Red Dead Redemption PC guide: Best settings for Nvidia RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti

Red Dead Redemption was recently released for PC on October 29, 2024, but it's not a new game. In fact, it was originally released on consoles in 2010 and took over 14 years to finally make its way to PCs. However, before you play the game, you should change a few settings to get the best performance. This is even more important for Nvidia RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti users since these cards are quite old in 2024.

These two GPUs were powerful mid-rangers when they first launched, but the same can't be said today. However, due to the game's low system requirements, you can play it at 2K resolution with around 120 FPS while using these cards.

This article lists the best Red Dead Redemption graphics settings for Nvidia RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti.

Note: This article is subjective and solely reflects the writer's opinions. These settings are meant for PCs that meet the minimum (or recommended) specs stated by the publisher.
