**Check the description if you need the Optimized Settings arranged in the same order as the game's Graphics Menu.
Just to be clear , in regards to Image Quality FSR is not perfect , it also has some issues and artifacts for example when using Sniper Scope or Binoculars ,
but around moving foliage and trees it looks cleaner and sharper compare to DLSS and choosing FSR or DLSS is purely down to personal preference , personally I hate shimmering and aliasing that's why I prefer FSR in this game but if you want to use DLSS I recommend downloading the latest version from here : www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/ and replace the DLL inside the game's files and use Reshade (or any other tool) to apply some sharpening and make the image looks better.
And If you can get good performance at native resolution and you want the best Image Quality I recommend using DLAA with this mod from here : www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/2072
SUBTITULOS ESPAÑOL PLEASE
the problem if we update the dlss manually in rdr2, the game automatically updates to restore the version of the original dlss. 😭
Genuine question why use DLAA over TAA (with a TAA mod/tuned values). What does DLAA offer if you aren't saving fps. Based on image quality comparisons I've seen MSAA>TAA>FSR/DLSS at least as you get closer to 4k because you don't get the shimmering foliage and other taa issues at 4k.
I have 7900 xt you think should ı open fsr(they say no need gpu is too powerful and original graphics better,fsr is blurry),ı will use rtx,on 1080p and ı use this optimizaiton guide.I always close motion blur,lens flare depth of field which uses gpu more or less.
I also have a 3060Ti and a 5600X, trying it to run 60fps 1080p with your settings with a Undervolt on the GPU, but the still hitting 70-72º C at 80% Speed fan on the cinematics on the snow. Had to reduce the fps to 50 to survive in some points.
I wish all games had this type of detailed guide, the amount of performance you can gain in some cases are insane, literally game changer
god of war needs this detailed settings since that game is also cpu bound i tried it with my Ryzen 5 2600 paired with Rx 6600 and framerates and frametimes are not good my friend
@@akmalrusydi2730 I also use rx 5 2600 but with a RX 590 and I can somehow gather up 60 fps in Cyberpunk but in God of War I pray for a consistent 45 fps ..
@@fatihaktaas34 god of war needs some performance patch and graphic settings i swear that game is unplayable on hard difficulty since the dips is so unpredictable making the combat janky as hell
Just frigging play it on PS5 you get a locked 60fps ..but am sure my 3060ti could get over 100 in God of war at 1080p
@@71igfffv who wants that shitty plastic box🤣🤣
I was a bit doubting at first but damn. Going from 48 to 80 in Strawberry with little to no degrade in visual quality is insane. Keep up the good work sir.
can yoy tell me how u did it???
@@ag7_._ I got ai5 13600k and a 3060 so I didnt fully follow the setting in the video. I got everything on max except near volumetric medium, reflection medium, water setting the same as the video, tree tess off, raymarch st off
@@thuanle1246 Strawberry is very very heavy on water, the most demanding part of the game if you have water physics on max, putting at 2/4 will give a massive boost
Nah 2/5 is extremely horrible water physics. Keep at 3/5@@mihailcirlig8187
@@thuanle1246 bro trust me , i didn't knew that NEAR VOLUMETTIC :ULTRA can make game so realistic
Thank you for the well detailed guide. Even going above and beyond in explaining what each setting is for and how they can affect both your gameplay and its performance. Keep it up!
your channel is an hidden gem. You deserve more recognition. Awesome video as always
Been waiting long for this one !! Thank you for your work I greatly appreciate it
why? Hardware unboxed did this upon release. Not saying his work is bad or not needed btw, I love this channel.
@@lilpain1997 True, but that was on release of the game, so some things have changed a little.
+ BenchmarKing also takes CPU limits into consideration, which Hardware Unboxed didnt, so it might be helpful to some people.
BE CAREFUL ! - Swap out your API first! Do not switch graphics API after doing all your tweaks. It will likely reset them. I spent half an hour changing everything according to this video, and then at the end of it you're instructed to try out vulkan or DX12 and see what has the best performance. Immediately knew i should turn Vulkan back on after trying DX12, but when I did switch back I realised I would now need to tweak everything all over again.
Funny how I did the same mistake and came across your comment while trying to find a better list of the optimized setting here (where every setting is in order and not all over the place).
very annoying aye! Sorry you went through the same shit. @@leiff-
Just switch from the system.xml file at your documents
Why did i find this comment after i restart the game
Takes literally like 1 minute to put the settings back chill out 🙄
Why haven't I found this channel earlier? This is amazing! Every setting explained and examples shown what the difference is. You got yourself a new sub!
