Graphics card (GPU)
Not a limit on most PCs
Even a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 57 FPS at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
Red Dead Online recommends a Core i7-4770K or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Red Dead Online, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
2 GB min · 6 GB rec
The minimum spec lists 2 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 6 GB. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.
Settings to lower first in Red Dead Online
- 1Nothing, on a dedicated graphics card: even a budget card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
- 2On integrated graphics, lower the resolution or render scale first. Intel Iris Xe averages about 26 FPS at 1080p.
- 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 6 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
