They need a high starting price to have from where to cut after those with large wallets pay and ofc. to make those with small wallets think they are making a good timed choice when they add a discount. My recommendation as always is to pirate it.
quick fps booster for this game, if you set the shadow quality to high from ultra you get a really nice fps boost without sacrificing on any visuals (both settings look exactly the same as far as i can tell)
Lowering shadows in every game gives a fps boost I always run my shadows at medium an on a unreal 5 i run them at low because low on unreal doesnt look low by any means
Suprisingly a good port in my short experience, looks really nice, has actual PC exclusive features like DLSS, it's so much better than playing it on an emulator. Glad it wasn't another one of those "GTA Remastered" disasters.
It actually looks really good in the gameplay with the improved draw distance, shadows, and hdr. For how little they changed a 14 year old game, it's a nice result.

But now, looking at the fact that 1060 can run it maxed out with above 60 fps gives me hope that I can finally do a playthrough of this beautiful game. Can't wait for the mods, I can already feel how fun it will be, because this game uses euphoria and basically a GTA 4 in the wild west
This game has a weird issue, at least to me. Testing on 720p and 2160p on 60 fps lock, the GPU usage remains the same. How is that possible? Daniel, would you like to investigate this?
Well they are at the tail end of gta 6 development so you know there going balls to the wall for that game, but honestly. Better draw distance, better fidelity, way better fps and better res is more than what I was expecting.
Not to dissuade you from playing on the deck, but RDR2 with a mouse was a breath of fresh air. I had a really hard time aiming on the PS4 version when it released without using the auto aim or the bullet time mechanics -- it's much more intuitive with a mouse. I would imagine it will be a similar story on this game.
@lex_vilka731 I also felt all of the movement was too sluggish. I know they were trying to simulate human movement more realistically, but it ruined the controls for me.
My game changes the GPU driver performance plan from optimal to max performance when I exit. This makes the 3080ti consume 150 watts at 2.5k ultra instead of 100 watts. And 125 watts at any graphics settings and resolutions below full hd. I have to change the game profile setting in the NVIDIA inspector, the power parameter every time before starting the game.
Also, the original console version was probably at 720p and not 1080p. Xbox 360 and PS3 games were upscaled to 1080, but generally rendered at 720p or below.
Same situation as you. Never owned a console. Loving the game and don't give a '4 X' as to the price. It runs great on my old first gen I7 chip and a 1070ti GPU. Ultra graphic settings and average 75fps. 34 inch wide screen monitor 3440X1440. No problems.
Original RDR came out while I was in the military. I bought it, and got about 1/2 way through it. But had to put it down, and just never got back to it. I'm glad to see that they put some work into it. Looking forward to spinning it up again. Buuuuut, I won't be paying 50$ for it. I've already done that once.
I don't have MSI afterburner installed, so I don't know what the frame rate is, but I have a Ryze 5900x paired with a RTX 3070, and I have everything maxed out. No upscaling, No Vsync running at 1440p, and it's running completely smooth.
FSR 2 and 3 are quite heavy on older hardware. I've made some tests on my gtx 1070ti, and fsr2.0 quality usually performs almost the same as native res. You could guess its the same with a SteamDeck.
I bought my PS3 just for MLB The Show (despite being British :) ) I bought 4 other games for it in the whole time I owned it - because I play mostly on PC. This was one of them, and it was the best reason to buy a PS4.
The first time a shader (basically a small program running on the GPU) is used, it has to compile, which can cause games to stutter any time a shader runs for the first time. To avoid this, games can pre-compile shaders at the start to avoid the stutter.
I have also not played RDR1, so I have no issues paying $50 for this game - especially an official launch with cloud saves, so I can jump between my PC and steam deck - it's well worth it for me.
GTX 960, 8600k, 16gb ram, and an HDD. about to find out how this game does on this very minimum set up lol. My home PC is a 7900xt, Ryzen 7600, 32 gb of RAM and SSD of course. Will be interested to see the difference.
