    Thanks to the developers. It’s immediately obvious that the team is trying to correct the mistakes. Graphics even at low settings has become very presentable, online is no longer interrupted. At first it was not pleasant, but the benefit of Rockstar is still doing its job.

    Сраный, лагающий и постоянно вылетающий кал! Я сотню раз за 4 часа игры пожалел, что качал это дерьмо 6 часов. Не задумываясь бы вернул свои деньги. Графика нулевая, интерактивность нулевая, управление кривое.

    Good that rockstar heard us but still half!
    Always need to take the right steps when solving problems and resolving conflicts.

    as i sad earlier:
    GAME CRASHES AS HELL ALL THE TIME (especially in SAINT DENIS at nigt time)! If in the suburbs you can play an hour or two without crashes, but not a fact, then in the city crashes every 2 minutes, it is impossible even to leave the city so that it does not fly out so often. We all always look forward to a game from Rockstar. We have been playing good games for decades. Ready with patience to wait for the port on the PC for a year or two. My config: i9900K, RTX 2080 OC, 16gb, SSD. We pay for the game and get such a disgusting attitude from the support of Rockstar. I work with foreign manufacturers of industrial equipment and for such an attitude they would pay a fine and lose their reputation. Selling a deliberately defective product is a scam. It is clear that everything will be forgotten over time, but the attitude towards your audience will be remembered for a long time. It is necessary to eliminate all errors in the shortest possible time, prepare amazing content specifically for apologizing to the audience, and ultimately apologize and notify everyone that the work on fixing the bugs is on the way and when release date of the patch for begining.

    recommended specs don't even come close to what's needed to run this at 60fps, a PC standard for most games.

    constant crashing, frame hitching. UNPLAYABLE. add in the bugs from the console version. denied a refund because i had attempted to try playing after patches which then ran over the time allowed before refund plus i was in contact with the wrong support which i was directed to

    i only registered on meta critic to warn any player wanting to buy, dont get robbed like me.

    Horrible port, no optimization at all.

    A game that runs on a Playstation 4 cannot struggle to run on a GTX 1080.

    disclaimer: I've never played the 1st REDDEAD

    I was pretty sucked in with the story right away that's for sure. I never liked how they could have easily taken out dutch and Arthur multiple times by showing up at their camps. The game looks great and plays great for the most part. Just don't go flying through a wooded area with a brand new expensive horse. The worst part of this game

    The worst part of this game is when you want to fast travel.. You still end up wasting 10 minutes riding a horse no matter where you start.

Были установлены драйвера нвидия, специально заточенные под игру. Запустилось, все более-менее сносно игралось, после длительных пребываниях в разделе настроек графики.,были подобраны оптимальные настройки. Далее нвидия выпустили свежий драйвер, который, добавил порядка 5-7 фпс. И Тут-же рокстар анонсировали патч. Обрадовавшись этой новости, оставил игру до следующего дня, в надежде на добавку еще пары фпс. Как оказалось позже, надеялся я зря, данный патч отнял порядка 10 фпс, т. е. игра стала работать хуже, чем на релизе. К счастью с фризами и вылетами особых проблем не испытывал, поэтому порывшись в настройках графики, и снизив еще некоторые пункты, получил терпимый фпс, и продолжил проходить дальше. Далее выходит еще один патч, думаю, ну теперь может добавят чуть-чуть производительности, либо вернут те фпс, что, отняли с прошлым патчем. Не тут то было, вместо оптимизации, порезали дальность прорисовки следов на грязи, и появления таких объектов, как, дилижансы, и тени от них, при этом снова сбросив все настройки по дефолту, и самое интересное, что на фпс это никак не отразилось, зато появились какие-то мерцания текстур. Поэкспериментировав вновь с настройками, игра и вовсе перестала работать, после загрузки просто черный экран, хотя звуки и управление работает. Сразу напрашивается вопрос, за что, я вам отдал 2500р., за бета тест? Каждый ваш патч, делает и без того плохо оптимизированную игру, вовсе неиграбельной. В будущем ваш продукт по предзаказу брать точно не стану, пока не буду уверен, что, продукт оптимизирован как следует Expand

    It would be excusable if this was Rockstar's first game. Instead it just seems as if it was. Everything about this game is ****

    The game has s**t controls, is completely unstable, and fails in almost every aspect. What's worse is, it's based on the GTA engine, so the cheats that work for GTA are pretty much guaranteed to work for this, and you've already got plenty of cheaters in the game.

