That CPU limited benchmark is actually very interesting. Having the PS4 code run at 70fps or more is pretty great. A properly optimized port would run way better though.

The traversal stutters found in St. Denis are a result of streaming limits set by the developer. There exists a mod which eliminates these entirely, at a cost of higher VRAM usage.

[@NoEvilEye]

They should release a proper upgrade for ps5 pro, i don’t mind paying $10 to upgrade my ps4 version.

[@kriss5081]

Why give you upgrade for $10 if they can charge you $60 a bit later with above-medium PC settings.

I just don’t think Rockstar realizes that they could remake RDR2 as many times as they did GTA5, and I’m buying it every single time.

[@frankynakamoto2308]

Rockstar needs to add a next gen expansion with new animations, more content, new missions, and also a ray tracing 30fps option in the expansion, with a frame unlock mode as well. They sell the expansion and everyone wins..

[@notBrocker]

Lmao that’s never happening buddy gta 5 also didn’t have new missions We’ll be lucky if there will ever be an upgrade for ps5 users

[@WhiteWolfTechGaming]

6:38 RDR2 on PC has had stuttering issues for as long as I can recall. I've played over 350hrs of RDR2 on PC. When I saved up a lot of money to spoil myself on a better and beefier PC, hoping it would eliminate stuttering altogether in this game, I was only left disappointed with the stuttering still being present. (I didn't upgrade my PC just for this game). I have a 4090, 13900K, 64GB of DDR5 at 5600, and a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro - hardware surely cannot be the issue here. I have tried deep diving the issue on the internet and tried out DF's optimized settings, using DLSS/FSR when those were added in, limiting the framerate, changing from fullscreen to borderless windowed, vsync on/off, fastsync on/off, gsync on/off, even went into the system.xml file to manually change async to "true," and also tried out DX12 and Vulkan. The traversal stuttering the PC version has is something that's only on PC, and Rockstar has never tried to resolve the issue. As I'm fully aware, Rockstar's number one priority with their games is focusing on console optimization and nothing with PC's.

[@HonestTraveller]

Just give us 60 FPS ffs

[@rocko8544]

Thanks for the settings refresh. I’m able to run the quality mode settings at a stable 60fps on my rig at 4k. Game looks great!

[@DarshUK1]

They might not want people to get used to 60fps if GTA6 is 30fps next year

[@uh0p]

Interesting theory but wouldn’t they just implement a performance/fidelity mode?

[@Foreverlost598]

Nah because gta 5 has 60fps with raytracing mode.

[@curiousmind_]

They're just not the kind to release a 60fps patch. Maybe they will release a remastered version otherwise it will most likely stay that way. And GTA 6 is going to be 30fps no doubt and no, they won't have a performance and fidelity mode.

[@Largentina.]

But V already has 60 fps. So there goes that theory.

[@Jay123-yk4pl]

Rdr1 is 60 fps lmao once you play it that way you won’t be able to go back to rdr2 being 30 fps

[@NikTek]

Rockstar will probably hold off until an Expanded and Enhanced edition to give Gamers FPS and Resolution unlock, then sell it for 60$

[@Kees_Hazyvill1991]

It's such a beautiful game and still no next-gen patch for this... it's unbelievable...

[@battfinkz]

Literally still one of the best ever looking games, simply stunning, it doesn't need a remaster, 60fps would be all I'd want

[@VincentVanBro]

Replaying it at maximum settings locked at 120 fps with DLDSR rendering at 2.25x native res and then downscaling to 4k. It creates an incredibly sharp image that shows off the astounding detail in the game. Best way to play period, but it essentially requires a 4090.

[@3n3j0t4]

what’s ur native res

[@luuketaylor]

Thank you for this, Rich. I have a friend who is adamant that 60fps is impossible on PS5, and I've been saying for years (thanks to DF) that it absolutely is. Great technical breakdown and admonishment of Rockstar.

[@art_connor_74]

I love this game so much but the only way I will be playing it again will be if we get a 60fps upgrade.

[@kevinminer857]

I have both current-gen consoles and played RDR2 on Series X; there is one good thing about back-compatability mode -- it doesn't take up 140GB on expensive fast storage. If MS and Sony only required fast storage where it makes sense, or if Rockstar patched it via One X / PS 4 version with FPS boost, I'd replay it in 60fps.

