How Red Dead Redemption 2 runs on the Radeon RX 9070 XT

Our estimate puts the Radeon RX 9070 XT at about 212 fps on High at 1080p in Red Dead Redemption 2, which means it runs comfortably. On Low the same card manages about 300+ fps, and on Ultra about 152.

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: Ultra (about 152 fps); 1440p: Ultra (about 110 fps); 4K: Ultra (about 61 fps).

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 9070 XT, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.

For reference, the next card up in our list, the GeForce RTX 4090, is estimated at 300+ fps on High at 1080p, so you have room to raise settings or resolution on the Radeon RX 9070 XT.