    Rockstar is a f**king stupid company. I will not be buying another one of their games, and would advise others to steer clear of them as well. They're trying to give EA and Bethesda a run for their money.

    I'm running this bug pile from a M2 ssd powered by a I9 9900k, 32gigs of ram, a GTX1080ti installed on a z390 Aorus master motherboard.

    9900K + Titan RTX = awesome experience at high-to-ultra settings for 1080p. In ideal scenarios, my rig can even push 1440p in RDR2. I recommend the people complaining get better jobs so they can afford to upgrade their mid-tier PCs with high-end components. Wouldn't hurt for Rockstar to include some "Ultra LOW" settings for these people so they stop crying.

    Beautiful game: 10/10

    What a travesty this is. I adore RDR1, it's one of the finest games ever. GTA V (despite the shark cards) is also a work of art. How did it go so wrong Rockstar?
    At it's core, this is still basically a very good game, but it is equalled by it's flaws. I had ignored as much as I could of this game waiting for PC, and yet I buckled after 6 months, paid stupid money for it on XOne, hated it

    At it's core, this is still basically a very good game, but it is equalled by it's flaws. I had ignored as much as I could of this game waiting for PC, and yet I buckled after 6 months, paid stupid money for it on XOne, hated it after a few hours purely (or so I thought) for having to use a controller.
    So far, I have I had 20-30 hours of side questing just disappear from my singleplayer save, but my lust to play this edged me on to the online element earlier than I expected. This has proven equally frustrating. I hate myself for continuing to play, I WANT to like this game but I hate it more than I have hated a lot of games, and I've hated a LOT of games.

    This game seems to have been designed to frustrate and waste the players time more than any I have ever known. The world itself, is beautiful. It is clear the artists and sfx guys have really made a rich and gorgeous world. However, we all know good graphics do NOT equal good gameplay and this is living proof of that. I'm struggling to think if I have enjoyed any mission or side quest, I really don't think I have. As I was a sucker to get this on the Rockstar launcher I have created this account to review the game as opposed to Steam. I hate it THAT much. I do not deny Rockstar make wonderous sandboxes but this falls incredibly short of their high standards. The random crashes to desktop on launch I can handle, it's to be expected from Rockstar. It's the gameplay or lack of it that makes me hate this game. The amount of time wasting this game expects of the player is absurd, the best example is skinning an animal, a 5 second anitmation each time, not skippable. There are 'story' missions for online, but you need to matchmake to play them, this isn't PUBG or COD, for a game barely two weeks old I have waitied minutes at a time for cruddy missions with a cutscene no-one cares for. Fail it, and it could take 10's of minutes to 'just get it done', the fun disappears very quickly when relying on 3 people you do not know, nor communicate with. I am utterly convinced Rockstar detests solo players. I felt that from GTA V online and here it is amplified.

    Now let's cover aiming, a LOT of people, myself included wanted m&k aiming, the graphics were secondary. The aiming in this is almost 50/50 whether you can be accurate and almost seems 50/50 whether you will actually shoot when you click the mouse button. Not to mention the typical bizarre control setup from Rockstar. Sometimes you try to shoot and the character won't even draw a gun. To do the 'survival' and eat food and tonics for stamina, health and dead eye is far too convoluted, in the heat of battle you just button press and select stuff hoping it's what you want, there is absolutely no fluidity to it. It's like Ark without the big green text, though Ark was more fluid to do what you wanted.

    I really could go on and on about how much I hate this game, the really annoying thing is I will likely continue to torture myself with it for if nothing else but to justify buying it. Even if bought on Steam it is likely it will take longer than 2-3 hours to realise how flawed this game is. I really am gobsmacked how this is such an un-fun game. I'm giving it 5/10 purely for art direction, there is no fun in this game, or at least very, very little. Very genuinley I don't remember enjoying any of it in 40+ hours. The 'challenges' are rigged so as to only be completeable in story mode, after you've completed the story, thus pointless.

    The online challenges.... ride the train for 1000 miles, one lap of the main part of the map seems to be around 2 miles, that's a challenge alright, a challenge of patience for a pathetic reward, I say reward, I believe it's a buckle worth about $15 in game, that's enough to refill your ammo, not much else.

