Red Dead Redemption 2 is a 2018 action-adventure game developed and published by Rockstar Games. The game is the third entry in the Red Dead series and is a prequel to the 2010 game Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption 2 was released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October 2018, and for Microsoft Windows and Stadia in November 2019. (Wikipedia).
Engine: Rockstar Advance Game Engine (RAGE). We test by manually selecting High settings, not using a preset, including TAA, Vulkan API.
When testing Red Dead Redemption 2, using High settings at 4K, we appear to be running into limitations other than the GPU itself – performance of the RTX 3090 is hardly any faster than some of the factory overclocked RTX 3080 cards we have reviewed, even when testing at 4K.
We re-benchmarked this game, but this time with image quality cranked to Ultra, and that does help somewhat. The MSI RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio is now 11% faster than the RTX 3080 at 4K, which is more in line with our other results. We will be re-testing the rest of our GPUs with Ultra settings going forward, to make sure we’re not hitting bottlenecks elsewhere.
