How the AMD Radeon RX 560 measures up
| Requirement | AMD Radeon RX 560 | Minimum | Recommended | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPU performance score | 7 | 9 | 15 | Below |

Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the low preset. High settings fall short here, so drop the preset before touching resolution.
At 1440p
Around 17 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 10 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
Upscaling
Red Dead Redemption 2 supports DLSS and FSR. Your card supports FSR — Quality mode is worth 25–40% more frames. Compare upscalers.

Frequently asked questions
Can the AMD Radeon RX 560 run Red Dead Redemption 2?
The AMD Radeon RX 560 falls below the minimum requirement for Red Dead Redemption 2. Expect it to run poorly or refuse to launch.
What FPS will I get?
On high settings with upscaling off: roughly 27 FPS at 1080p, 17 FPS at 1440p and 10 FPS at 4K. These are modelled estimates — see our methodology.
What settings should I use?
Start at the low preset at 1080p. Then enable upscaling on Quality mode before lowering anything further.
Will my processor hold this back?
These figures assume a processor fast enough not to limit the card. If yours is older, run the bottleneck calculator — this title leans on the GPU, so a modest CPU deficit costs less.
