Red Dead Redemption 2 on Radeon RX 5700 XT

Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The Radeon RX 5700 XT is well above Red Dead Redemption 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~120 fps at 1080p high (range 96–144, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~84 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 6 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · medium confidence, ±20%

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: ultra preset
60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
144 fps at 1080p: medium preset

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 5700 XT back.
Processor needed for ~120 fps: Core i5-9400F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i7-4770K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 120.

Video memory

Radeon RX 5700 XT: 8 GB
Minimum spec: 2 GB (+6 GB headroom)
Recommended spec: 6 GB (+2 GB headroom)