I was literally looking for a guide like this yesterday as i started RDR2 for the first time in a couple years. The timing!
Amazing video! I looked up a guide just now because I was struggling in the tall trees area, in the 45 fps range, then barely keeping 60 fps after I adjusted some settings on my own. But after following along with your video, I'm now between 80 and 90 fps with no discernable difference in quality. Plus, it was awesome to see exactly what each of these settings affected. Great work. Easy sub.
Can u tell me what is ur pc build?
@@linkz3TM Sure. Alienware Area-51m R2 laptop, with:
i7-10700
2080 Super Mobile
32 GB 3200MHz (capped at 2933)
4TB Inland M.2 SSD
You use the exact settings that he tell right? And is your texture on high or ultra?
@@NB-mw1bt Same settings as the video, yeah. And textures on ultra.
@@linkz3TMdo you think a

Would be good for rdr 2 high setting
Thank you man, your settings gave me 30-40 fps more!
Great job ❤
Tysm, underrated channel, running on a 32:9 with a 6750xt this video got me above 60-90 constantly while before id be at around 51-70. Gonna sub and keep coming back to ur vids when I really need em thanks again.😊
by far the most detailed guide with explanations of what each setting does and the related performance impact of each setting. well done, thank you for your work. just as a side note the settings i had decided on prior to watching your vid were very close to what you had with a couple of exceptions which i'm going to do comparison on. your data on the performance impact compared to the visuals on each setting is invaluable...thx mate
The king has spoken
Indeed. He is the best at what he does.
@@superp0sition really bub u don't know him yet
This is the way
You always do a great job optimizing games and editing your videos, please keep it up. Greetings from Brazil.
Wow thank you! This is the perfect guide and breakdown. I had no idea what most of these did. I just got the game on sale and recently got a hand-me-down gaming PC with an older 1070 TI and a i7-980 CPU, still a great very capable gaming PC so I knew I could run this, but I am also trying to run it on a 4K monitor, so I was struggling getting 30 FPS! I just ran benchmark settings after changing all these, (I used FSR) and now it's hitting 30 and not going any lower at all! So stoked!
Thanks for this, my settings were changed and I couldn’t get it back to a great balance of visual and performance. You got me back appreciate the work you put into this
Extremely useful & practical video. Even if my hardware differs, these are good settings to start with and the methodology is invaluable.
I envy those who have not yet played this game. Thanks for the work!
i agree i pre ordered this game on my p4 played it as soon as it dropped then when it came out in pc i bought it again but on sale for like 30$
I'm one of those people. I actually started playing it last week and am about 10 hours in so this optimization guide is literally perfect for me!
@@RunningFromMachines enjoy it! Playing it on release was a truly fun time and experiencing the world detail was even better.
This game would definitely be my choice for "one thing to erase from your memory, so you can experience it for the first time, again"
playing my first playthrough now!! I got it back on release but switched to PC shortly after
Thank you so much for your time on this. I get easily perplexed with all the options. Thank you for such a good break down.
Before this video I was doing Permutations and Combinations of all settings ...
Thank You So Much!
Dude you're videos are the BEST.
Digital foundry and HW unboxed are great but you go that extra mile and it shows. Subbed
Once again great job with this guide! Keep up the good work!
Excellent video! Exactly what I needed. Thank you for your hard work!
You honestly deserve so many more subs man, I just discovered your channel, feels like a gold mine.
what a great job and incredible dedication, thanks for what you do
its brilliant how these settings still make this game look amazing whilst increasing fps by a large amount
Your videos helped me alot to optimize my ingame settings for AAA games.
Thank you!
Thanks for the guide! I was so lost with all the settings, and wanted best quality & performance for my hardware.. this guide did just that!
Thank you! Got 20 more frames from just switching from Vulkan to Dx12 and i really appreciate the side by side comparison for each setting!
WHAT THE FUCK 20 FRAMES ????
wtf my frame rates double when I use Vulkan lol I have a 4070, maybe different GPUs like different APIs?
@@K.C-2049I have the same card as you and use Vulkan and use to get good performance over 60 fps all the time on 1440 p and I opened the game one day and now it runs like shit on the same exact settings can barley get over 60 now and ever other game runs fine
@@K.C-2049my 4070 got more frames using Dx12 but had visual bugs so I switched back to vulkan. Might try dx12 again since I have a 4080 now
@@clueless4401verify game files or reinstall
This video is amazing, thank you so much for all the testing.