    The launch issues will get fixed, but the terrible gameplay will not. My only solace left is that RedM turns this into a playable game but I fear it will be saturated by salt and only the big streamers will find good times.

    Rockstar bring out one game every 5 years, I've been a staunch fan of theirs since GTA 1. I will not be buying their next game on release and definitely will not be buying it 2 or 3 times like this and GTA V. The bigger they are the harder they fall, and they have fallen off Everest with this release. I thoroughly regret buying it and despise the hours I've played as almost entirely pi$$sed of for the duration.

    If you must, 100% I would wait for a sale, there are many games out there that are fun and much more worthy of your attention.

    Overhyped and nothing too special. Good graphics but boring scenery. Good story but slow. Fun missions but too much busy work between them. Technical issues even after 2 patches. Old West simulator where you have walk/ride everywhere. Wouldn't buy it at full price again.

The same problems happened with GTA V when it came out on PC and it did not take long before it was fixed. Now, the PC port of GTA V is good.

Events frequently overlap and create unreasonable in game scenarios such as wolves attacking you just as you enter a boss battle or getting a witness when you are looting the scene of a showdown. Also the economy is weird and you only seem to be able to sell items of any type to a fence at one location on the map. Weapons obtained cannot be sold ever, it is not clear why. All in all could have been done better for me.

Missions varies between good stories and gun blazing action. Intel i7-8700 (non k) and rtx 2080 gets the job done for me. It’s difficult to max out graphics with todays hardware.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 when it came out in 2018 on consoles, was the best open world game you could ever experience.
    The gamne beats any other (open world) title in almost every categorie.
    Rockstar really put many effort in creating this game, with its many characters, gameplay, and outstanding graphics.

    So when you usually play an open world title, you may know, that some things are quiet cut off, as creating an open world, that is highly believable, has high end graphics and on top an excellent story is almost impossible to do. There were few games in the past, that could come close to this, but none of them is as big and as detailled as Red Dead Redemption 2. Not even the Witcher 3 can handle all of it that well,

    But lets start with the technical details.
    On PC the game looks pretty much the best you can get on any game you could name. The world is so detailled in everything, that it is amazing how much effort Rockstar has taken to get this cranked up for the PC version. Of course this comes with a high price. Many people are complaining about crashes and low performance on their rigs and not even get to 60fps.
    I can only tell you the numbers that could explain this:

    If we take the steam Hardware Survey, Following Hardware which is capable of 2k in High-Ultra (with fps between 40-60fps) is used there.

    1080ti 1,56%
    RTX 2070Super 0,25%
    RTX 2080 0,88%
    RTX 2080 Super < 0,15%
    RTX 2080Ti 0,54%
    Titan RTX < 0,15%

    Lets give the Cards below 0,15% the benfit of the doubt and count tham as 0,15% and then this makes

    3,53% of all Steam Users have a graphics card that could possibly handle the game in 2K at 40-60fps almost maxed out, with little things set to High (like Water Details).

    Considered that 96,5 % of the gamers on PC dont even own at least a 1080ti it is just ridiculous how they expect the game to run on Ultra on their rigs.
    So compared to any other game, the performace / detail ratio in Red Dead Redemption 2 is fine for me, as I do not know any other game that comes close to these details an graphics at all ... and I played all AAA games the last 10 years!

    Also you have to be aware, that you need to be able to set up your rig, with knowledge, which not even 1% of the gamers are having. I built so many rigs for friends and people I know alone, and they have decent rigs, but no knowledge about their insides.

    So yes, Rockstar needs to work on that, but its not a general flaw ... more the lack of decent Hardware and knowledge about how to setup your PC.
    We have to admit, that this game benchmarks current generation of Hardware and maybe the next one.

    I left out the CPUs, because the CPU is not a bottleneck on your PC if you have a rig, that is supporting these named Graphic Cards, so you can leave that out. Otherwise the percentage of the capable rigs will be even lower!

    So much for the 0 ratings because of performance.
    I play it on a 1080ti on Ultra at 1440p and get decent 40-60fps. With a good G-Sync Display it runs smooth enough and rarely drops fps.