I can't wait for Mods to bring this game forward maybe some new models and textures maybe they can even grab his model from RDR2 and import it into this game.
before this game released on PC I emulated it with a switch emulator. the performance was quite rough in busy places but enjoyable in general. there was some annoying input lag though.
My game did the exact same lag thing at the beginning with RX 6600, i3-12100F and 32GB DDR5 @6000MHz playing at 1440p Ultra. I haven't had any issues since.
Someone commented that this port is unoptimized because the official specs "require" a GTX 960, which is obviously a lot more powerful than the Xbox 360's GPU. But given that the game runs on at 1280x800, 60 FPS, on medium settings most of the time with a GPU that's less powerful than a GTX 960 by a good margin, on top of the application having to go through a proper OS layer to get to the GPU and using a modern API... In addition a lot of older games won't run properly if their frame rate is too fast and if you're going to start touching code on a 14 year old game to address that, you may as well just remake it entirely.
In February of this year, I pirated and played red dead 1 on Yuzu emulator. If only I had waited a bit more I could've played with a mouse and keyboard
One of the few 360 games I played to completion. Would have been happy to replay it on the Deck but not at its initial price - I might have double dipped if it was 30.
00:02 *"...I have played Red Dead Redemption II because that's a PC game..."* With respect, RDR2 is a console game that was ported to PC. The last AAA PC games were both released on 9-16-2008: Crysis: Warhead and The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. That is, unless you count Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, and Portal 2 which were _true_ multi-platform games and not what has passed for multi-platform ever since the Great Consolization of 2008 --- games conceived, designed, and coded for console hardware and the sensibilities of the console market, and then _also released_ on PC.
This game seems to be very cpu bound. On my 3060ti on 1080p ultra dlaa I often get drops down to 60fps and the GPU utilization is quite low. It seems that my r5 3600 cant really do high refresh rate in this game
I wish you compared CPU's more than focusing only on GPU, as this game is very VERY CPU bound. My Ryzen 2600 cannot hold a stable 60fps as this game seems to only use a single core. In 2024 a single core.
D3D12? I would assume this can use Vulkan, or is it just used as a translation layer? I wonder which is more performant, or if they're essentially the same.
Hmm i think no vulkan unfortunately, in order to play on the deck(steamOS/linux) it translates d3d12 to vulkan(vkd3d) which is fine but then again, personally i just find disappointing to not see vulkan.
I used to own a GTX 980 which is about the same performance as a 1060. Those cards ran very nicely at 1080p. Anything above that and the framerate would utterly collapse. So I wouldn't bother trying to run even an old game updated to modern Windows on a card like that, even with upscaling. It's a bridge too far.
The problem for me is that you don't really own games anyway on pc so you might as well get yourself used copy of x360 rdr(which runs just fine upscaled to your desired resolution and nowadays you don't need absurdly beefy pc to run this at60fps), buy yourself a key for rdr2 too and you get a much better deal at the same price probably. And quite frankly, I've played it after the second one back in March on yuzu and I won't lie. The game is fun but you really don't lose much if you watch the story on TH-cam and reason is pretty simple : it's just rdr2 with missing and less polished features. I don't regret playing rdr1 but this is the truth and I can't imagine myself paying the full price for this
I don’t think it’s such a crazy ask to recommend a 2070 since it’s a sub 200$ gpu, and according to the steam hardware survey most people have 3060s which are more than adequate.
Still have my 360 copy somewhere. I remember being satisfied/suprised by the iq despite being used to 60 fps gaming at the time. I also remember it being overrated. Not double dipping on this one.
To me it's not just that it's $50 it's that it also doesn't include half the game. RDO was fantastic, I spent so many hours in that back on the Xbox 360 in co-op missions and taking out other peoples' possies just 'cause they thought they were hot shit.
