It's such a shame that one of the most beautiful games ever made has its visuals handicapped (still looks great) by a terrible anti-aliasing implementation. They should really give us a "next-gen" upgrade and try to fix these issues
I used your exact settings basically, and my game is a lot clearer. I'm on 1080p on a laptop and my game looks so much cleaner and sharper. Medium TAA, 5 notches of TAA sharpening, and I adjusted my sharpness to .50 in the NVIDIA control panel and set Ignore Film Grain to max. Textures, grass, and even the distant mountains are so much more detailed and crisp. Thank you.
Oh God ive missed the Ignore Film Grain feature from NVCP. Its been gone for almost 2 yrs (?) Now How do you access it? Im revisiting this game after near 2 yrs & forgot all of my tweaks. These past 3 days ive just been tinkering w it to no avail😢
Did you use FXAA=ON for 1080p ? Thanks Edit: TAA = MEDIUM FXAA = OFF MSAA = OFF TAA Sharpening = 20 steps to the right side (its default) or up to 40 steps = 50% Resolutionscala: 5/4 (x1,250) Motion Blur = OFF Most demanding Setting if you set all to ultra lower these to high: Reflextionsqualität = Hoch Fellqualität = Hoch (Fur) Baum-Tesselierung = Hoch (Treetesselation) The works pretty well for me Asus ROG FullHD 360Hz display.
OH the ignore filmgrain @NVCP could be re-added by regedits. Just google it guys! Bern playing some serious rdO time since this @@Tech-Dino my preferences for 1080p, would be better off w SMAA (native if present Or via injector like reshade)
Thank You, this helped a lot. I had a lot of issues with clarity and settled on TAA High but it was never perfect. Now it's as close as possible to a perfectly clear image
Thanks for the tips! Before this I was running Taa at high 50%. I turned this down to medium 25% and immediately noticed a huge difference. After some tuning I now run the game at 1440p Taa medium @ 25% with Msaa on 2x and resolution scale set to 5/4. It definitely looks sharper than ever now. Thanks!
I don’t know why, but I can’t get in the graphics settings… I don’t see it at the settings menu… only display, controls, camera, audio and general. How can i fix that? Do i have to download something or?
i played the game last year on April-June with 1060 on 1080p monitor using hub optimised settings and i was getting around 50s average, couldnt complain and i was satisfied. I got 6800 some months ago and a 1440p monitor recently...i maxed out all settings just for the limits of my card and it was butter smooth with around 90 fps average. Definitely huge diff..
I upgraded about half a year ago from an integrated graphics computer, which I got max 14fps on lowest settings on, to the steam deck. I get solid 30fps on high graphics with upscaling, it’s a massive difference. Btw congrats on your upgrade
@@abhirupkundu8525 soft shadows are very poorly implemented, producing grainy weird textures. Just try enabling/disabling it beneath the big tree that covers the camp near the river on chapter 3 and you'll see.
Tried out the 1080p part of the guide (including the 1.25x internal resolution) for my RTX 4060 gaming laptop and it did well. The game looks quite clearer, and runs smoothly (60-70fps). Thanks!
Great guide, man. Recently upgraded my PC and I'm running the game at 1080p but with the resolution scale bumped up to 1.5 (meaning the game is actually rendering at 1620p). Even though my monitor is 1080p, the increased rendering scale works as a sort of super-sampling anti-aliasing. Paired with the tips you just gave, the image quality is much better now. My rig is capable of playing the game at 4k with everything maxed out, but the fps is inconsistent, it can hover between 55 to 65/70 depending on the location I'm at, so I just prefer to run at 1620p and have more fps + making sure it doesn't drop below 60. Its a shame that Red Dead 2 has such a "shaky" image quality, because otherwise the game looks phenomenal.
It seems you can run it on 2K monitor without a problem. When you can, buy one and you will never ever return to 1080p monitor again. 27 inches for 2K is perfect.
What about dlss? For me dlss looked the best while giving you free boost of fps. You do need to change the resolution to 3413 x 2133 though (around 4k) to reduce the artifact
Thank you very much, my first playthrough I didn't mess with anything and the game looked AMAZING... messed with GeForce experience and it made it look grity and kinda blurry and low fps like on my second playthrough. The TAA setting was it, and turning off DLSS was a life changer LOL. Tyvm
After thoroughly testing all the configurations, I must give you the reason in 1440p taa medium with 20 touches on the bar is much better than dlss, the game simply looks sharper, dlss activated gives me 20 more fps but despite playing with the sharpness the trees look worse, and there are strange effects in the hair, strange lines are seen in the textures and there is a strange effect against the light when there is a sunrise or sunset, my advice is this, if you manage to get between 50-60 fps Without activating the dlss, don't use it, the game loses a lot of image quality, on the other hand, if you have a pc that only manages to give you 30 fps, it's worth using dlss to be able to reach that fluidity in the game, sacrificing a bit of image quality. Until today dlss do not convince me, they have to improve it more.
