Rockstar has released the first PC screenshots for Red Dead Redemption 2. In addition, the team has also revealed the game’s PC exclusive graphical features. And in case you’re wondering, no; there is no mention for any real-time ray tracing support.
The game will feature new graphical and technical enhancements for deeper immersion. These include increased draw distances for better navigation, higher quality global illumination and ambient occlusion for improved day and night lighting, and higher quality snow trails. Furthermore, the game will have improved reflections and deeper, higher resolution shadows at all distances. Tessellated tree textures and improved grass and fur textures will be also added for extra realism.
It’s also worth noting that the PC version will offer HDR support, as well as 4K (and higher) resolution support. The game will also support multi-monitor configurations, widescreen configurations, faster frame rates and more.
According to the team, Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC aims to take full advantage of the power of the PC. As such, we hope that NVIDIA and Rockstar will announce support for RT in the future. Do note that we are no biased here as we honestly believe that RDR2 PC will benefit from some ray tracing effects. I mean, if you are stating that you’ll take full advantage of the power of the PC, you should be offering Ray Tracing effects (which are exclusive right now to the PC). Not only that, but AMD’s future hardware may support them via the DXR API.
Lastly, you can find the game’s PC system requirements here.
Enjoy the following screenshots and stay tuned for more!

60 fps is the real game changer here. It looked great even on consoles, but that framerate really took the fun out of shooting. It was very unresponsive. I even had to use aim assist.
Hopefully it feels better on the PC (I’m sure it will).
60 fps in 2019 lmao
It’s better than that cinematic RTX 48 fps.
Shuddup t0osser .
Nah.
Shuddup to**er .
Yea 60 fps 4k mate, i wouldn’t have it any other way. Go back to your 144 plus fps and low resolutions. I wont move from 4K anytime soon. Plus, singleplayer games dont really need more than 60 fps, it aint CoD or battlefield matieboy.
I usually play at 1440p/90 or 120 fps personally, even in single player games.
Motion resolution is a thing too you know. It doesn’t matter what resolution you’re pushing if it smears every time you move the camera.
Which is why we need even higher frame rates and why I Target 90fps minimum.
True true, i dont argue with that one, because my older TV made it very smeary and blurry, but this new TV that i own is perfectly fine. It aint no CRT, but its actually good enough. I used to game on my CRT until a few years ago for FPS games, then i got 144 hz monitor with ULMB and i finally retired my CRT. I get it, i have tried everything you can try in screen-tech from 1999 till today. If we follow that logic lets just all get CRT at 120 hz at 24 inch and call it a day. Eurogamer had a whole article on how amazing and better that looks. I dont doubt it either, but screen size is too tiny for me. Imagine 50-70 inch CRT? That thing will be as big as your house haha. Anyways..
I still prefer an OLED with low ms and 4K and also a huge size. Its way way way cooler,immersive and epic and not as horrible as people think as far as blur and lag go. Those new BFG gaming TV’s that are just coming out however look REALLY tasty so i might give those a go. Seems to give you high hz,OLED and 4K. Now we just need newer GPU’s that don’t cost an arm and can push 4K past 60 fps
P.s. Same for phones. Rather use 60 fps on phone than 90 or 120. Battery waste and all. Might be cool when you are plugged in for some games and stuff, but as far as mobile devices on the go…go, nope.
Yea, i got a 85 hz CRT and it looks sooo good, so you are right for sure. Even when i turn it down to 60 hz for higher ress, it still looks very sharp.
Even on CRT, it was better @ 75HZ +
“singleplayer games dont really need more than 60 fps”
smh
Well of course they do need more, but its all about trade-offs.
I got 144 hz too, so high hz is amazing too, i ain’t saying its not.. but honestly rather have super crisp image that melts my eyes at 60 fps than 144 hz at lower resolution.
When 4K at 144 hz becomes cheap enough (aka GPUs don’t cost over 1500$) and the monitors don’t cost crazy high much (at decent size) then i will probably go to 144 hz again. People say 144 hz is hard to go away from once you try it, meanwhile i say the same thing about 4K. I can’t go back anymore but thats just my taste. As i said, i’m hooked to both 144 and 60 fps screens and i use the 60 hz 4K screen 99% more often.
at some point you have to trade off between visuals and fps. 60fps is enough as a standard for devs to target. If it becomes 120 fps, all PC games will look like sh*t compared to console.
>2019
>Thinking that 4K60FPS is superior to 144Hz 144FPS 😀
WOW
Yep much WOW indeed. It looks mind-blowingly good On a huge TV with low ms and OLED, i cant ever go back to a tiny monitor with crappy dirty screen effects, or IPS glow/banding problems.
Plus, i got a 144 hz babysized monitor too (27 inch) for shooters, and i often use it for competitive gaming. 90 % of my gaming time however goes to the real life like 4K visuals on the HUGE screen.
Either way im right and you are wrong, is this how this bs online war works?
LOL the joke…..
2K 100fps+ > 4K 60 fps
frame rate and controls.
no the real game changer if flying around as ironman zapping all those cowboys.
30 fps ? Let me puke
Well worth the wait, and PC once again wins out against their significantly lesser counterpart! Improved performance will only be a massive benefit as well as modding. Can’t wait for this.

You can jump off that bridge now, peasant.
Fuak off .

u mad again bro
Is this yet another one of Kim’s accounts?
This crazy b*tch again? Where the f*ck do all these insane people come from??
kys
Cant wait for the mods that will replace Arthur with trevor or Michael…
weak.
meh game. rdr1 was better but they refuse to port it. maybe when they need more people downloading there installer they will. its the only reason rdr2 is coming to pc. so you can install more spyware stores. steam and epic is all you need. screw the rest.
RDR1 has f**ked up code, that’s the reason. Otherwise there would be PC, PS4, Switch, XOne versions long ago.
Damn that looks so good. Worth a purchase for the visuals alone.
i want the first one
first one is garbage compared to this.
i want the story
that’s because you’re autistic.
I hope you guys like a 1 hour tutorial where you slowly follow some poorly written unlikeable NPCs.
Sure do!!
The lighting in this game looks amazing.
textures look like sand paper like they always do in games made with rage engine.
although i prefer them this way instead of oily and wet look that they have in a game like witcher 3.
why don’t you post the images in 4k? to see them in 4k you have to go and get them on the Rockstar website
His data limits probably.
Excellent!
Looking good!
Can’t wait to hunt down Godzilla with my lighsaber while flying with my Pegasus.
Another exclusive feature is how the game makes a huge hole into your hard disk or SSD lol. Seeing how cool the game is, it might be a permanent one.
Hope it’s not exclusive to their shit!y launcher.
