How Red Dead Redemption 2 runs on the Radeon RX 580

Our estimate puts the Radeon RX 580 at about 35 fps on High at 1080p in Red Dead Redemption 2, which means it runs only on reduced settings. On Low the same card manages about 66 fps, and on Ultra about 25.

The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.

For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: Low (about 66 fps); 1440p: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 48 fps on Low; 4K: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 26 fps on Low.

Settings advice

Red Dead Redemption 2 lists 8 GB of RAM (recommending 12 GB) and a processor of the Intel Core i7-4770K class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the Radeon RX 580, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.

The cheapest card we list that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p is an Arc A580 (launch price $179), and until then upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if Red Dead Redemption 2 offers it) and one resolution step down are the biggest wins.