[@nono206]

Sad to see that Digital Foundry doesn’t dare to say the real reason behind this mess : we all know why we haven’t got a 60 fps patch, it’s because Rockstar is the greediest company in the video game industry

[@nader91]

exactly this... tip toeing around it is lame.

[@btwiusearch2]

exactly it will take 5 minutes for rockstar to remove the 30fps limit to 60 for ps5 and xbox series s and x but they won't ever do it because they don't care about red dead only gta becaues gta prints more money

[@Lordbugbug]

even if Rich literally said that in the video, companies do not have feelings about being seen as greedy lol

[@mach3wgamer]

Do you want them to slander a company that's worth billions? That's why it's implied.

[@Peanut-Butter-Banana-Rama]

No, Treyarch, Activision and EA take the crown for greed. Just look how priced decade old games are. Absolutely disgustingly greedy.

[@mach3wgamer]

I've held off playing rdr2 hoping it will be patched for 60fps on ps5. I don't know how long I can wait to play this masterpiece.

[@jefp65]

I like how Rich is trying to shame Rockstar into doing this. Doubt it will work though. Rockstar just don't give a f**k.

[@majinzombiegenocider]

Well, it sorta worked with RDR1 on PS4. If you remember, there was big backlash on how they didn’t even bother to update the frame rate to 60. Then, a video went up on KZbin in which a hacked Switch was running it flawlessly at 60fps. Several weeks later, Rockstar quietly patched in a 60fps mode to the PS5 version. So, there is some hope if their laziness gets enough bad press

[@niveketihw1897]

We finally said to heck with it and started RDR2 on our PS5 a couple of weeks ago when it hit PSN Plus. My wife claims not to notice that it's only 30 fps, but she would notice if we ever got a 60 fps patch. We still have our 2009 TV -- 1080p single lamp LCD -- yes, I know -- but it still looks brilliant at 1080p and the 60 fps just makes sense...

Its actually mind blowing we still cant play RDR2 with 60fps on ps5 .. its a damn shame that Rockstar doesnt care anymore about their player and fanbase. They really changed and this is pretty sad. Once a S+ Quality Publisher but now only about Money. They doesnt care anymore. Damn i would actually pay good money for a damn 60fps Patch just to play that game again without a headache. The first time i played rdr2 was on pc and 120 fps and tbh its a completely different game on Ps5 with only 30fps. I just cant enjoy the game and only play for couple minutes until i stop again. I cant understand why they dont Listen anymore… crazy

Your gonna be waiting for a while then buddy, probably will be waiting your whole life because the chances of Rockstar never delivering a update for the frame rate to unlock or even a slight bump in visuals is possible as well. Like the other poster said, I would play it if I were you, despite it being 30FPS it still a amazing game. Although the Xbox version is the definitive version if you want the best visuals in performance since they run the game in native 4K while PS runs it 4k checkerboard.

[@REDA-SB]

You guys have to contact Rockstar and let them know about this request on the behalf of all fans

[@NeonReaperMkVII]

It just shows how far from reality those Developers are from real gamers. A RDR 2 60 fps game would sell good, don't even make an update. Just sell it again for $15 bucks or something, even this scam would sell good. Same goes for Bloodborne, it's stupid that those games don't have 60 fps. Someone up there just doesn't see any money in it and thinks people don't care about 60 fps. I can't play RDR 2/Bloodborne with 30 fps, this stuttering just kills every fun for me, it looks and feels awful. I never rly played RDR2 because of it and never touched Bloodborne, same goes for Dragon's Dogma 2, 30 fps? No thanks!

[@curiousmind_]

Frame rate isn't an issue for me as long as the frame times are right too, stable. My eyes adapt rather fast thank God

[@NeonReaperMkVII]

@@curiousmind_ Frame-Time is a is also a big deal. 3:26 min. runs worst and "stutters" compared to 2:40 min. If a game as bad Frame-Time and is 30 fps locked and it's over, I feel like I'm at 20 fps. That's why I always lock my fps in any game, letting your fps go wild is never a good idea. FPS Shooter should all have 120 fps and any other game 60 fps that's all I'm asking after 120 fps I don't see any difference I only feel it sometimes in input delay.
