Best Red Dead Redemption 2 settings for the AMD Vega 11 (Ryzen 5 2400G iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Vega 11 (Ryzen 5 2400G iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Red Dead Redemption 2 runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 13FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Vega 11 (Ryzen 5 2400G iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Red Dead Redemption 2 is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 13 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 39 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 22 FPS at 4K. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Red Dead Redemption 2 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
RDR2 added DLSS and FSR. A big, easy FPS boost on this demanding open world.
Water Reflection QualityLow+16% FPS
The single most expensive setting in RDR2 — high-quality water reflections can cost a huge chunk of FPS. Medium/High is the classic optimization.
Volumetrics QualityLow+12% FPS
Fog, clouds and god-rays. Very heavy at Ultra for a subtle gain — a top FPS saving.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution. High is a strong value pick over Ultra.
Grass Level of DetailLow+8% FPS
Detail and draw distance of grass — one of RDR2's heavier sliders in fields.
Global Illumination QualityLow+7% FPS
Bounced ambient lighting. Moderately heavy; Medium/High is fine.
Water Physics QualityQuarter+7% FPS
Simulated water — the slider tanks FPS near Full. Keep it around Half unless you have headroom to spare.
Geometry Level of DetailLow+7% FPS
How far full-detail geometry renders before simplifying. A real cost in open vistas.
Far Shadow QualityLow+6% FPS
Shadows far from the camera. Cheap to lower with little visible difference.
Screen Space Ambient OcclusionOff+6% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Low is a cheap, good-looking middle ground.
Anti-Aliasing (TAA)Off+6% FPS
RDR2’s TAA cleans up shimmer but softens the image at higher settings. Medium is a good balance.
Water Reflection MSAAOff+6% FPS
Smooths the edges inside water reflections — heavy at higher steps. Off or 2x for FPS.
Particle QualityLow+5% FPS
Smoke, fire and weather effects. Lowering smooths gunfights and storms.
Tessellation QualityOff+5% FPS
Adds rounded 3D detail to surfaces like mud and cobblestone. Medium is plenty.
Tree Quality / Grass DetailMedium+4% FPS
Foliage density and draw distance — heavy in forests and fields, and the biggest hit to the game’s natural beauty when lowered.
Parallax Occlusion MappingOff+4% FPS
Fake depth on flat surfaces like brick and dirt. A small saving when lowered.
Long ShadowsOff+4% FPS
Extra-long shadows at dawn and dusk. Cheap; pure atmosphere.
Fur QualityMedium+2% FPS
Strand detail on horses and animals. High looks great; Ultra is costly.
Decal QualityMedium+1% FPS
Resolution of blood, dirt and bullet marks. A cheap, low-risk saving.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface detail. Cheap if it fits your VRAM — Ultra needs a roomy card.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp into the distance — essentially free, use 16x.