These suggestions took me from 62-65 fps on max to about 110 fps in most areas. Massive difference and the game still looks great.
Ur optimized settings is so good man, I've tried RDR2 last 2020 but since my PC is on the low end and RDR2 is not that optimized yet, i stop mid game. But just now I tried your settings on the same PC and I'm amazed on how good the graphics now on ULTRA, and still rocking a solid 40 fps. It's just much immersive and realized how good and wonderful game this is. With the addition of mods like PEDS and AEM, It's been a blast!!
I was looking for optimization tips like this for ages before starting this game, but most videos out there are bogus and don't have any detailed explanation like yours, so thank you very much for that ❤❤ .
Finished chapter 5 a couple of hours ago, with 40 FPS :") . Might actually restart the game to enjoy it properly this time, with higher frame rates that is 😊
Brother you are magnificent, tbh on par or even better than digital foundry
Thanks man went from 70 to 120 stable fps, you are a life saver
bruh, in rdr stable 60 fps on ultra its nice, cuz "optimazed settings" looks bad compare ultra.
on screen.
high fps better in online mode
Great job on the video and explanations of the various graphics settings. Thank you.
This is one of my favourite channels on yt right now, you make super well done videos
First of all, thankls for this vid, helped me to raise FPS twice! Sad you didn't do such tutorial about GTA IV ;)
Same here! ))
Bonus tip , turning on risizable BAR or SAM in the bios and then forcing it on with Nvidia inspector on Nvidia GPU's ( it's already enabled globally if enabled on AMD gpu's in the bios) can massively improve this game's 1% lows figures which will result in a much smoother performance on top of optimized settings of course, Great video as allways keep up the great work!.
I just assumed that resize bar worked in all games with nvidia but now i know better lol thanks.
Actual Lifesaver. I didn't even know this was a thing that existed, although it had always been enabled in my bios I needed to download a vbios to enable it on my GPU itself. There were some hiccups at first, the game kept crashing as soon as story booted up and I feared the worst, but the vbios messed with my MSI afterburner (I think that was the issue) and once I straightened everything out everything seems to be working great. The small stutter that would always occur when entering intensive areas is gone, and my FPS as a whole as increased drastically. Thanks!
Wow, thanks. I just assumed that resize bar worked in all games.
@@kevinfromsales6842 Well sort of an edit to my comment, but RDR2 began crashing again (solely at horseshoe overlook for some reason) and disabling BAR with the inspector has seemed to fix it. Enabling BAR without inspector seems to be enough
@@-Venemic Oh that's weird. Mine crashes when I try to set it to full screen mode and then I tab out of the game but other than that there's been no crashing with resize bar enabled on profile inspector. Even with resize bar I still get stuttering in saint denis. the stuttering seems to be a very common issue so I'm guessing rockstar never really put much time into optimization.
This is an extremely helpful guide, you've got a new subscriber.
Thank u so much, got such and amazing fps boost while having a great visual quality, having this video is huge to save a lot of time and headaches tweaking settings, just got a huge pc upgrade, tried to go fancy maxing everything and noticed that the fps were really bad, did this optimization, same visual quality but got beyond +100 fps
thanks for the video but absolutely hate the fact you couldnt go through the menu in order....
I remember finding this channel when I was looking for an Elden Ring Optimization Guide. Your video on that topic really saved me and since then anytime I start playing a new game I check your channel for a guide first. Thank you so much for your efforts. Eagerly waiting for the Diablo IV Guide :)
Thanks! I have been looking for good looking optimized rdr2 graphics, got to say this helped me a lot.
There are things missing from the optimized settings section and nothing is in order compared to the in game menu
Hey thanks for posting the optimized settings in a completely random order I love moving back and forth instead of just going down the list! 10/10 smartest content creator alive
While it is a great video, i can't help but agree.
Loved tbe video but you're right, this category order ain't it
Man he already did all the work for you painstakingly testing all of the settings. If it’s that much of a problem for your lack of attention span, just skip to the end of the video where he shows all the settings at once lmao. What a dumb criticism
Thanks for this video, very informative and to the point. Cheers!
Incredible video! So concise and we'll prepared. Thank you!
One tip to note is that if you using the rockstar launcher version you need a mod to swap dlss for you because if not the launcher detects the file and restore it
So if its on steam you can just replace the file, right?