This seems like a really sub-par port for a nearly 15yo game. It ran on the Xbox 360, which had a GPU with a theoretical performance of 240 GFLOPS. The GTX 1060 is nearly 4 TFLOPS, so capable of roughly 16x the amount of compute as the Xbox 360. The Custom IBM PowerPC CPU in the 360 was a 3c/6t running at 3.2ghz, and while it had various custom enhancements like a dot product instruction, a custom prefetch instruction that allows streaming data directly to L1 cache and bypassing L2 cache, the fact is that modern CPUs run with a higher instructions-per-clock than CPUs from nearly two decades ago - each clock on a modern system is doing more work than a clock did back then. Then we have CPUs that are running at 4ghz+ as well. Something's funky about this port, they really did a lame job and half-arsed it if you ask me! EDIT: To illustrate what I'm saying more succinctly, just look at 2016's DOOM. That game looks way better and runs way better. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
This is pretty alright, up until this point if you emulated it, you needed at least similar HW to the recommended specs and it still ran worse (at least last time I checked). Wait for a sale at 20 dollars, you get a decent game. Does it have 21:9 support?
it's doing the normal Rockstar thing where all your hardware will be around 50% utilization, but somehow your framerate is like half your native refresh rate why is the headroom always so low with Rockstar games? give me all the wattage; why cant we get up to like 90% GPU on a PC? What am I doing wrong?
Wonder if it has the same audio bug as RDR2. (RDR2 was borderline unplayable for me because over time the audio would begin 'popping' and 'crackling' and would get worse over time. tried dozens of fixes and some of them only worked for a few minutes before returning.) Frankly I'm not willing to spend $70AUD to find out.
Why would you think a RTX 2070 is wrong as the recommended GPU when your 1060 hit just 75FPS at 1080p ? Are you really that confused about gaming when people game at QHD and 4k would require a RTX 2070 or even higher,
Because most casuals don’t game at QHD and 4K dingus, what universe do u live in? 1080p should be used as the standard hit resolution in the recommeded system requirements.
DX_YT_01 Who thawed you out and how long have you been frozen? 2025 is around the corner and 27" 144Hz IPS monitors are a dime a dozen these days, many people stick a pry-bar in wallet in get worthy system these days, recommended specs reflect that
Usually a game's "recommended" system requirements are for 1080p 60, sometimes at ultra, but sometimes at medium. That's fairly typical for system requirements charts. This chart didn't specify that it was for 4K 60 Ultra, although that seems to be the case from testing, and is very abnormal for a "recommended" spec target.
@@johnbowyer9815 Tell that to the Steam system survey pal, 1080p is still listed as the most used primary resolution with 55.73% today, go check it for youself, the vast majority of the player base are still on 1080p because people don’t care about 4K and 1440p, the survey proves that, therefore the system requirements should reflect that, this ain’t rocket science.
no shame in having missed a game. That said, I will continue to miss this one (online login requirement for a single player game is a solid pass for me).

This game has a weird issue, at least to me. Testing on 720p and 2160p on 60 fps lock, the GPU usage remains the same. How is that possible? Daniel, would you like to investigate this?
Rockstar's games have always been a bit funny on PC. GTA 4 is a big example. GPU usage especially was strange on that one.
GPU usage metric is sometimes not accurate, but if you check GPU power usage you will see that at 2160p it will be higher
Waiting for a UHD texture pack, can't believe they didn't remaster this game🤦♂️
honestly considering how remasters go these days that might be a good thing
Uh most remasters are just better experiences though? @roys.1889
And the ray traced lighting mods.
Why? So they can completely destroy the art direction?
Well they are at the tail end of gta 6 development so you know there going balls to the wall for that game, but honestly. Better draw distance, better fidelity, way better fps and better res is more than what I was expecting.
As a GTX 1060 user, I will definitely get this game on a sale. I loved Red Dead 2. I didn't play 1 because I didn't have a console back in the day.
Everytime Daniel changed the settings, I was going: “Please sir, disable vsync.. 😭”
Not to dissuade you from playing on the deck, but RDR2 with a mouse was a breath of fresh air. I had a really hard time aiming on the PS4 version when it released without using the auto aim or the bullet time mechanics -- it's much more intuitive with a mouse. I would imagine it will be a similar story on this game.
The problem is because Arthur's aim starts to shake a bit when you getting shot at, which is annoying so on pc you may not feel it.
