Below minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

No. The GeForce GTX 650 is below Red Dead Redemption 2's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 770). Our model still estimates ~26 fps at 1080p low (range 21–32, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB (~64 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

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 650 back.
Processor needed for ~26 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, ~16 fps.

Video memory

GeForce GTX 650: 1 GB