    Coming to the Sound, which is awesomly designed as well. There is no ... literally no NPC that has really poor voice or texts, which is also very rare on an open world game that scale. Even the last dude, that most likely not even 1% of the players will find is done extremely well.
    The animals are having very good sounds and also realistic ones. It must have taken months to capture them all.
    Also environment sounds of horses, Same is with wagons or trains.

    The world just feels alive in every bit of what you can name. I even saw an Opossum that ran beside me, and as itr recognized me, it faked death ... breathtaking.

    When it comes to Gameplay, well this is kind of a taste thing. As this is a rating for the PC version I have to say, that the controls are designed for Controllers. Keyboard and Mouse are done very good, but it has many Keys mapped for any specific things you can do, and does not the very best job in terms of intuition.
    When it comes to the plaing of the game, it is also here outstanding choice. The amount of things you can do is also outstanding. From cooking, to crafting, to playing mini games in bars, to shaving, to cleaning your horse, do tasks in your camp, fishing, hunting ... name it and you can do it.

    The story is just the way Rockstar does it. Its not the very best in all video games, but its a thrilling, believable homage to the end of the wild west time and it is finished satisfying with closing the gap to Red Dead Redemption 1.

    In the end you will be left with the Multiplayer, that is out since 1 year now and went through a lot of improvements. PC Players have the advantage to had the consoles do the Beta testing, and Rockstar being reacting to the whishes out of that.
    Overall a Masterpiece.

    Boring boring game. Pace is so sluggish, from the story to the movement to everything. They made the gameplay 50 hr by making everything slow and mundane. I would rather play a shorter action packed game than a long stretched out boring one.

    Visually it's nice, but visuals don't make a game. Game play is also awfully optimized for the PC. Keyboard controls are clunky with the NPC

Talk about on rails. There is no freedom in this game. You can't be a bad guy, Everything they do in this game pushes you to do what the game dev wants you to do.

The game testing they did on this is actually completely insulting to me personally considering the size of their company and the amount of money i wasted on this game which in certain scenes in IMPOSSIBLE to keep above 60 fps on ANY settings.

    I'll try to get through the positives briefly; the world is wonderfully built and the attention to detail is amazing, the story is Ok so far and so are the animations. Good job, all this also applied to real life, so no game necessary. End of positives.

    If you are the kind of person who wants to achieve or feel anything in life avoid this game. It is the epitome of everything the media tells you that you want but makes you feel nothing inside and you try to defend it because you spend £69.99 on it. The missions are completely identical, boring, easy and require zero original thought whatsoever to complete. Getting from mission to mission is tedious and so is everything else and the moment you start to get immersed in the world doing your own thing you'll have a major FPS drop, lose immersion and realize you are just a **** playing a game for children even though it's completely toxic and 18+.

    I've had zero...i think they are called 'feelings' ...moments regarding the game play, I could complete the hardest level in this game while eating my dinner. Missions provide zero room for initiative, something that Rockstar pioneered to the mainstream open world audience. (not actually pioneered)

    I almost think that Rockstar sabotaged this launch on purpose so they can justify to themselves not releasing there next GTA game on PC, because obviously its too much hassle to entertain people that aren't children and actually scale optimisation across multiple devices. This is also backed by the fact that they bait everyone into buying consoles by releasing on them first and i wouldn't be surprised if they did a deal with nvidia to **** up this launch to cross-sell them more of their next gen GPUs. If you think that is paranoid, then why do you think they release on consoles a whole year before PC? To get pc gamers to buy consoles obviously...
    " Why should you have the best gaming experience possible, when I can have more money and do less work? THAT WOULD BE STUPID WOULDN'T IT, YOU IDIOT CONSUMER, YOU WORM !!"

    Cleaning out my hard drive of this garbage to so i can play games that don't take up ludicrous amount of time from my personal projects and work or having to do doing mundane things and make me brain dead from hand holding missions and garbage stranger encounter. I have better stranger encounters in real life.

    4/10 is generous based on this PC launch. If it ran well i'd give it higher score because it would be a marvelous technical feat, although, it is not because that's like saying i'm the first man on mars, but the message is pre-recorded and i died a painful death during entry where my eye balls filled with blood and the vessels in my brain exploded due to G-force limits, Unacceptable.

    One of the best graphics I've ever seen, in a lively and very active world, there are no empty spaces here.