thank you man. played this on all ultra graphics but aa was the only thing that just seemed, off. this helped and now my game looks amazing :D you are the best
Here’s a tip for those who have worse monitors. Turn particle settings on low, set the mirror reflections at medium, water physics medium or high, and everything else I recommend high. (Turn off all ultra settings)
In 1080p the game is unplayable. It's a ghosting and blur fest. I have to crank up internal res up to 1.5x to make it look sharp but also cap framerate to 30 fps because my RX588 can't handle the game in such high resolution. So I have to choose the lesser evil. PC port is atrocious. Two years after release and it's still a mess. I was always jealous of XB1X users. It has the same GPU but runs the game at native 4K. The game looks incredible in 4K, like a CGI-movie. TAA is great in high resolutions but awful in 1080p and lower.
@@TB__- if you press alt+z and select "game filter" (while in game) you can select "details" filter and boost the clarity. It will look much less blurry in the distance. This is exceptionally good in older games since it looks like it adds detail
this still works in may of 2024, thanks man! i didn't have issues with frame rate (have chonky computer) but couldn't find the right AA settings on 1440p, even MSAA looked.. off. however with this combination my game looks crisp, both up close as far away. most modern games these days benefit from DLSS being the superior choice for AA, even above native, this is however NOT the case with RDR2. the game was just not optimized for it back then when the pc port was done. the game itself is optimized very well framerate wise for what it does but the AA sucks. this remedies it almost completely!
Bro I first played the game with lowest graphics and barely 50fps, now playing 90fps and high preset settings feels good. Never even thought about maxing everything, as that takes me back to 50fps.
Wow man thanks so much for this video, I was trying to find a solution to a few problems I had with how the game looked but this fixed single one, I turned off a few things and turned on a few things like you suggested now I’m hitting 120 average fps with over 90% of the settings being on ultra. Thanks a lot 🙏
Unfortunately seems like only DLSS fixes this problem for a bit, like blur and shimmering idk, but not everyone has RTX cards. This game is clearly a port, if it was made from ground up like GTA 5 was im sure AA would be miles better.
yeah I find I leave taa on high since thats the anti thing done , I leave the other antialiasing stuff off but have everything on ultra max settings even the water so my thing becomes custom high. I have a clear screen in hdr 4k , but what I found is if I start stuffing around with the MSAA it only then becomes 'Vaseline' look. so I leave it off, I think I'm right if you have 1 or the other on because then it starts fighting against each other becomes creamy and then is a lot less sharp. btw I have a 4090 OC card but I dont use motion blur its really annoying to me.

Yeah, using dlss 2.5.1 or 3.5.1 dll swapped with the original dlss dll in the game, at 1440p or above resolution combined with dlss quality just make the whole scene buttery smooth, you are no longer see jaggies around grass or bushes, the graphics become so refined and cinematic, wonder if I'm alone here with my opinion?
I'm running the game at 1440p + FSR2.0 quality + reshade sharpening filters (CAS and lumasharpen) and the image is reasonably sharp. With 4K DSR (4K downsampled to 1440p) the image quality is perfect.
I use DSR 1440p (on a 1080p screen) + FSR Quality + HUD settings and that gives me the sharpest image (albeit with a little FSR ghosting, but ill take that over the blurry TAA)
There are lots of mods for this game called Visual Redemption, or Ultra sharp TAA, and many others. They're really easy to install, easier that fiddling with the game like this I'd say. These methods are subpar compared to that. You don't even need to use supersampling when using Visual Redemption. Also, Xbox One X's version of the game runs at fixed native 4K, without dynamic scaling.
Extremely informative video. Been playing this game for 3 years now with my 1060 and i5 4690k but now that I plan on upgrading my PC I’ve been looking into turning some settings up finally. Ty gamer
@Lordbugbug That's how TAA works, unfortunately. If you want clear image, turn off both TAA and FXAA (because FXAA produces even shittier image quality) and use MSAA or downsampling. Another mistake that you make in this video is the use of sharpening, sharpening is a destructive visual effect and you should avoid using it when its not needed, if you turn off TAA then there is no need for sharpening. Just use MSAA ×2 and take the 10 fps hit, it is worth it.
Im sorry man to tell you that I play it at 4K Native ULTRA settings on my 4K 28inch IPS Monitor with TAA HIGH it's so damn good no blurry at all TAA sharpness set at the mid
What’s the setting that sharpens your horse skin quality? Like the markings on my horse are kinda blurred and pixelated. How would I make it better graphics?
