Red Dead Redemption 2

The following analysis is based on measured performance data for Red Dead Redemption 2 running on an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with an NVIDI RTX 4080. The measured frame rates were obtained across four quality presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) at three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160). All values are directly from the measurements; no synthetic scores are extrapolated here unless explicitly referenced. The system ranked 317th out of 3714 tested combos for this game.

Resolution Scaling

Read dead Redemption 2 is a demanding title, and the scaling of the average frame rate with resolution is steep. At the Low preset, the system produces 190 FPS at 1920x1080. Dropping to 2560x1440 takes that down to 145 FPS, and a further drop to 3840x2160 yields 96 FPS. That is a reduction of 45 FPS between 1080p and 1440p, and another 49 FPS between 1440p and 4K - so the frame count nearly collapses when moving from Full HD to 4K. The same pattern occurs for the Medium preset, which runs at 145 FPS at 1080p, 108 FPS at 1440p, and 72 FPS at 4K. High preset starts at 121 FPS at 1080p, decends to 90 FPS at 1440p, and reaches 60 FPS at 4K. Ultra preset ist the most demanding: 1080p delivers 87 FPS, but 1440p drops to 65 FPS, and 4K sinks to 43 FPS.

The scaling is not linear: the difference between 1440p and 4K is consistently larger than the gap between 1080p and 1440p. This indicates that the GPU, the RTX 4080, becomes the dominating factor at higher resolutions. This is a typical pattern for modern titles, and the frame rates confirm that this couplet with a 6-core/12-thread CPU does not hold back the graphics card untill you already increase the resolution to 4K. The data set also includes FPS min/max values for the Medium preset: at 1080p the range is 123-167 HPS, at 1440p it's 92-125 HPS, and at 4K it's 61-82 FPS. These minimums show that even at 4K Medium, the frame rate does not drop off of the playable range, though it doesn't approach the far higher ceilings seen at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

When looking at the measured rows, the best defined choice depends on the target resolution and whether you were to prioritize smoothness over visual magnitude. For 1080p, all presets give a playable frame rate because the High preset yields 121 FPS, Ultra 87 FPS, and even the most demanding Ultra at 4K would be unplayably low, but at 1080p it's fine. For a 1440p display, High gives 90 FPS and Ultra gives 65 FPS; both are above 60, so you could enjoy Ultra and still be playable. However, for 2160p (4K), the High preset lands at exactly 60 FPS, which is a common ≈60FPS target, while Ultra drops to 43 FPS, which is not considered smooth. The Medium at 4K provides 72 FPS, which can be a good compromise. Looking at the data, the High preset ist the best „all-day“ recommend ton: at 1080p it holds 121 FPS (over 100th), at 1440p it's 90 FPS, at 4K it's 60 FPS. If you want extra fps headroom without sacrificing much visualceiling, the Medium preset offers a significant boost (145 FPS at 1080p/108 FPS at 1440p/72 FPS at 4K) but also includes the only measured min/max frame rates, showing it is also the most stable at each resolution. The Ultra is best pinned for 1080p users (87 FPS) or 1440p users (65 FPS) who want the absolute highest quality setting, but it fails to keep a solid 4K experience. The fully Low preset is a tool for achieving very high framerates (e.g., 190 at 1080p) if you are competing in a quick skill-based activity, but it sacrifices image quality. As a baseline, High is the sweet spot – it delivers a frame rate at or near 60 FPS at every resolution, and it's playable.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-read processor based on Zen 3 (Cezanne) architecture, sitting in the 5000-series. It runs at a base clock of 3.90 GHz and boosts up to 4.40 GHz, with a 3-share L3 cache of 16 MB. Those specifications determine how fast the processor can feed the game's simulation and object logic. In this pairing with the RTX 4080, the frame rate results across resolutions indicate a classic CPU/GPU division of labor. In particular, at 1080p the processor must be able to cope with very high frame rates – the Low preset reaches 190 FPS, which is high for a modern title. At 1920x1080, the RTX 4080's capability is underutilized, so the 5600G shows its strength in sustained high FPS. This is backed by the CPU's multi-thread compute: it scores 10551 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1405 in single-core; the average benchmark score of 21088 (percentile 74) places it in the upper half of all CPUs, with its nearest competitor target being the Core i3-1220P within 0.1% . , the ryzen 5 5600G also has 6 cores/12 threads and a 16MB cache which is enough for Red Dead Redemption 2's thread requests. At higher resolutions (1440p and 4K), the frame rate drops proportionally more, which is a clear sign that the GPU becomes the bottlenecks rather than the CPU. The scalability of the FPS from 1080p to 4K suggests that the 5600G is not holding back the RTX 4080; otherwise the scaling would be more flat. Thus, the CPU role is best described as „competently polished“ – it has enough core/clock performance to extract the maximum from the RTX 4080 in all measured presets, but it does not produce the same level of raw compute as the RTX 4080 can still rely on.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database for , this pairing of a Ryzen 5 5600G and RTX 4080 is rated at rank 317 out of a total 3714 combos. That places the comble in the top 10% of tested hardware pairs (317/3714 are above it). In absolute terms, this system is a solid performer that delivers actual gaming experience in the top decile. The RTX 4080, as the graphics component, has an average benchmark score of 54247 (percentile is 86), with its nearest competitor being the RTX 4080 Super within a 0.0.1% margin and the Radeon Pro W5700X within -1.1% uncertainty. The system CPU, the 5600G, has an average score of 21088 . When comparing to the other tested combos, this ranking reflects the unbalanced nature of the pairing: a fast GPU with a mid-range CPU. But the measured FPS values we see that the combo still delivers 60 FPS at 4K High, which is impressive and beats many costlier combos (no further numbers needed). The combo rank sagests that while the 5600G is not the strongest CPU, it does not hurt the overall experince to a large degree; the RTX 4080 carries the visual load.

FAQ

Q: Where does the RTX 4080 plus 5600G sustain at 4K?

A: The measured 4K data is: Low 000000says 96 FPS, Medium 72 FPS, High 60 FPS, and Ultra 43 FPS. N average, only Medium and High remain above 60, while Ultra dips below.

Q: Which preset gives the highest FPS at 1080p?

A: The Low preset gives the highest measured 1080p frame rate at 190 FPS; Medium yields 145 FPS, High gives 121, and Ultra 87.

Q: How fast is the CPU in single-thread benchmark?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600G scores 1409 in Cinebench R23 single-thread and 1801 in Geekset single-core transitions, that numbers are from the spec sheet.

Q: For the Medium preset, which resolution has the smallest min-to-max spread?

A: The midum 4K has a range of 61-000 FPS, while each lower res has a wider spread; the absolute midpoints ( 108 -145 ) are in the pack.

Q: Is the combo more CPU-bound or GPU-bound?**

A: The FPS drop is much higher when moving to 4K, and the two data point are that 1080 Low concludes 190 while 4K Low all 96, showing that the GPU is the leading limiting factor at res.

Q: Does the 5600G bottleneck the RTX 4080 at 1440p?**

A: At 1440p, the high (120) and ultra (190) still achieve near the playable range, with many still 00 FPS for High, therewich indicates the CPU is not the frame-cap at that res.

The Low presets consistently produce the frame rate ceilings, while Ultra imposes the largest penalty at every resolution. Only the Medium preset includes the min and max rows, from which the variance at 1080p Medium ranges from 123 to 167 FPS, a 44 FPS spread, while 4K Medium spreads from 61 to 82 FPS, a 21 FPS spread. So the higher the res, the smoother the frame delivery for Medium.
