Just caught RDR2 on Steam sale and it’s truly unbelievable how this 5 year old game looks on a newer PC.

    Agreed! I built a new machine around six months ago and RDR2 was the first game I played. I couldn’t believe how good things looked in 1440p with a decent framerate.

    5 YEARS? it feels like it was barley a year ago…

  3. LOL you just reminded me, I put it in my steam cart yesterday, need to buy and install it.

  4. It’s a wonderful game, very beautiful.. truly a masterpiece

    I’m loving it too, just got it recently. Looks incredible on my 1440p 40” Ultrawide.

    Battlefield 1 still looks and runs better in my opinion(it running better isn’t opinion though)

    Finished it about a week ago. Absolutely incredible game. Possibly the best game.

    Your rear fan is set as intake, I recommend flipping it the other way to optimize airflow…

    playing it on PS5 I just got, looks amazing

    There’s an R2D2 game that’s five years old? How did I miss this??

    Oh wait…

  11. Cool. Now try Cyberpunk or Alan Wake 2 on max settings.

    I bought this too. Couldn’t get past the activation error

    Best game I’ve ever played. Easily my #1 most played by a couple hundred hours.

    I really do believe that RDR2 with a Path Tracing Patch would be the best, most photorealistic game we ever had and will have for the foreseeable future. It would also murder my 4090. It would basically be a game for the next generation of GPUs (about a year from now).

    Do I need to play rdr before rdr2? Seriously interested in trying it.

    Yet here we are to believe we need a 4080ti to play anything thst looks that good. Games are lagging hard amd the lack of optimization in newer games is proof

    Ive had this game 3 years ago and got bored when i played it. Im currently giving it another try and starting to get the hang of it. Playing this game with 4090 and Neo G8 monitor is just a master piece experience. Hdr kind of boosted the experience even more. I find myself travelling in a slow paced just to sight seeing.

    It’s a masterpiece, nothing else to add.

  19. This game runs comfortably on a 1060/RX580 at 1080p… Let that sink in, i just can’t excuse newer games looking worse and running even worse.

  20. Graphics haven’t really upgraded in the last 5 years, we only got some minor lighting changes over a decade.

  21. Hopefully it doesn’t crash. Also it’s only 4 years old on PC

    Remember to use DLDSR/+ DLSS as this game has one of the worst AA implementations I’ve seen, unless you are at 4K.