Good video that works, I would also majorly recommend installing a TAA mod on nexus mods as apparently the TAA blurriness and smudging was set to be run at 30 fps so its more blurry to reduce shimmering at lower frames, So the mod changes the blurriness and other values to make it look more sharp. There are also 3 different files for different fps counts and settings for your preference with different scales of how much the blurriness has been reduced that could increase shimmering. Edit: Also, if your pc can handle it and your willing to sacrifice some fps you can enable msaa x2 and that will fix the blocky and blurry trees and give a sharper picture Edit 2: unfortunately MSAA introduces an LOD bug for trees where trees will become invisible and disappear so the only "real" way to get rid of all the issues that TAA causes, mainly blocky/blurry trees without any issues is to play at a 4k resolution or upscale as the mod doesnt fix the trees and reducing the TAA blur to try and fix the trees will result in shimmering
@@barroth3658 I would assume so as it only changes the values in the files instead of adding unknown files however maybe rockstar is very strict in general with messing with the files. I doubt you will get banned so give it a go
It's weird how MSAA and FXAA used together still look worse than TAA. There is something wrong with this game. It's probably the results of the game being made for 4k and the textures being too high quality. The game was made for the future basically.
dlss implementation in this game is so bad it only gives you 5 to 10 more fps while making everything blurrier than turning on FXAA. I will try to play around with resolution scaling though to turn any extra bit of spare performance into better clarity
for me just set TAA and MSAA to hight to kill the ugly edge and set resolution scale to 3/2 (1.5) or higher for clarity it definitely increase texture and details hope u guys try it if it's work just let me know
Hi. Did you only turn off TAA in 1080p? Or is my english too bad to get it? I played this game on PS5 and XSX. I would try it on PC now with PC-mouse.. But the games looks so horrible on PC....
Thanks for doing this video, I was just wondering so im using TAA on medium should I have FXAA on or off btw my res is 1080 and should I have resolution scale on?
Honestly I just use DLSS on quality, I tried everything else and it’s either worse looking or much worse performance wise. I’m on 1080p tho so it’s a more specific situation
Hey! I've been doing this for about a year but; I went onto RDR2 yesterday and suddenly my TAA, FXAA and MSAA are all greyed out? Is this just me or did a patch break something? I can't play with just TAA on alone and it's automatically set to High even though it's greyed out. I've tried to edit the settings in the Rockstar folder via notepad as well but even after I've saved it, it's unchanged ingame. Does anyone know a fix to this? 😥
too bad TAA makes the tree leaves huge, at 3440x1440 anyway. indeed it seems the game is built for 4k Only DLSS fixes that so i just use quality setting, to have a completely clear image i need to combine it with DSR (external in this case cause internal resolution scale gets disabled with DLSS for obvious reasons) - but then unless you have a 3090 or enjoy 30fps it won't do much good to ya!
One thing I just discovered as a new PC gamer is that I take more time watching videos about optimisation and experimenting than playing the game 😂😂
Bro telling the truth (same as me 😂)
It's such a shame that one of the most beautiful games ever made has its visuals handicapped (still looks great) by a terrible anti-aliasing implementation. They should really give us a "next-gen" upgrade and try to fix these issues

Im sorry man to tell you that I play it at 4K Native ULTRA settings on my 4K 28inch IPS Monitor with TAA HIGH it's so damn good no blurry at all TAA sharpness set at the mid
Amd fsr 2.2 on 1080p looks AMAZING
What’s the setting that sharpens your horse skin quality? Like the markings on my horse are kinda blurred and pixelated. How would I make it better graphics?
i think just fur settings to ultra from what i can tell but im not too sure :/
taa medium + nvidia filter sharper
parallax occlusion changes only the lights and shadows and the depth of the terrain.. it makes the littles stones non-flat
I play at 1080p and i disagree my game looks insanely good
Good video that works, I would also majorly recommend installing a TAA mod on nexus mods as apparently the TAA blurriness and smudging was set to be run at 30 fps so its more blurry to reduce shimmering at lower frames, So the mod changes the blurriness and other values to make it look more sharp.
There are also 3 different files for different fps counts and settings for your preference with different scales of how much the blurriness has been reduced that could increase shimmering.
Edit: Also, if your pc can handle it and your willing to sacrifice some fps you can enable msaa x2 and that will fix the blocky and blurry trees and give a sharper picture
Edit 2: unfortunately MSAA introduces an LOD bug for trees where trees will become invisible and disappear so the only "real" way to get rid of all the issues that TAA causes, mainly blocky/blurry trees without any issues is to play at a 4k resolution or upscale as the mod doesnt fix the trees and reducing the TAA blur to try and fix the trees will result in shimmering
this comment needs a pin! i am trying to spread the same word around people arent aware of this mod
@@lifeisbeautiful7361 does it work in online?
