Red Dead Redemption 2 is a demanding game, but this wild west can be tamed with the right settings.

If Nvidia don't release a driver that massively improves performance, I can imagine when AMD release their RTX 2080 Super competitor whenever they do, it could actually match a 2080Ti. It's interesting considering GTA V has been one of AMD's worst games. It's one of the most popular of all time yet AMD could never catch Nvidia.

I am just surprised he got the game to launch let alone testing it 
Kudos.I'm not buying due to that reason. I bought GTA5, played it for 10 minutes and hated it. I think I need to consult a shrink to deal with my hatred of console controller games!

it's just always felt like an amazing world, yet the content is just like, mini games. IDK. Just not for me.
I love playing GTA just for the sandbox aspect but I don't think I have spent more than 20 minutes playing the actual game properly. Same goes for Just Cause tbh. I spent about 40 hours playing JC2 just messing around lol.

Firstly, great vid, and write-up, guys, top notch.
loved the side by side comparisons, however, whilst you mentioned that the colour was more on point with team red, i have to say it looks especially more sharp too. I was wondering if that was a setup/recording issue or perhaps a driver smoothing/sharpening enhancement. but to me it just looked visibly nicer, from the team red, when the 5700-2060s multiscreen is on, I can quite clearly see the difference, and it just repeats again when the 5700xt-2070s are on together.
not a criticism, just noting it.
just a couple screengrabs and then saving to jpg, isnt the best way to compare, but these two are what im on about.
thanks for the work. will try shoehorning it to work better on my ol girl tomorrow.

Annnnd I'm a hypocrite and bought it, LOL. I'm actually more interested in the benchmark, and to see if dual GPUs will actually get used here. Had some issues setting it up (the phrase 'Rockstar Social Club' now officially makes me gag), but it's running. Already crashed once, so far so good, LOL!
I also have a second rig with a Radeon VII, so I can compare team red and green together, albeit with different screens. AMD has always had better default colors than Nvidia, like for decades now. Not sure why, but it's unmistakable. Color quality on the green side has always been more 'pale', at least without tweaking anything.
Initial impressions: this is the new Crysis, as Tom alluded to in the video. It's a killer. First benchmark at stock settings using Vulkan, with two 1080TI's and a 3900x 12 core got me a whole 45fps at 3440x1440 100hz. That's all default graphics settings (looks like it auto-set most things to ultra, but some to medium). Applying my OC profile to my GPUs brought that up to a 50fps average. Tweaking will need to be done for sure.

Now do the same with single GPU and see if you actually get more fps like most of the games being released today.
Noticed it in The Outer Worlds. SLI=60fps, single GPU 75.