@lex_vilka731 I also felt all of the movement was too sluggish. I know they were trying to simulate human movement more realistically, but it ruined the controls for me.
My game changes the GPU driver performance plan from optimal to max performance when I exit.
This makes the 3080ti consume 150 watts at 2.5k ultra instead of 100 watts. And 125 watts at any graphics settings and resolutions below full hd.
I have to change the game profile setting in the NVIDIA inspector, the power parameter every time before starting the game.
Also, the original console version was probably at 720p and not 1080p. Xbox 360 and PS3 games were upscaled to 1080, but generally rendered at 720p or below.
Finally seeing the mouse moving the camera is wild for this game.
Homie I have beat it TWICE and I'm still excited about the PC Port.
Same situation as you. Never owned a console. Loving the game and don't give a '4 X' as to the price. It runs great on my old first gen I7 chip and a 1070ti GPU. Ultra graphic settings and average 75fps. 34 inch wide screen monitor 3440X1440. No problems.
Original RDR came out while I was in the military. I bought it, and got about 1/2 way through it. But had to put it down, and just never got back to it. I'm glad to see that they put some work into it. Looking forward to spinning it up again. Buuuuut, I won't be paying 50$ for it. I've already done that once.
I don't have MSI afterburner installed, so I don't know what the frame rate is, but I have a Ryze 5900x paired with a RTX 3070, and I have everything maxed out. No upscaling, No Vsync running at 1440p, and it's running completely smooth.
FSR 2 and 3 are quite heavy on older hardware. I've made some tests on my gtx 1070ti, and fsr2.0 quality usually performs almost the same as native res. You could guess its the same with a SteamDeck.
I bought my PS3 just for MLB The Show (despite being British :) )
I bought 4 other games for it in the whole time I owned it - because I play mostly on PC.
This was one of them, and it was the best reason to buy a PS4.
5:10 the original was 2x MSAA at 720p on the 360
Thanks for these benchmark vids
RDR1 is a way better story than 2. But it will show his age, I do remember it fondly though.
I can’t wait to buy this on sale. Will run amazing on my 6750xt and my ROG Ally
the port is fantastic!!!! running on gtx 1660 @ 4k/60 fps @ high settings with no issues its buttery smooth!
You using 4K display with gtx 1660? That’s a bit weird.
2:38 .. can u tell.. us ,, what shader compilation. . 100% EXACTLY do?
The first time a shader (basically a small program running on the GPU) is used, it has to compile, which can cause games to stutter any time a shader runs for the first time. To avoid this, games can pre-compile shaders at the start to avoid the stutter.
I have also not played RDR1, so I have no issues paying $50 for this game - especially an official launch with cloud saves, so I can jump between my PC and steam deck - it's well worth it for me.

I don't get why at this point you didn't get a $10 capture card for the Steam Deck.
Link please!!
I can't wait for Mods to bring this game forward maybe some new models and textures maybe they can even grab his model from RDR2 and import it into this game.
before this game released on PC I emulated it with a switch emulator. the performance was quite rough in busy places but enjoyable in general. there was some annoying input lag though.
Fedora 41 Linux, 7700X 6600 1080p Ultra settings, rock solid 144 no FSR. Didn't experience any slow down or stuttering after three hours of play.
Wasn't this emulated with 60fps a couple of years back?
On Xenia
My game did the exact same lag thing at the beginning with RX 6600, i3-12100F and 32GB DDR5 @6000MHz playing at 1440p Ultra. I haven't had any issues since.
Someone commented that this port is unoptimized because the official specs "require" a GTX 960, which is obviously a lot more powerful than the Xbox 360's GPU. But given that the game runs on at 1280x800, 60 FPS, on medium settings most of the time with a GPU that's less powerful than a GTX 960 by a good margin, on top of the application having to go through a proper OS layer to get to the GPU and using a modern API...
In addition a lot of older games won't run properly if their frame rate is too fast and if you're going to start touching code on a 14 year old game to address that, you may as well just remake it entirely.
I played this on the OG Xbox 360 on a 60hz TV and loved it haha.
