RDR2

[Wingfan]

Ive never played a Red so its a ll new to me. The new one looks beautiful, price is meh, and the bugs of been reading about (few driver updates make fix that)
I play on a 4790K, 16GB, 1070 G1, and a few SSd,s

Will it still look nice with settings turned down?

 

What are the Pros and Cons of this game? (except being on Epic)

[SkilledRebuilds]

Demanding Game - but if you TUNE settings for a VeryHighQuality radius around the player, and let the details fall off over distance it'll run fine without you thinking its the next "Can it run Crysis"

 

Really should Start here, setting values vs Console and how your mindset carries forward with this information in the video and setting variables accordingly.. You'd maybe not expect Xbox1X to have a lower than low setting... the game scales RATHER WELL, for those not needing their preset to say Ultra so they can tell their friends such things.... you can run it on way lesser hardware, but sacrifices must be made.

 

Best bit, SO many options, can finetune some of it really well.

Then maybe here...

Lets put it this way.. I have a 2080ti and I cant run it on ultra at 1440p.. gives me FPS in the 30s. Have to turn everything down to high to get FPS in the 65-80. You can buy it directly from Rockstar or wait until December when it will be available on Steam.

 

That said, This is also my first Red Dead game as well. The gameplay if amazing. Has an amazing story, great characters and character development throughout the story. It is very very long story, but worth every second of it so far. That said, I do have a TON of problems with it crashing even to this day. I am on the latest Nvidia drivers, 441.20 and latest BIOS for my board as well that includes the 1.0.0.4b agesa update. I have only played the story mode so far though so it could be different in the online world since thats server based and not local client as much.

games nowadays actually look pretty even in low settings. but not as pretty as high though.

What is the bopttleneck? The GPU or CPU?

not RDR2 IMO. Its a huge quality drop off from high to low. I tried it the other day and couldnt stand it after about 10 minutes and switched back just to test that.

In this case, it would be the GPU because the game is just that demanding.

Admittedly, he likely didn't mean Textures at all... as thats a HUGE change from Ultra to High even makes it look soupy.

[Jurrunio]

1. Currently buggy, sometimes refuses to launch and could crash during gameplay

 

2. Extremely demanding, I'm thinking about running 720p instead with my laptop 1060

GPU more so than CPU. CPU usage is pretty reasonable for an open world AAA game, we've seen worse (Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey)

A 2o8oTi is way out of much budget. Have to replace this core system first (CPU, Board, RAM, M.2) thats only half the price of that card. GPU's usuallu going on sale after the Holidays, and maybe a bigger NAVI will be out,

@Skiiwee29 Have you seen the "higher frame rate = higher food consumption" bug?

Have not.... Ive heard of a bug in the online for getting like unlimited xp and cash, but not seen anything on the story mode side. 

[Wingfan]

So looking at his , the GPU is the bottleneck?

 

[Skiiwee29]

I would say no.. your GPU majority of the time is only in the 70-80% utilization, which is usually indicative of a CPU bottleneck, but not always.

cuz my friend is always like "Arthur eats so much without getting fat, I want to be like him" every time we go out for food

I cant see your CPU usage so I can't tell

[Vishera]

For the 1070 i recommend High settings 1080p like in the Gamers Nexus video:

My mistake, thre graph doesnt show CPU usage. I have one i think, ill look. CPU is barely 50%

Gamers Nexus got more than 60 FPS on the 2600K so you should have no problem.

[Wingfan]

Ill do i quick one.

I get over 100+ FPS, tweated settings so it wil go above game restricted FPS

[Wingfan]

Heres some game play. CPU is considerably lower.

100FPS and 50% GPU usages... without an fps cap,...
Settings either too low and the game struggles providing more internally,.. and the Memory bandwidth of your System memory may be holding you back I'm not 100% sure...

Yup. And you can bump up the settings that don't affect fps much.

Aside from the Pro of being on Epic, here's a very decent Pros and Cons video of the game itself...
