Hi everyone, I hope this community will help me. I recently got a new PC, and was excited to try a few games on it. My setup is a MSI katana 17 B13VGK, with a RTX4070, i7 13620H, and 32Go RAM. By my understanding, I should be able to run this with maxed out settings in 1080p without any issue, when I tried RDR2, I was barely getting 10 fps mean on the performance test. The game is set to my dedicated GPU and not the integrated one, and any tweaks I tried (deleting pipeline files) did not change anything.

If you have any ideas, I’m open to anything that could help me enjoy this game ! Thanks in advance

    Thanks again again :) All the points you suggested have been checked, I’ll try again from the device manager as you suggested, and I’ll take anything you dreamed of!

      Disable Nvidia resizable bar?

      Disable Xbox game mode?

      Set priority for the game to high in task manager?

      Check Nvidia control panel and make sure it isn’t trying to render the game at like 8k or something weird?

      Download direct x 12 manually? (I really think this might resolve the issue).

      Idk threaten your laptop with bodily harm if it doesn’t cooperate? Lol

        Hello again! I finally succeeded to make it work in a satisfying way. The key issue was indeed an adapter output problem, BUT for some reason rdr2 kept saying that the integrated graohics had more vram than the dedicated gpu, and switched to it even though I forced it. On top of that the vsync for some reason capped the fps at 30, weirdly.

        Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to answer me and suggest all those things, you really were a light in the dark in all this troubleshooting!

          I’ve been stuck in troubleshooting hell before. It sucks.

          Plus RD2 is a fantastic game so I wanted to make sure you got to enjoy it lol.

          Have fun with it.

            I hadn’t had this much trouble since making Battle for Middle Earth 2 work on windows 10 a few years back. I’ll be sure to play the hell out of this now that it works :)

              I’m fairly tech savvy as I’ve been working in and around the IT space for most of my adult life but even I occasionally run into stuff I cannot fix for the life of me.

              No matter what I did I could never get PUBG to run smoothly for me. I literally built 3 different PCs. Moved twice. 3 different internet connections from two different providers. If I ever “hot dropped” I could not loot anything for the first few seconds. My friends never had this issue. But when we would land I would often pick up a gun and ammo and when I went to shoot someone else the gun and all the ammo would teleport outta my hands and onto the floor. To this day I am convinced that I just had a ghost following me around fucking with me over that particular issue. I never got it fixed and eventually I moved onto other games.
