(Note that the latest patch has made a few minor changes in the advanced settings.) Let me also define my low, medium, and high benchmark settings while I'm here. You can see specific image shots of my test settings in the above gallery, if you're interested. The difference between maximum and minimum on the Quality Preset Level when customizing all the other settings isn't massive, but it's measurable and it's best to be sure. That's the starting point for my 'ultra quality' and the above settings performance charts on the RTX 2060 and RX 5700. As a baseline measurement of performance, I unlock the advanced graphics settings and set everything in there to minimum, then drop the Quality Preset Level to minimum, and finally I set the main options to maximum quality but leave MSAA off. Running through Red Dead Redemption 2's graphics settings, there are about 40 different options to adjust.

And by okay, I mean that if you have at least a GTX 1060 / RX 570 or faster graphics card with 4GB VRAM, you can run RDR2 at 1080p and get around 30-60 fps. If you just stick with the default settings on a 1080p display (or drop to 1080p on a higher resolution monitor), you'll probably be okay.

GTA5 has an 'ignore memory limits' option, but RDR2 doesn't have an equivalent and won't allow you to exceed your GPU's VRAM. If you have an older GPU with only 1GB or 1.5GB VRAM, you'll be locked into whatever settings the game decides to use. DX12 may in some cases deliver better performance, so if you're using Vulkan and performance seems bad, try DX12-and vice versa.ДЄlso note that 3GB cards can't even attempt to run with all settings at ultra, and 2GB cards are limited to low on many settings. I've standardized on the Vulkan API, which is the default and appears to be the focus of most of the performance improvements since launch. I've included a large selection of current graphics cards and CPUs, and performance at maximum quality is clearly a problem with current hardware. The simple solution is to manually configure every setting for each hardware combination, after cranking the variable 'Quality Preset Level' to minimum (or maximum)-annoying, but it could be worse.

The issue is that one PC's 'balanced' settings won't always be the same as another PC, and many of the advanced settings (which are locked by default) get set to different values depending on your CPU and GPU.ДЈGB cards can't even attempt to run all the ultra settings, and 2GB cards are mostly limited to 1080p low.ДЇiguring out exactly how to reliably benchmark RDR2 took a bit of trial and error, but I've got that sorted out now. There's a slider labeled 'Quality Preset Level' that might seem like a good starting point, but it has 21 tick marks available, many of them overlap, and it has nebulous targets: 'favor performance,' 'balanced,' and 'favor quality.' The game will attempt to auto-detect settings that it deems appropriate for your hardware, but you'll almost certainly end up wanting to tweak things. Like GTA5, RDR2 has no presets for graphics.

Rockstar is taking the same stance as with GTA5: no mods for multiplayer or you might get banned, but for singleplayer use mods are generally okay.

Official mod support isn't really a thing, but there are already quite a few mods available for the singleplayer campaign, and more are likely to show up. The latter is pretty much required unless you have extra fingers and appendages, or like the brain-bending camera-relative horse controls for some reason. RDR2 shows some odd behavior in fullscreen mode, but running in borderless windowed mode fixes the problem.Д¬ontroller support and remapping the controls get green happy faces. Resolution support is good-I was able to select widescreen, ultrawide, and doublewide resolutions, as well as old school 4:3 stuff like 1024x768. Looking at the PC features, the list of graphics settings is good if perhaps a bit overkill (see below).
