resources to the OS.
I had artifacts in the bottom of the screen until I lower some volumetric settings, also I'm on an older driver (436.51) as latest Nvidia's 441.12 causes issues in Forza Horizon 4 which I'm actively playing.
Maybe latest drivers fixes that.
I really wanted to get this day 1, then I remembered the promise I made myself after the GTA V PC launch and decided to wait till the Steam release.
Looks like not much has changed since.

Nobody says console gaming isn't easier, but lets be honest, this is an outlier. Plus, it's not like console is free of buggy games and fucked launches.
Messed with a variety of settings nothing really seems to have a dramatic impact on performance for me switching in the high/ultra range, sitting around mid 40s at worst, low 60s at best. Otherwise it runs pretty smooth, no other issues or performance problems.
GPU is definitely my bottleneck which is surprising as that's my up to date piece of hardware. Barely uses any of the RAM of the 1080ti, but load is at 98%. 5820 hasn't gone past 50% and only using 8 gigs of my 16 RAM and that's with Chrome still open with a bunch of tabs.

In other threads people try to downplay that consoles are simpler compared to PCs. There are always outliers and the outliers add up.
LOL Shroud's game crash while playing dominos. R* please
Been playing for 4 hours or so. The best setting at 4K w/ 2080Ti I found was everything medium except texture at ultra and lighting at high. About 60ish fps sometimes higher. Give that a try and see how you like it.

Thanks for the write up!
Hmmm I think I gonna wait and see what happens when other 1070 folks hit Saint Denis
45 on Medium is probably a better experience than Xbone (I'm very curious to see a comparison), but if the FPS drops get rough in Denis, maybe I'll pass
Reading this thread brings back Bethesda launcher fuckery flashbacks. Fallout 4, 3 and NV won't play on my machine. FO4 launches in windowed mode no matter how much I fuck around with ini files and fixes, while 3 and NV are stuck in a launcher loop where when you click play it relaunches the launcher so they can't even launch.
What the hell, Rockstar.

It defaulted to a balanced graphics mode. Seems to be a mix of med to ultra on everything except low on shadows. Looks really good. I'll probably increase the shadows to see if that causes any problems.

Any 'game performance thread' will illustrate clearly that while console games also suffer from day 1 problems, it's not nearly the same in scope as PC's due in no small part to the nearly endless combinations of hardware/software. Look I'm a 95% PC gamer but let's not kid ourselves, it's just not comparable.
Can somebody explain to me why resolution and output screen options are blocked when using a Vulkan. I can't change them but I want the game to appear on my second screen which is 1680x1050...
DX12 is unplayable for me because right after loading the story mode, when I press the ESC button my whole PC freezes. So I have to use Vulkan

I don't want to mess with any affinity settings so I'll wait for a patch. The pausing is maddening. Is there a verdict on direct x vs Vulcan yet? The game wouldn't boot with direct x for me but I'm wondering if its better?
Can't understand the "shitstorm".
It runs soo good on my 2080ti+6700k.
Waterphsyic to half and volumentric fog to high is most important to set down i think. Rest is more ultra than high, water etc. medium. I'm using DX12.
I'm in chapter 2 now, riding through the nature with 43-50 fps, VRR makes it look smooth.
Looks so much better than on my X1X.

Anyone figure out how to get the launcher to not crash? Sure would like to play my 60 dollar investment.
Same issue here. Reinstalled everything and still doesn't work.
I saw this in the comments on Nvidia''s recommended specs.

I have had ZERO issues thus far. I'm still on the previous Nvidia drivers. I'm running a i9-9900k and GTX1080ti @ 1080p with recommended settings. This puts most settings at a mix of high/ultra, with some advanced settings off. It defaults to Vulkan. Seems locked at 60fps, but I only finished the first major shootout at the Driscoll camp. I'm looking forward to performance once the world opens up. I'm expecting worse performance.
Spent a lot of time with RDR2 today, but not sure I can go on.
The game absolutely hits the bricks on my PC in populated areas like Valentine. At first I thought it was my graphics settings so I tinkered endlessly (runs fine out in the wilderness, bar a hiccup or two), but the problem persisted. Eventually I just said "fuck it" and put absolutely everything down to low or off... and it's the same problem.
It's too stuttery to play properly like this, and it doesn't happen in the benchmarks either. Anybody got the same issue?
Specs:
Windows 8.1
GTX 980
i7 5820k @ 3.3ghz
16gb DDR4 ram
The CPU shouldn't be bottle necking it this badly right? So I'm wondering what the problem is.

Your graphics card cost more than my entire computer. It better fucking run so good for that price.
Yes my framerate absolutely tanked in Valentine on my 4.4ghz 6600k/2070 Super. It's clearly some issues with CPU utilisation and not about GPU.
Just got mine working by updating the BIOS on my X570 motherboard.
Thank you! I'll give that a try if I still have trouble. I did install the new driver before starting up the game the first time so I can rule that out.
Hrm.
Wonder what the over/under is on a patch or workaround emerging. It's basically unplayable otherwise, or at the very least not a pleasant experience.
I got the game to launch on another machine with an i7 2600K and an RX 570. My gosh!
I just ran a benchmark at Medium settings using Vulkan at 1440p with an average of around 40 fps. I can't wait to see how my 1080 Ti will perform!

So I am having a lot of issues launching this game too. It just launches to a black screen with sound. I have to kill it from the task manager and relaunch in safe mode to get it going. But then a lot of the textures don't seem to load correctly, the menus are slow and the graphic settings seem to keep reverting. This is disappointing...
So Unlocked Volumetric Raymarch Resolution causes a nasty red glare that covers the entire screen, but only at specific times, possibly related to the position of the sun. So best for it to be off.
Apart from that it's going okay. Mixing High and a few Ultra and still getting 75+fps on average. But 4K (not tried yet) might need medium options for 60fps.
No crashes but a handful of stutters.
Did have issues with the clouds at Medium Volumetric toption where they shimmered when I was riding fast on my horse. Changed to High Distant Volumetric and they're better. Hits fps a tad, maybe 5fps.

I don't think anyone here said that they suspect graphics processes are being offloaded to the cpu.
