Tier ladder
The weakest link is video memory: this rig brings 4 against the 6 that Red Dead Redemption 2 asks for at the recommended tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.
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 Radeon RX 570 4GB changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.
| Processor | Index | Verdict | Bottleneck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 1600 | 30 | Will not run | processor |
| Ryzen 9 5900X | 70 | Runs at minimum | video memory |
| Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 95 | Runs at minimum | video memory |
Cheapest way up one tier
video memory: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
The Radeon RX 570 4GB carries 4 GB of video memory and the recommended tier needs 6 GB. Video memory is a hard limit: no amount of core speed substitutes for it.
That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the recommended tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".

- Recommended in Red Dead Redemption 2 is drawn around a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and its 6 GB. The Radeon RX 570 4GB has the core for it and not the memory, which is the one shortfall no setting recovers. Above that the video memory is what stops it.
- Is 4 GB of video memory enough for Red Dead Redemption 2?
- Not for every tier. Red Dead Redemption 2 asks for more video memory than the 4 GB on this card at the tier above minimum, and video memory is a hard limit rather than something extra core speed can cover.