I have lag on a GTX 1070 at the start of the game when facing the bar/restaurant where you meet Jake, getting like 50 frames
Maybe it`s your cpu, I`ve seen a couple of people having an stuttering issue.

In February of this year, I pirated and played red dead 1 on Yuzu emulator. If only I had waited a bit more I could've played with a mouse and keyboard
One of the few 360 games I played to completion. Would have been happy to replay it on the Deck but not at its initial price - I might have double dipped if it was 30.
the 1060 came in 2 substantially different variants 6gb and 3gb with different cuda core counts. here he has 5.2GB free
00:02 *"...I have played Red Dead Redemption II because that's a PC game..."*
With respect, RDR2 is a console game that was ported to PC. The last AAA PC games were both released on 9-16-2008: Crysis: Warhead and The Witcher: Enhanced Edition.
That is, unless you count Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, and Portal 2 which were _true_ multi-platform games and not what has passed for multi-platform ever since the Great Consolization of 2008 --- games conceived, designed, and coded for console hardware and the sensibilities of the console market, and then _also released_ on PC.
9x the resolution with better graphics at 30fps vs 360/PS3 is about what you’d expect from a GTX 1060.
Depends on the game. Bioshock was also 720p30 on consoles but a 1060 can do like 4K 100 fps.
I bought it on pre-order in Lebanon via VPN - 8.39 USD as far as I remember :).
DLAA on PC makes the game look amazing. With HDR is a good graphical upgrade.
FSR cutting performance from 90 fps to 74 is crazy.
Can't wait to play this on Integrated Graphics
This game seems to be very cpu bound. On my 3060ti on 1080p ultra dlaa I often get drops down to 60fps and the GPU utilization is quite low. It seems that my r5 3600 cant really do high refresh rate in this game
Are you going to release a performance analysis for the Monster Hunter Wilds beta, especially after its minimum specs.
I already did
Would you not be better using a downclocked rx550 or something to gauge portable performance? the steamdeck is weaker than a 1050 and rx 550
Would Daniel do a remaster vs emulator comparison?
I wish you compared CPU's more than focusing only on GPU, as this game is very VERY CPU bound. My Ryzen 2600 cannot hold a stable 60fps as this game seems to only use a single core. In 2024 a single core.
D3D12? I would assume this can use Vulkan, or is it just used as a translation layer? I wonder which is more performant, or if they're essentially the same.
Hmm i think no vulkan unfortunately, in order to play on the deck(steamOS/linux) it translates d3d12 to vulkan(vkd3d) which is fine but then again, personally i just find disappointing to not see vulkan.
I used to own a GTX 980 which is about the same performance as a 1060. Those cards ran very nicely at 1080p. Anything above that and the framerate would utterly collapse. So I wouldn't bother trying to run even an old game updated to modern Windows on a card like that, even with upscaling. It's a bridge too far.
How would you think it would perform on 1080p ultra settings with a GTX 1080 and an i7-4790k?
The problem for me is that you don't really own games anyway on pc so you might as well get yourself used copy of x360 rdr(which runs just fine upscaled to your desired resolution and nowadays you don't need absurdly beefy pc to run this at60fps), buy yourself a key for rdr2 too and you get a much better deal at the same price probably.
And quite frankly, I've played it after the second one back in March on yuzu and I won't lie.
The game is fun but you really don't lose much if you watch the story on TH-cam and reason is pretty simple : it's just rdr2 with missing and less polished features.
I don't regret playing rdr1 but this is the truth and I can't imagine myself paying the full price for this
You're right. I regret playijng it until the end.
I don’t think it’s such a crazy ask to recommend a 2070 since it’s a sub 200$ gpu, and according to the steam hardware survey most people have 3060s which are more than adequate.
Unreal engine 5: hold my beer
You don't say 6:54
Still have my 360 copy somewhere. I remember being satisfied/suprised by the iq despite being used to 60 fps gaming at the time. I also remember it being overrated. Not double dipping on this one.
