Can I run Red Dead Redemption 2 with a GeForce RTX 4070 Super?

The GeForce RTX 4070 Super clears every tier Red Dead Redemption 2 defines, but only just: index 32 against the 30 its ultra tier asks for, 7% of margin and no more.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Super arrived 5 years after Red Dead Redemption 2 shipped, so the game was never designed with it in mind: 14 of the 47 cards we track stop at the same point in Red Dead Redemption 2. It sits 13 of 47 on our index.

That readout is the best this card can do in Red Dead Redemption 2: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Red Dead Redemption 2 the processor beside a GeForce RTX 4070 Super changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.
