Whoever mods Red Dead Redemption 2 to the max will get beautiful images. A new video with DLSS demonstrates this impressively.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is by no means an ugly game. But of course modders and graphics fetishists like to turn cogs to tease out a little more from Rockstar’s open-world game.
With impressive results: once again, the YouTube channel Digital Dreams pushes the limits of technology and improves the visuals of Red Dead Redemption 2 using its own ray tracing reshade presets and activated DLSS. The new scenes differ from an earlier video, which also already looked very good.
In addition, the resolution was increased to 8K for the video. You can see the visually stunning result here:
DLSS provides for improved frame rate
Even with 8K gameplay, Nvidia’s AI secret weapon DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) can improve frame rate. DLSS uses the Tensor chips on RTX graphics cards to upscale lower-resolution images to monitor resolution using an AI algorithm.
Meanwhile, the result is hardly distinguishable from native rendering or often even better. In the current DLSS version 2.x, the image errors from v1.x are largely a thing of the past. Edge smoothing ensures a smooth and flicker-free image, and there is also none of the blurring that often occurs with TAA.
This results in a crisp image that showcases the open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 with ray tracing reshade. As expected, it takes a powerful PC to get such a high-powered game to run at least somewhat decently.
What do you need for this?
Digital Dreams states under the YouTube video how you can install the mod yourself. To be able to download the presets used, you have to support Digital Dreams financially on Patreon.
But you must also have spent a few euros on your PC build to be able to play Red Dead 2 so beautifully. Digital Dreams says it uses the following high-end setup:
– Mainboard: Asus Prime x470-Pro
– Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32GB
– Processor: Ryzen 9 3900x @ 4.5GHz
– Graphics card: ASUS TUF RTX 3090 @ 2100MHz
– SSD: Crucial MX500 2TB