@@barroth3658 I would assume so as it only changes the values in the files instead of adding unknown files however maybe rockstar is very strict in general with messing with the files. I doubt you will get banned so give it a go
can i get ur full graphics settings suggestions for a 1660 super
😭
thank you this helped quite a bit 👍
FXAA creates a thin vertical line across my screen
It's weird how MSAA and FXAA used together still look worse than TAA. There is something wrong with this game. It's probably the results of the game being made for 4k and the textures being too high quality. The game was made for the future basically.
Thanks man my game looks better now (change from fsr 2.0 to your settings )
A moment of silence for the people who play the OG Xbox one version of this game.
Taa sharpening off if you want less blurry motion I think
Thank you very much!
theres a fuzzy outline on my character and you only see it when you move him or the camera angle, i’ve tried for hours to fix it and nothing 😢
can we upscale to 1440p i am restricted 1080p monitor but my rig is capable of 1440p ?
dlss implementation in this game is so bad it only gives you 5 to 10 more fps while making everything blurrier than turning on FXAA.
I will try to play around with resolution scaling though to turn any extra bit of spare performance into better clarity
Thank you for this video. My game looks much better now.
Turn off motion blur and adjust resolution scale to get 60fps+ atleast. 👍
my personal best for 1080p
DLDSR 2880*1620 (33-38%) + DLSS quality + sharp (a little bit)
hey whats the background song of the video?
also, do you have the problem of the settings not saving on pc?
yes I have that problem! also it's in the description 👍
@@Lordbugbug i cant see it there
@@hel_raven Song is: Red Dead Redemption 2 Official Soundtrack - Eastward Bound
@@BoeJahama thank you
I don't now why, but turn off vertical sync, gives me more image stability
for me just set TAA and MSAA to hight to kill the ugly edge
and set resolution scale to 3/2 (1.5) or higher for clarity
it definitely increase texture and details
hope u guys try it if it's work just let me know
I use DSR 2.25x on 1440p for 4K - Excellent. All maxed out with RTX 4070 Ti with smooth gameplay. No DLSS or AMD FSR.
Thanks a lot u solved my promotion😊
Hi. Did you only turn off TAA in 1080p? Or is my english too bad to get it? I played this game on PS5 and XSX. I would try it on PC now with PC-mouse.. But the games looks so horrible on PC....
Thanks!
Thanks for doing this video, I was just wondering so im using TAA on medium should I have FXAA on or off btw my res is 1080 and should I have resolution scale on?
TAA = Medium - FXAA = OFF foe 1080
I have a 3080 egva and it worked for me
For me It's hard to look at.
It hurts my eyes and don't know why and how to fix it.
Honestly I just use DLSS on quality, I tried everything else and it’s either worse looking or much worse performance wise. I’m on 1080p tho so it’s a more specific situation
Hey!
I've been doing this for about a year but; I went onto RDR2 yesterday and suddenly my TAA, FXAA and MSAA are all greyed out? Is this just me or did a patch break something? I can't play with just TAA on alone and it's automatically set to High even though it's greyed out. I've tried to edit the settings in the Rockstar folder via notepad as well but even after I've saved it, it's unchanged ingame. Does anyone know a fix to this? 😥
the only thing i know that would grey out your AA settings is if you have dlss turned on! other than that i have no idea 😬
Lmfao you had DLSS enabled and didn’t know like a noob💀
Thank you.
Using the words "clear" and using TAA and FXAA ingame = syntax error
I think taa on med makes the game to be less realistic. In my opinion taa on med removes the fogs
Thank you, my game already looked beautiful, you made it even better ...
Motion blur should be defaulted as off in every game.
Hey bro for me when I stay still my game looks fine but when I move it becomes blur and msaa and fxaa is really bad looking
honestly fsr 2.0 on quality is better than any of these settings than AA at 1080p
So you changed from Vulkan? Otherwise you cant change most settings?
This game is too complicated on PC, I hope they will release a PS5 XSX version soon or later
What is your gpu you are using in this video🤔
too bad TAA makes the tree leaves huge, at 3440x1440 anyway.
indeed it seems the game is built for 4k
Only DLSS fixes that so i just use quality setting, to have a completely clear image i need to combine it with DSR
(external in this case cause internal resolution scale gets disabled with DLSS for obvious reasons)
- but then unless you have a 3090 or enjoy 30fps it won't do much good to ya!
Motion blur off makes the came look clunky and choppy just not worth it
How should I turn off taa on ps5 because I'm playing the game now and it has some rain problem the rain is really white and covering everything
You awesome dude 😎👍🏼
Hey man, red dead redemption 2 new patch notes mention improvements to taa. Can you check them out?
oh snap, absolutely!
@@Lordbugbug whats the verdict?
would it be better to put TAA sharpening to 25 or use five and add 50% on nvidia filters
i think that 2nd option would be great! although nvidia filters is usually a 2-3fps cost for performance but for clarity i think its a good balance 👍
Im so baffled on why these anti aliasing stuff even exist when you give up something in return for something else like come on.
