Red Dead Redemption 2 GTX 1080ti Performance

[StephenHolts]

Hi There Everyone.

 

I was hoping someone could help me with Understanding some Performance issues im having on Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1080P

 

I understand the game is demanding and requires a beefy PC to run at High Ultra, But i just want toi find out if the frame drops in certain areas are normal. I will give my Full PC specs at the end with the settings im currently running at.

 

Possible SPOILERS below! ! ! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I noticed my first FPS drops when you and your crew decide to go rob the Train and you go from the snow to the Grass, i dropped from a stable Vsync on 60Fps to low 50s.

2nd part is when you and everyone decide to leave for the next town and your wagon wheel breaks, again when im riding the wagon just before it breaks im dropping to low 50s.

 

If it is just maybe very certain areas that tend to be VERY demanding i understand, i am just hoping that it is not most areas when you out in the wild as the drop in frames really distracts from the actual enjoyment of the game.

 

Both the above parts are basically very early on in the game as i have only purchased it Yesterday.

 

Any Help or information would be greatly appreciated.

I'm willing to drop some settings if the Visual Quality will not be effected greatly.

Not surprised, Pascal cards (and I presume, older Nvidia cards as well) take a big hit in performance compared to the newer Turing cards or AMD cards (at least on Vega, Navi and Polaris)

You should able to run way above 60fps in ultra. 

I have a 980ti and have 45fps with higher settings than you in 1440p.
