When it comes to visuals in gaming, Red Dead Redemption 2 is undoubtedly one of the best. In this game, you embark on an epic adventure with Arthur Morgan and a group of outlaws across the heart of America while evading federal agents. RDR2 is widely known for its stunning graphics. On PC, the game can fully utilize your graphics card and deliver the best visuals possible.

Fortunately, with Nvidia’s RTX 5060 release just around the corner, you can enjoy impressive graphics even with a budget build. This is possible thanks to the RTX 5060 being powered by NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, which supports DLSS 4 to provide AI-generated frames. In other words, you receive three AI-generated frames for every rendered frame, resulting in a significant boost in frame rate.

  • If you aim for a more cinematic experience, you can increase the graphics settings according to your preferences.
  • The RTX 5060 comes only with an 8GB VRAM variant, which isn’t ideal for 1440p gaming. For better performance at that resolution, we recommend the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, which is already available for purchase.
