It's a small difference. Freestyle incurs around a 4-5FPS hit while NVCP is roughly 2-3FPS.

Should be good, just have to set your settings accordingly. There's plenty of resources around this thread, but if need more help just holler.
In comparison I have a friend with an i7-4790k and a 1080, he's playing at 1440p and has adjusted it so it's above 60fps and looks fantastic!
Finally figured out wtf was happening on my system. Game won't run on DirectX 12 after the last patch for some reason, can't even get the benchmark to load. Swap to Vulkan and it starts up no problem.
I'm on a GTX 970, which is pretty damn old, so I was planning on using DX12 for this game. It seems crazy that's what the issue was.

I'm uploading a video with settings that I have manually adjusted one by one and have found to perform well so far with my Ryzen 5 3600 and GTX 1080 Ti.
I've been to Valentine and went to river on the outside of it to see how the performance hold up there too. I will be heading to other places in my next video!
So weird last night was non stop crashes. Today. No updates. No changes on my end. But no crashes in the 2 hours I've played.
Getting around 60-70 fps on Valentine on a mix of med/high/ultra settings, vulkan, gtx 1080ti, 1440p gsync.
70-90 fps in the wilderness
Even at 0% I found it add slightly too much sharpening in this game. Odd, because I haven't experience that in other games. Though, RDR2 just has so much detail in distant foliage, so that might just be it.
They definitely can. I assume they will since it's quite widespread, but I wouldn't make any promises at this point. If you're worried, I would err on the side of caution and wait until a patch or the Steam release (so that you can refund if there are any issues).
I wouldn't go that far...when GTAIV released it literally required more memory than any GPU at that time had for the highest settings....
Nah, that game ran like shit for years even with lowered settings. I'd say it's more of a Ubisoft PC launch circa 2013ish when they had all their PC ports done by their Russian studios that had issues but were still mostly playable.
None of them made me update by BIOS though.
So even at 0% it still adds sharpening? How does that make sense.
Thanks for the info I wasn't aware of that.
I activated it through NCP but had to turn it way down from 0.50 to around 0.20 since the sharpening was too aggressive, knowing about the FPS cost I'll just turn it off, I need all the frames I can get!
Finally got Vulkan to work had to turn on pagefile in virutal memory lol not only did that improve my fps but now the game seems to boot full screen instead of windowed
Gta iv was one heck of a game that still looks decent today and had more advanced physics and ai than gta v for example. Plus nyc looks great with all the population and traffic sliders maxed out.
It just was CPU bound and that made it hard to get steady 60 fps. But many games from that era were CPU bound because multithreaded programming in games was on its infancy and dual core processors were common.

AGESA 1.0.0.4 is apparently the real deal, installed the ASRock beta bios for my board, restarted RDR2, made it through the first cabin and up to the first train mission, buttery smooth. Previously I crashed 3 times within half an hour and when it wasn't crashing it was constantly hitching and freezing.
You know its optimized how? Its amazing how people defend games that should be way more polished.
I don't know what you're talking about. My PC runs GTA IV perfectly fine. Best PowerPoint presentation I ever installed.
Oh this did the trick!
I'm toggling it on and off to compare in a grassy area and on Valentine's main street and it's like magic, game now looks really amazing and everything on screen pops as it should! Had to use the ingame one (alt f3), the one in the control panel wasn't working for me for some reason (using Vulkan maybe that's why), but I'm not noticing a significant performance hit.
I can't imagine 2 different forms of sharpening would do good things for picture quality. Might be a good idea to try it with TAA sharpening disabled in the RDR2 options and see if it looks any better.
I updated my BIOS, and was finally able to launch the game. Things seem to be running smoothly.

I'm running most of the settings at high, with ultra textures, with a couple medium settings mixed in. Running a solid 1080p/60+ fps. Looks and plays great.

Okay, so I've been running the game at 1440p for the last hour just playing the prologue and with an i5 3570k at 4.3 GHz and a GTX 1070 with 8gb of RAM. With Gsync, my game feels pretty smooth and a low of 40fps but I've got a lot of stuff up high just to look at it.
For project lasso, run the program as administrator. Right click on RDR2.exe and change the following:
Priority class: high
CPU limiter:
When CPU use is 98%
Reduce by this many CPU cores: 1
For a period of: 1 seconds
Add the rule, apply it, and you're good to go. I haven't had any stuttering since applying this trick.
Come on Rockstar, fix your shit.
That seems to be doing a hell of a lot better than other 1070 users I've seen on this board.
I finally got the game to start after updating the driver for my audio interface! This was after updating Windows 10 to 1903.
Fucking finally lmao
Fucking finally lmao
lmao, at first I was like "How?! I wanna replay" but then...yeah :(
Much appreciated thanks
Im managing to get 60 fps out in the world, but in cities it tanks to 40, cpu gets hammered and my 2080 sleeps
Yeah I installed GTAIV a few years ago and it ran just fine... after I modded GFWL out ofit.
But at 1080p it still looks great actually. I still don't fully understand how its open world looks and feels more immersive than pretty much any other open world of its time. Non-Rockstar open worlds didn't really catch up until current gen games like AC Unity and Witcher 3.
I think this engine is targeting PC and PS5 both for RDR2 and GTA6. So the weakest CPU is expected to be a bit more than an old 4C it as PS5 will have 6+ cores at that speed.
Can't play the game for more than 30 minutes before the fucking thing crashes to my desktop. Was working just fine before the last update.
I decided to make the RDR2 desktop shortcut redirect to the R* launcher, since it was just taking up space on my desktop otherwise. It's easy to forget amid all the "I can't play the game at all" or "I needed to flash my BIOS to be able to start the launcher" stuff, the shortcut the launcher puts on your desktop can't even be used to start the game.
At this point, I'm not even mad, just stunned.

Checked FPS with on and off and it's actually the same for me. If there is any difference it's negligible so I turned it back on.
Thank you! I had my pagefile turned off which was causing Vulkan to crash my game after loading the Story or Benchmark, I did gain roughly 10 FPS with it compared to DX12 but there are some MAJOR texture/asset streaming issues with Vulkan.
The stutters people are getting are related to having too low of a pagefile, Windows set mine automatically to a bit less than 3GB and my game started to stutter HARD on the benchmark. I increased the pagefile to 24GB min and 64GB max memory size and it was smooth sailing but the textures/assets are still not loading correctly.
Will have to go back to DX12 until Rockstar fixes this.
Damn I played for over an hour no issues. And I have my game installed on a sea gate 5400. One thing I did do was update the Vulkan driver the one rockstar supplied in the folder is outdated to the one I found.
Last launcher update broke the launcher for me again. On the newest MSI bios. Fun, worth the money.
60+ in Valentine no matter time of day for me. Not been to other towns and cities yet.
