Red Dead Redemption 2 is a 2018 action-adventure game developed and published by Rockstar Games. The game is the third entry in the Red Dead series and is a prequel to the 2010 game Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption 2 was released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October 2018, and for Microsoft Windows and Stadia in November 2019. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Rockstar Advance Game Engine (RAGE). We test by manually selecting Ultra settings (or High where Ultra is not available), TAA, Vulkan API.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is another very demanding title when using Ultra settings, but at 1080p the RX 6700 XT is doing well. Its average of 77FPS is pretty much on par with the RTX 3070, and it's also a solid 10% ahead of the RTX 3060 Ti, so not bad at all for AMD's latest GPU.

As we have seen from a number of games though, at 1440p the 6700 XT does fall away slightly relative to its competition. Here, it's average of 63FPS is 6% slower than the RTX 3070, when it was 3% slower at 1080p. It's not a big difference, but it's a pretty reliable trend from across our testing.
