Red Dead Redemption 2 at a glance
Red Dead Redemption 2 is an open world game from 2019. The recommended graphics listed by the Steam store page: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB / AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB. It asks for 12 GB of RAM (minimum 8 GB).
Our estimate: you need about a GTX 980 Ti for a steady 60 FPS at 1080p High, while a GTX 750 Ti can hold around 30 FPS on Low. The game is moderately demanding on the processor; a Core i5-9600K or better keeps up with 60 FPS.
