Red Dead Redemption at a glance
Red Dead Redemption is an open world game that came out on PC on October 29, 2024. The recommended graphics listed by the Steam store page: NVIDIA RTX 2070 / AMD RX 5700 XT. It asks for 8 GB of RAM (minimum 8 GB).
Our estimate: you need about an RX 6600 for a steady 60 FPS at 1080p High, while a GTX 1050 Ti can hold around 30 FPS on Low. The game is moderately demanding on the processor; a Core i5-8600K or better keeps up with 60 FPS. On basic Intel UHD 630 graphics expect only about 6 FPS on Low, so a dedicated graphics card makes a big difference.
