Nvidia's recommendations for the best GeForce graphics cards for Red Dead Redemption 2
In addition to the new driver update, Nvidia has also issued recommendations for the best GeForce graphics cards for Red Dead Redemption 2. There is a suitable recommendation for all settings and thus also price ranges. According to Nvidia, the GeForce GTX 1060 recommended by Rockstar is not optimal for 60 frames per second, but the GeForce RTX 2060. However, you should also get a perfect Full HD image with high graphic settings. For WQHD (2,560 x 1,440 pixels or 1440p), Nvidia recommends an RTX 2070 Super. Those who want to play in UHD (3,840 x 2,160 pixels, also known as 4K) should opt for an RTX 2080 Ti.
In short, here are Nvidia's recommendations:
Screen resolution in pixels - graphic setting - recommended card
3840 x 2160 - Medium to high - GeForce RTX 2080 Ti on Amazon from around 1,130 €
2560 x 1440 - High - GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER on Amazon from around 560 €
After a dataminer discovered hints of the Rockstar Editor in the Companion App of Red Dead Redemption 2, there are now speculations about the release. The feature will not make it into the game for the PC release of RDR 2 on November 5th, 2019. However, we assume that both the PC version and the PS4 and Xbox One versions will receive the Rockstar Editor later this year. A possible scenario would be if the editor comes out with the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam. The PC version of the game is scheduled to come to Valve's Steam gaming platform in December 2019, just in time for the Christmas shopping season. The Rockstar Editor allows you to take screenshots directly in the game, without the need for any additional program. The editor offers the possibility to record, edit and share the finished videos in both story mode and GTA Online. A special feature of the Rockstar Editor is the Director Mode, in which you can not only stage creative film scenes, but also have a wide selection of actors and props. This way you can make known faces from the GTA story, passers-by or animals do exactly what you want. Of course, these videos can also be shared later on YouTube or in the Rockstar Games Social Club. An overview of the Rockstar Editor is offered by Rockstar itself on the official website or in the official YouTube video. In addition to all the news for the PC version of RDR 2, there are of course also new things for the console versions. In this case it is about the latest update for the Red Dead Redemption PS4 version from 04 November 2019. This update is a total of 3.2 GB large and Rockstar has not really published much information about this. So the official patch notes only read "General / Miscellaneous - Various stability improvements". Starting tomorrow, you could finally play Red Dead Redemption 2 on your PC. If you don't have a Red Dead Redemption 2 PC key yet, we've got the best deals currently for the game.Rockstar Editor for Red Dead Redemption 2 possibly in December?