@@kevinfromsales6842 i dont know because you still need the launcher for it to open the game as far as i know
@@allansolano5587 yeah I'm not sure. I replaced the file and dlss still looks like garbage at times.
I'm using the new 3.5.0 DLSS version with that garbage rockstar + epic games launcher, the file doesn't get replaced with the old 2.2.0 DLSS file that RDR2 uses. Maybe they've fixed that. Restarted many times, still there.
@@mcgmgc I hope it is fixed. I tried cyberpunk with the new 3.5 file and it looks great.
it is very confusing with such a category method
we have to look for one by one, can you make the video sequentially according to the settings in the game?
or give me a screenshot of the optimal settings in this video
13:47 has everything laid out for you

bro, i practically just bought the game and i was trying to follow the old tutorial guide, you showed up when i needed it, thanks
Thanks again, saves so much time that you've compared these for us already.
Time to finally check this game off the bucket list 👌🏻
Why did you do this in random? You should have done this in the order.
Even im being grateful, he did it in the most confusig order possible. It is almost as manatees in an aquarium choose randomically ballons with the settings order.
Yeah i would watch the hardware unboxed instead
How do you think this compares to the Hardware Unboxed optimization guide?
Considering its a more recent vídeo and benchmarKing always lean to the better visual fidelity side, i would say his settings are probably better looking but with little to no difference on the fps
Lets hope the King himself answers it
Hardware Unboxed released their findings a number of years ago and they have really made a difference for many, many people. I used them myself for a while because it does provide a good base for visuals to performance. But...I have no idea what graphics drivers they were using then. With all the updates to all graphics cards up to this point in time, I think starting with Hardware Unboxed is still a good starting point, and the individual players can tweak it from there.
Loved it, just picked this game up on PC for the first time. I played it on PS4 on release prob in 1080p. Now that I have a 4k gaming PC, im going to play thru it again. Just used your guide and im getting 100fps in 4k native NO DLSS/FSR. Pretty excited to get going
This is a really Good guide on RDR2 settings, Good work bro!! Keep up!!
A lot of people thing this game is unoptimized for a 2019 game but the game is just massively futurepeoofed. That cant be said about the pc ports that come out these days.
Yeah the second I saw the menu on release, I figured you can get the equivalent of a PS6 remaster.
DO NOT USE FSR. Look out of any window or use the binoculars and the game gets pretty funky, same goes for certain weather conditions, especially easy to see on/around tress. I have tried this on both a 3080 and 6800xt and the same thing happens on both. So just use TAA or if you if you can DLSS, personally would recommend neither DLSS or FSR but DLSS is overall less buggy.
Yes both FSR and DLSS have problems but overall imo FSR looks more stable and sharper specially around moving foliage and trees.
You can use a custom DLSS to fix the sharpening. Later versions of DLSS past 2.5.1 don’t have sharpening capabilities at all. This fixes almost all the problems with DLSS.
It’s a shame that FSR has busted scopes and binoculars because I think it actually looks best out of the three options. Good level of sharpness and not many artifacts in motion.
@@benchmarking4386 Yeah but you cant get rid of the annoying artifacts FSR causes so I wouldn't ever use it over DLSS if I had the option to choose between the two. FSR does look better though and that is how I found those issues out as I was using FSR over DLSS due to the weird hair and shimmering issues. Now I just use TAA as both are not really ideal and distracting
I use VSR to set resolution to 1800p and then I put fsr on quality and the quality/performance is great on my 6700xt, almost max settings never going below 60fps.
@@brzimtrco6142 Its not about the FPS gain its about the artifacts that FSR cause. Its why I said do not use it as you cannot fix them and its not any different between people or computers it seems. As seen by others that have outlined this issue elsewhere. Unless you really need to push your FPS up then you may as well just stick to TAA. Or if you have Nvidia swap DLSS files over as it does help. The FPS gain will be pretty much identical to DLSS .
Omg thank you for this. Went from 50~ fps to stable 70fps
Ive watched a few of your videos and just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work, you deserve more subscribers and now you got 1 more
Such a great video! I came back playing RDR2 but now in PC, your video helped me out so much with my visual preferences. Keep it up!!

thank you for this amazing and helpful video. Got the best settings on steam deck with that knowledge
an absolute gem of a guide, insane work man ! I feel like my (kind of getting) old 2080 is a 4080 right now ! Keep up the excellent work, you won a subcriber !
This Guide is the absolute best hands down there is no comparison, I went from an average of mid 60's low 70's to an average of high 90's to around 110 whilst making the game look better.
