Red Dead Redemption 2 on Radeon RX 9070 XT
Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%
Yes. The Radeon RX 9070 XT is well above Red Dead Redemption 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~289 fps at 1080p high (range 231–300+, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~202 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 16 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: ultra 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 9070 XT back.
- Processor needed for ~289 fps: Ryzen 9 9900X3D 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 289.
Video memory
- Radeon RX 9070 XT: 16 GB
- Minimum spec: 2 GB (+14 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 6 GB (+10 GB headroom)
