Recommended graphics settings for Red Dead Redemption
For now Red Dead Redemption may not offer as many graphical customization options as its sequel, it still provides a decent selection of key options. One of the highlights is the smoothing technology. Instead of the popular TAA found in most AAA games, players can choose between DLSS and FSR Native AA, with FXAA also available — but it's best to avoid this option for optimal visuals.

Upscaling is best used at resolutions higher than 1080p, as enabling it at 1080p can make the game look blurry.
