Red Dead Redemption 2 on GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Yes. The GeForce GTX 1060 6GB meets Red Dead Redemption 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~62 fps at 1080p high (range 50–75, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the low preset (~44 fps on high). Its 6 GB of video memory covers the 6 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: high preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: low preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB back.
- Processor needed for ~62 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-4770K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~62 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1060 6GB: 6 GB
- Minimum spec: 2 GB (+4 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 6 GB (+0 GB headroom)