HOWEVER the pc port that I paid for ($100.00 Ultimate Edi.) is near worthless. Game crashes almost every five to ten minutes. Extremely poor optimization, and really bad lag. I can look past all of these except for the constant crashing issues. With all these issues it's made the game completely unplayable for me. The refund process is totally ridiculous too. You cannot call ANYONE, because they don't have a dedicated tech support line, if any customer support at that. Had to create a ticket on their website after looking around the internet for an hour to see what you had to do to get a refund. Hope to god that I get the refund for the hundred bucks I spent on it, and the other hundred dollars I spend on gold shortly after installing the game. Hoping that it'll go through considering that I've only had a day of actual game play on it and I've only had it for nine days (3 of those days just downloading the game itself). This refund is the last straw for me. If they can return my money I might consider buying the game again once it's been trough several months worth of patches, but that'll depend on if Rockstar will do the right thing and help me out. My advice, please wait on purchasing this pc port. Very unsatisfied with the release and not at all happy about the way Rockstar has made it virtually impossible to receive tech help. Expand

    Игра прекрасная, невероятная атмосфера, очень хороший сюжет и затягивающий геймплей, но то что во время рыбалки леска не краснеет как в Far Cry 5 меня очень сильно разочаровала, это не приемлемая ошибка со стороны рокстар и по этому моя оценка такая низкая. Один балл я поставил только из-за того что игра вообще есть.Игра прекрасная, невероятная атмосфера, очень хороший сюжет и затягивающий геймплей, но то что во время рыбалки леска не краснеет как в Far Cry 5 меня очень сильно разочаровала, это не приемлемая ошибка со стороны рокстар и по этому моя оценка такая низкая.

    I'm not having all the crashing & stuttering problems other people are having, but I will warn people that in-game time passage (including depletion of cores, hunger, etc) is tied to framerate. It's an artifact of porting from the console where fps is locked at 30. It makes hunger & core maintenance a royal pain unless you lock your fps at 30 in the graphics settings.

    Poor, very poor console port. Not playable for almost 2 weeks since the premiere (very poor performance even on still quite powerfull rig - i7 9700K and GTX 1080 with 16GB 3200 GHz). Simply a bad joke from Rockstar.

    I've installed it after patch and new nVidia driver release and so far didn't have huge issues with performance or stability. 1 crash after ~6 hours of play with ~10 sessions on two PCs. There were some minor bugs in quests which were resolved by load of check-point save. Pretty cool I'd say, but only 18% of story is yet completed :)

    Graphics are phenomenal. Crashes are too frequent. Gameplay is very alluring, but the grind is way too excessive and crashes or bugs make the grind unbearable. I have lost hundreds of dollars to bugs so far and I am starting to get really irritated with the game. It could be a fantastic epic masterpiece if they could just fix the bugs and make it much less grindy. Perhaps if the gameGraphics are phenomenal. Crashes are too frequent.

Perhaps if the game actually saved what was on your horse, the grind might not feel so bad when their servers kick you. I simply don't have time to keep wasting on the game when I lose progress so often and I can't even use the store to buy anything as the store doesn't work either. I would have given it an easy 10 if it worked and I didn't have to spend my entire life on it to make any progress. Expand

