Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 benchmark data pairs an AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and records measured average frame rates at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 under Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings. The dataset is marked as measured rather than estimated, and the combined system ranks 105th out of 1687 tested combos in this game. The CPU’s 6 cores, 12 threads, and 75th-percentile standing, paired with the GPU’s 89th-percentile standing, set the stage for a combo that is strong overall but shaped by its CPU.

Resolution Scaling

At High settings, the combo averages 129.3 fps at 1920x1080, 98.3 fps at 2560x1440, and 61.6 fps at 3840x2160. Medium follows a similar path: 145.1 fps, then 115.9 fps, then 76.4 fps. Ultra produces 90.3 fps at 1920x1080, 71.5 fps at 2560x1440, and 46.8 fps at 3840x2160. Low is the outlier. It starts at 157.5 fps at 1920x1080, drops only to 142.3 fps at 2560x1440, and still holds 103.4 fps at 3840x2160.

The Low preset’s frame rates remain high at 3840x2160, which suggests the GPU is not being pushed hard enough to become the main limit at that preset. Instead, the Ryzen 5 4600G appears to cap the upper end of performance at lower resolutions. On Ultra, the 3840x2160 result of 46.8 fps sits well below the 1920x1080 result of 90.3 fps, showing the RTX 5080’s pixel workload becomes the dominant factor as image quality rises. The pattern implies that the limiting component is resolution-dependent: the CPU does more of the pacing work when settings are light, while the GPU takes over at 3840x2160 Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

Across all tested combos in Red Dead Redemption 2, this CPU/GPU pairing is rank 105 out of 1687. The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G carries a 75th-percentile aggregate score among CPUs, while the RTX 5080 sits at the 89th percentile among GPUs. If the GPU’s relative strength were the only factor, the combo might rank much higher; the fact that it does not indicates the CPU pulls the combined result down.

The Ryzen 5 4600G’s aggregate average benchmark score is 17489, and its closest rivals in aggregate benchmarks are the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE at 17482 with a delta of 0 percent, the Intel Core i5-12450H at 17475 with a delta of 0.1 percent, the Intel Core i3-14100T at 17636 with a delta of -0.8 percent, and the Intel Core i3-13100F at 17665 with a delta of -1 percent. These are small differences, so the CPU sits in a crowded performance band. In RDR2, the measured combo rank reflects that CPU band plus the RTX 5080’s contribution.

GPU Role

The RTX 5080 is the strongest component in this pairing. It uses 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus with 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 2295 MHz, its boost clock is 2617 MHz, and its memory clock is 1875 MHz with 30 Gbps effective. The chip contains 10752 shading units, 336 texture units, 112 ROPs, 84 RT cores, and 336 tensor cores. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 8637 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 36565 in Passmark G3D, 264461 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 257942 in Geekbench Vulkan.

Its aggregate average benchmark score is 59188, and its nearest aggregate rivals are the Intel Arc A570M at 58239 with a delta of 1.6 percent, the Intel Arc Pro A60 at 60326 with a delta of -1.9 percent, the Intel Arc A580 at 57756 with a delta of 2.5 percent, and the AMD Radeon Pro W5500X at 57661 with a delta of 2.6 percent.

That aggregate picture matches the game’s 4K behavior. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the combo delivers 46.8 fps, while at 3840x2160 High it delivers 61.6 fps. At 1920x1080 Ultra, the same GPU is only asked to render 90.3 fps. The 16 GB GDDR7 buffer and 960.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are fixed parts of this test; the measured frame-rate differences across presets show how much of that memory subsystem is required as the render load increases.

FAQ

Q: What average frame rate does this combo produce at 1920x1080 High?

A: 129.3 fps. At 2560x1440 High, it falls to 98.3 fps, and at 3840x2160 High it is 61.6 fps.

Q: How does the resolution drop affect the Ultra preset?

A: The Ultra preset averages 90.3 fps at 1920x1080, 71.5 fps at 2560x1440, and 46.8 fps at 3840x2160.

Q: Which component has the higher aggregate standing in this combo?

A: The RTX 5080 is at the 89th percentile among GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 4600G is at the 75th percentile among CPUs. The GPU also has an aggregate average score of 59188, compared with the CPU’s 17489.

Q: What are the CPU’s core and clock specifications?

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 7 nm Zen 2 part codenamed Renoir, built by TSMC with 9800 million transistors on a 156 mm² die. It runs 6 cores and 12 threads at a 3.70 GHz base clock and 4.20 GHz boost clock. The cache layout is 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 8 MB shared L3. It supports DDR4 dual-channel memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. Despite having integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics, the CPU works alongside the RTX 5080 in this benchmark dataset.

Benchmark results for the CPU show a clear multi-thread versus single-thread split. Cinebench R23 multicore is 13593 and single-core is 1919. Cinebench R20 multicore is 5709 and single-core is 805. Cinebench R15 multicore is 1370 and single-core is 193. 3DMark max threads is 4889, 2 threads is 1430, 4 threads is 2732, 8 threads is 4138, and single thread is 726. Passmark multithread is 15992 and single thread is 2653. The aggregate average benchmark score is 17489.

These numbers place the CPU at the 75th percentile with close aggregate neighbors: the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE at 17482 with a delta of 0 percent, the Intel Core i5-12450H at 17475 with a delta of 0.1 percent, the Intel Core i3-14100T at 17636 with a delta of -0.8 percent, and the Intel Core i3-13100F at 17665 with a delta of -1 percent.

In RDR2, the CPU’s role shows up in the Low preset. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo reaches 157.5 fps; at 1920x1080 Medium it is 145.1 fps; at 1920x1080 High it is 129.3 fps; at 1920x1080 Ultra it is 90.3 fps. The increase from Low to Ultra lowers frame rate, but the 1920x1080 Low figure is still not as far above the 3840x2160 Low figure as a pure GPU-bound curve would produce. This indicates the CPU’s multi-threaded 12-thread workload and 4.20 GHz boost are sufficient to drive the GPU to high frame rates, but not sufficient to avoid capping the very highest Low-preset results. In this game’s measured data, the 6-core/12-thread configuration at the 75th percentile is the most likely limiting factor when rendering load is light.
