System Requirements That Won’t Break the Bank
When considering a game that’s nearly fourteen years old, it’s pretty sweet to see that even older gaming rigs can run RDR. Rockstar has shared that it merely requires a GPU as ancient as the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 or the AMD Radeon R7 360. Both of these cards are pushing ten years old, yet they’re still adequate to unleash the full Wild West experience. If you’re looking for a smoother ride, bolstering your setup with an RTX 2070, RX 5700 XT, or something similarly beefy is recommended.
Check out the complete spec sheet for RDR below:
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Intel Core i5-4670 / AMD FX-9590 | Intel Core i5-8500 / AMD Ryzen 5 3500X |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 / AMD Radeon R7 360 | NVIDIA RTX 2070 / AMD RX 5700 XT |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 8 GB RAM |
| Storage | 12 GB HDD | 12 GB SSD |
| OS | Windows 10 64-Bit | Windows 10 64-Bit |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Sound Card | Direct X-Compatible | Direct X-Compatible |
To ensure the best gameplay experience, an SSD is recommended but not mandatory. This straightforward port of Red Dead Redemption is great news for gamers with older hardware who want to relive the chaos of the Wild West.
Exciting Features Awaiting Players
When the port lands, it’s not just your average old-school title. Expect some cherry-picked PC goodies such as support for 21:9 and 23:9 ultrawide monitors, HDR10 displays, and keyboard and mouse controls. Additionally, you’ll enjoy enhanced graphical options, including shadow quality adjustments and draw distance settings. And let’s not forget about the sleek support for Nvidia DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 that will significantly improve performance!
As we gear up for the October 29 launch, one burning question remains what’s the price tag? Given that the PS4 and Switch versions hit the market at $49.99, it’s reasonable to expect the PC version to roll out with a similar pricing strategy. The wait is almost over; get ready to explore the turbulent reign of John Marston once more!
