Red Dead Redemption II PC performance thread

So, to use Sharpen via Nvidia control panel the game needs be using DX12? If so when using Sharpen via GFE with vulkan do i have to open GFE every time i launch the game to the effect works?
Nope, it works with everything as far as I can tell, even launchers for games sometimes lol.
That can't be right, as I've used it with DX11 games such as FFXIV and it worked fine.
The sharpen via the Nvidia CP only works for DX12 at the moment from what I've read.
The Nvidia Control Panel image sharpening feature only works with DirectX but the Freestyle filter (Alt+F3 in game) works in Vulkan too. No need to open GFE.
So the only thing that is driving me absolutely nuts in this game and at the moment seems impossible is to craft a satchel, doesnt matter which one, for the sake of it im trying to craft the Kit Satchel, I found 3 star deers and made sure i kill them in such a way that it doesnt ruin the pelt(i have perfect pelts in my satchel) but whenever I visit my camp to craft them they dont show up in the recipes screen, fucking game i swear
Did you turn them in to Pearson at his wagon? Just like you turn in meat/provisions, but it'll show "Donate for Crafting" instead. Once they are turned in, then you can craft the satchels.
I also wanted to craft one but I gave up early and finished the game without it.
It's just pointless and not worth your time if you ask me.
Ohhh snap, ok ok, I did not know i have to donate them first! cheers fellas
So I recall one guy on here said he didn't notice a difference in latency with the PC version over the X, and got a number of replies saying he was nuts. Welp, DF says he was basically right.
They did the wrong test. The problem with consoles was the camera movement when aiming. This is much better on PC. Of course the character movement animation will be the same on pc and consoles.
Ah yes, that would make more sense. That would be far more glaring when you're not watching animation respond.
I wish they did comparisons with V-Sync off, I don't understand why they didn't. Who plays PC games with vsync on? Unless it doesn't make a difference?
I would say the vast majority who don't have a freesync monitor, and even then it's recommended to leave vsync on regardless? Tearing sucks.
I saw a lot of tearing with my old 60hz monitor, but it has been pretty rare for it to be noticeable on my 144hz one.
With my lowly 60 Hz monitor, I almost always turn vsync off to avoid the latency and jarring framerate changes when my computer can't handle certain scenes. It helps that the tearing in RDR2 isn't horrible. Some games tear really badly, and I'll turn vsync on for those particular games.
That's what triple buffering does and why DF tested Read Dead with it. It can add some slight latency as opposed to double-buffering yes, but IME the majority of games use it whenever vsync is engaged and they don't explicitly specify it. It should always be an option IMO though, as there are some benefits to having double-buffered aside from slightly lower latency, such as a much higher chance of having a solid 30fps lock with good frame pacing if you want to go that route.
snowGlints value in xml file should be true or false if I want snow glint in game?? After recent patch I don't known if this option did reset or not.
Yep, very weird, because thats an obvious test. Also, they should have tested camera movements with mouse.
I've basically given up the 60fps dream but this is probably the only time where I haven't really been made about capping to 30 on PC.
Pretty much everyone with a traditional 60hz TV/monitor uses vsync unless you enjoy crazy amounts of screen tearing.

Yeah it's really strange all 3 of their tests include animation latency. Camera latency and shooting while aiming will determine actual input latency without regards for animation.
I would be willing to bet the majority of PC gamers absolutely do not play games with Vsync on, due to the massively increased input lag. Any googling will give them those answers, pretty much every one says to "turn it off", its been ingrained into the minds of every single person I know who plays PC games.
is there a problem with the "kill them, each and every one" mission?
ive tried matchmaking multiple times today for that mission and cant get anything going. everything else is great.

There may be (multiplayer) games where the input lag is relevant but I am totally willing to deal with it if I can get rid of tearing which is extremely annoying imo. I have never had any noticeable issues with it. For example, I managed to finish Sekiro with Vsync and I am 42 years old, so my reflexes are definitely not the best ;).
I believe it was the Geforce Experience version that was limited to only a few titles. The control panel versikn works with everything, I tried it with Destiny 2 and it did function as expected.

Sharpen through NVCP doesn't work for me in Vulkan, GFE filter in game does though.
Vulkan is not supported yet, it should work in DirectX12. See this article for details:
Multiplayer PC games are the biggest on the platform, by a large margin. The majority of PC gamers do not play with Vsync on because of this, and a lot of games don't default to it on either anymore. This forum is definately a big outlier, as the audience skews older and far less play MP games all the time. I know so many people who literally don't play SP games at all. I'm 20.
I've now just about perfected my settings (Hardware Unboxed recommended settings + .ini & launcher tweaks) to get 60~90FPS at 1440p on my gtx1080/i7 8700k. Was getting some crashes and performance cuts, but realized it was DX12 and the instance on Window mode. Swithcing to Vulkan stabilized my performance and stopped all crashes (Not a single one in the last 20hrs, some of which was 8h straight).
Overall after this latest patch I'm very happy with the PC Port of RDR2 and it's basically all I wanted when it comes to Graphical Settings and Performance. There's some other pain points, mainly related to limitations also present on consoles or PC having released later (ie: The Online content we missed out on). But overall I'm extreamly pleased with how things are now :)

Is VRR Gsync? If so, then you explicitly DON'T need vsync on, lol.
Yeahhhh you got that backwards my dude, if you have a variable refresh rate monitor, you don't need vsync on, you can certainly keep it on, but it can introduce the input lag that it's notorious for.
No??

They recommending using vsync in nvidia panel with gsync.
