Red Dead Redemption 2 is a 2018 action-adventure game developed and published by Rockstar Games. The game is the third entry in the Red Dead series and is a prequel to the 2010 game Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption 2 was released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October 2018, and for Microsoft Windows and Stadia in November 2019. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Rockstar Advance Game Engine (RAGE). We test by manually selecting Ultra settings (or High where Ultra is not available), TAA, Vulkan API.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is another game where we see strong performance from the RTX 3060. Averaging exactly 60FPS at 1080p, the 3060 is 20% faster than the RX 5700 here, which is pretty impressive. It's also 3% ahead of the RX 5700 XT and 22% faster than its direct predecessor.

Up at 1440p, I'd say Red Dead 2 is still very playable with the RTX 3060, averaging just under 50FPS. That's still 20% faster than the RX 5700, while it's also 4% ahead of the RX 5700 XT.