I was shocked when i see this price tag on a ported game not even remake worth buying only when over 75% off for me until then 🏴☠️
The min gpu are the lowest binned from each respective vendor that fully supports dx12.
i like the idea of dynamic resolution under fsr upscaler, too bad it won't work
To me it's not just that it's $50 it's that it also doesn't include half the game. RDO was fantastic, I spent so many hours in that back on the Xbox 360 in co-op missions and taking out other peoples' possies just 'cause they thought they were hot shit.
how does it run compared to 2?
15 years old game ((( Were 1050TI test ??? Comon you can made it !
thanks for including the steam deck
It runs very well even on my i3 4130 with a 1060 but can be better if they released some performance fixes
looks like it runs well. waiting for a sale. 1440p gtx 1070.
This seems like a really sub-par port for a nearly 15yo game. It ran on the Xbox 360, which had a GPU with a theoretical performance of 240 GFLOPS. The GTX 1060 is nearly 4 TFLOPS, so capable of roughly 16x the amount of compute as the Xbox 360. The Custom IBM PowerPC CPU in the 360 was a 3c/6t running at 3.2ghz, and while it had various custom enhancements like a dot product instruction, a custom prefetch instruction that allows streaming data directly to L1 cache and bypassing L2 cache, the fact is that modern CPUs run with a higher instructions-per-clock than CPUs from nearly two decades ago - each clock on a modern system is doing more work than a clock did back then. Then we have CPUs that are running at 4ghz+ as well. Something's funky about this port, they really did a lame job and half-arsed it if you ask me!
EDIT: To illustrate what I'm saying more succinctly, just look at 2016's DOOM. That game looks way better and runs way better. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
I'm glad somebody is saying it! This is some lazy shit.
@@brando3342 I was sleep deprived and way-off on my math. The 1060 is 16x greater theoretical performance!!! This port is half-arsed-atrocious.
This is pretty alright, up until this point if you emulated it, you needed at least similar HW to the recommended specs and it still ran worse (at least last time I checked). Wait for a sale at 20 dollars, you get a decent game. Does it have 21:9 support?
it's doing the normal Rockstar thing where all your hardware will be around 50% utilization, but somehow your framerate is like half your native refresh rate
why is the headroom always so low with Rockstar games?
give me all the wattage; why cant we get up to like 90% GPU on a PC? What am I doing wrong?
50 bucks seems kinda high for a 14 year old game that just got ported with some additional graphic changes. Like its not even a remaster.
Wonder if it has the same audio bug as RDR2. (RDR2 was borderline unplayable for me because over time the audio would begin 'popping' and 'crackling' and would get worse over time. tried dozens of fixes and some of them only worked for a few minutes before returning.)
Frankly I'm not willing to spend $70AUD to find out.
Why would you think a RTX 2070 is wrong as the recommended GPU when your 1060 hit just 75FPS at 1080p ? Are you really that confused about gaming when people game at QHD and 4k would require a RTX 2070 or even higher,
Some purport great knowledge while clearly missing the basics.
Because most casuals don’t game at QHD and 4K dingus, what universe do u live in? 1080p should be used as the standard hit resolution in the recommeded system requirements.
DX_YT_01 Who thawed you out and how long have you been frozen? 2025 is around the corner and 27" 144Hz IPS monitors are a dime a dozen these days, many people stick a pry-bar in wallet in get worthy system these days, recommended specs reflect that
Usually a game's "recommended" system requirements are for 1080p 60, sometimes at ultra, but sometimes at medium. That's fairly typical for system requirements charts. This chart didn't specify that it was for 4K 60 Ultra, although that seems to be the case from testing, and is very abnormal for a "recommended" spec target.
@@johnbowyer9815 Tell that to the Steam system survey pal, 1080p is still listed as the most used primary resolution with 55.73% today, go check it for youself, the vast majority of the player base are still on 1080p because people don’t care about 4K and 1440p, the survey proves that, therefore the system requirements should reflect that, this ain’t rocket science.
Maybe some Graphics mods and such will hit the mark for Mid to High tier GPU owners Satisfaction...
no shame in having missed a game. That said, I will continue to miss this one (online login requirement for a single player game is a solid pass for me).