    Es la primera reseña que escribo y da pena ver malas calificaciones a el juego sacadas totalmente de contexto de lo que el juego es, puteando al launcher o a problemas que se solucionaron al cabo de 2 o 3 días! sin siquiera tener el tiempo de pasarse el juego, es muy triste,y como minimo espero q si son tan quisquillosos lo sean así de intolerantes con todos los juegos y compañías.En finEs la primera reseña que escribo y da pena ver malas calificaciones a el juego sacadas totalmente de contexto de lo que el juego es, puteando al launcher o a problemas que se solucionaron al cabo de 2 o 3 días! sin siquiera tener el tiempo de pasarse el juego, es muy triste,y como minimo espero q si son tan quisquillosos lo sean así de intolerantes con todos los juegos y compañías.En fin mi valoración esta basada en los siguiente:
    -Historia: Simplemente increíble, rozando lo perfecta, a la par de intensa que The last of us, que para mi siempre fue la mejor hasta ahora, es cuanto a profundidad de personajes y la forma que te mete el la piel de los mismos y simpatizar con ellos. No quiero agregar mas sobre esto para no caer en spoiler, por si alguien verdaderamente lee esto no quiero arruinarles esta hermosa experiencia, Es simplemente increible
    -Gráficos y Entorno: En cuanto a los gráficos, son escandalosos, es por momentos apabullante su mundo, que conspira de una forma tan perfecta con su narrativa. De nuevo con las comparaciones, desde The Witcher 3 no me pasaba el ir por ahí y de un momento a otro prestar atención al entorno decir "QUE MARAVILLA, como corno hicieron esto!" y es que todo lo que te rodea durante todo el put... juego es impresionante, desde las postales que te quedan de las montañas, lo sombrío de los pantanos, la paz que dan esas llanuras, y una especie de magia que hay por la noche el los pueblos y la ciudad Principal, Es sencillamente EXTRAORDINARIO.
    Duración: Lo acabo de chequear y es exactamente 58 hs 09 min, centrado solo en la historia principal mas alguno de esos eventos aleatorios pero casi ninguno. Ni siquiera se de que trata el online, Pero no soy de jugar los online de los juegos por eso no entra en mi valoración personal
    Jugabilidad: es un poco mas compleja que en gta, y se tarda en adaptarse los controles teniendo que muchas veces apretar mas de 3 teclas para realizar una acción pero los asimilas rápido, los tiroteos se sienten muchísimo mas reales y espectaculares que en otro juegos de Rocks Star
    -RENDIMIENTO! : SI es un juego pesado, y NO no lo juegue en ultra 4K 60 FPS. Lo juegue en una de las opciones de "equilibrado" mas altas que combina opciones en Alto, Medio y Ultra de una manera genial, (tengo una RTX 2060 super, Ryzen 3600 y 16 GB de ram) a 60 FPS prácticamente ininterrumpidos salvo por algún bajón a 50-55 muy puntual sobre todo en la zona del pantano, y es que mucha gente esta enojada porque el contador de FPS no se les dispara a mas de 100 pero habría que poner,creo yo mas atención al juego que al msi afterburner, y es que en la configuración en la que jugué yo que no es ni de cerca la mas alta lo se, LE PASA EL TRAPO A CUALQUIER OTRO JUEGO!!! POR DIOOOSS déjense de joder con estupideces y disfrutenlo! Que vale tanto la pena jugarlo por mas que sea en bajo y con los 100 filtros raros esos que tiene desactivados. El juego es HERMOSO.
    P/D: EL LAUNCHER ES UNA MIERDA! Y YA ME TIENEN LAS PELOTAS POR EL PISO CON ELLOS! Para que? es realmente necesario? de verdad piensan que llenando de launcherS el PC vamos a estar mas conformes? que nos gusta tener 60 mil aplicaciones de mierda que SIEMPRE FUNCIONAN MAL para guardar 1 juego en cada una? que tienen en la cabeza? Evitan comisiones a STEAM pero se acarrean un puto 3.7 de nota Giles!!. Solo por esto le quería quitar dos puntos, pero creo que es mierda de la empresa y no de lo que yo estrictamente estoy calificando que es el juego que es una maravilla.
    En fin, me pase el juego después de un hype de mas de un año que salio en consolas y la verdad sobrepaso por mucho mis expectativas. Hace mucho que no sentía que pague demasiado barato un juego caro.

    Best game that came out this year for PC, everything runs smoothly with my i7-5820k and GTX 980 on high setting. Used to bug out on initial launch, but after I updated my driver, everything seems to be running smoothly, consistent 70 fps. Still running the game with 8gb ram opposed to the minimum 12gb.

    This is buggy garbage. Constant crashing, terrible performance. Is the game itself any good? Who knows? It's unplayable. Wondering how "Rockstar" (lol) employees look at themselves in the mirror. You have to know this is trash. Thanks for ripping me off, would love to get a refund.

    Don't buy this game, it's terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

    An absorbing tale that will test your machine and tear ducts. A game that did not suffer from being brought to PC. RDR2 is worth overcoming all the shortcomings, since it is one of the best games of the decade. [Issue#300]

    Victory of gaming as an art and the pinnacle of creativity in the gaming industry. A true, impeccably-polished masterpiece that will set standards for a decade to come.

    My biggest warning to anyone considering purchasing RDR2 on PC is that you need to have patience when you set it up. Take the time to go through each graphics option, compare your performance on Vulkan vs. DirectX 12, and tailor the game to your specs. Once you have the game tuned, there’s no better way to experience it than on PC.
