Red Dead Redemption 2 and DLSS is a Match Made in Heaven

DLSS support was finally announced for Red Dead Redemption 2 last week, and it has now arrived for the game’s PC version via an update. 

The Blood Money update that arrived on June 13 enables Nvidia GPUs to use AI to enhance image resolutions. As a result, players can enjoy higher graphical settings that bring boosted frame rates. 

According to Nvidia, DLSS accelerates performance on RDR2 and Red Dead Online by an incredible 45%. While this means a 4K at 60fps output for most cases, Nvidia has shared some specifics that gamers should keep in mind. 

At 2560×1440 with a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and above, users can expect frame rates above 60fps. While at 3840×2160 with a GeForce RTX 3070 and above, gamers can expect 60fps at max settings.

Sadly, these updated performance specs will only be enjoyed by gamers on PC, particularly those who are packing Nvidia hardware. RDR2 owners on consoles will see no such improvements in performance. However, Blood Money’s new content will be available to all, so that’s a plus.

Even before DLSS support, RDR2 was one of the most technically impressive games on the market. Rockstar’s incorporation of hyperrealism in gameplay had the title putting even the most impressive rigs to shame. 

Now with DLSS added, the game operates on a whole new level. It’s hard not to commend Rockstar and Nvidia for making a three-year-old game work as good as new. 

What’s more, RDR2 was recently added to the PS Now library until November and is also available with Xbox Game Pass. So, those who haven’t had the chance to enjoy the game on PC yet should definitely go ahead and grab it. 

Red Dead Redemption 2 is available to play on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
