Red Dead Redemption 2

Benchmark data for Red Dead Redemption 2 with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 shows a pairing that delivers strong 1080p performance, solid 1440p results, and more limited 4K headroom. The measured rows range from 164.5 fps at 1080p Low to 36.9 fps at 4K Ultra. The combination is ranked 355th out of 1,687 tested combos, while the CPU sits at the 91st percentile and the GPU at the 83rd percentile among all tested parts.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread CPU on the AMD Socket AM5 platform. It runs at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, with a listed memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. These specifications belong to a desktop chip designed for high multithreaded and single-threaded performance, and the database records an average benchmark score of 40,468 with a 91st percentile standing versus all CPUs.

Its nearest rivals in the database are very close in average score. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940H scores 40,431 with a deltaPct of 0.1, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40,262 with a deltaPct of 0.5, the Intel Core i9-13905H scores 40,712 with a deltaPct of -0.6, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T scores 39,995 with a deltaPct of 1.2. The 7700 therefore sits inside a tight cluster rather than ahead of or behind its nearest competitors by a wide margin.

In Red Dead Redemption 2, the CPU's capabilities show up most clearly at lower settings and resolutions. At 1080p Low the combo averages 164.5 fps, and at 1080p Medium it averages 123.5 fps. Even at 1080p High the average is 99.6 fps. These results indicate that the 8-core, 16-thread CPU with a 5.30 GHz boost is not holding the system back when the GPU has less work to do. The frame rate scales more with resolution and settings than with CPU workload, which points to the GPU as the main constraint once visual load increases.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is based on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and uses 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus. Memory bandwidth is listed at 672.0 GB/s, with a memory clock of 1750 MHz, stated as 28 Gbps effective. The GPU's base clock is 2325 MHz and its boost clock is 2512 MHz. It contains 6,144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 80 raster operation units, 48 RT cores, and 192 tensor cores. The PassMark G3D score is 29,137, and the GPU's average benchmark score is 41,687, placing it at the 83rd percentile versus all GPUs.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the database are also close in average score. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 41,610 with a deltaPct of 0.2, the NVIDIA Tesla M40 scores 41,897 with a deltaPct of -0.5, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 scores 41,441 with a deltaPct of 0.6, and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X scores 41,991 with a deltaPct of -0.7.

Within Red Dead Redemption 2, the GPU's workload is visible in the settings scaling at 4K. The combo averages 78.4 fps at 4K Low, 62.1 fps at 4K Medium, 49.3 fps at 4K High, and 36.9 fps at 4K Ultra. The same GPU produces 164.5 fps at 1080p Low, so the large drop as resolution and settings increase is a sign that the RTX 5070 is the component being pushed harder. The 12 GB GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth provide the memory resources, but the measured row at 4K Ultra shows the ceiling for this pairing in this game.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured rows form a clear pattern: High is the strongest preset at 1080p and 1440p, while Medium is the strongest 4K preset for those who want to stay above the 4K High result.

At 1080p, Low averages 164.5 fps, Medium 123.5 fps, High 99.6 fps, and Ultra 74.7 fps. High is the best match among the measured rows because it keeps the average well above the 4K High figure of 49.3 fps while delivering a higher frame rate than Ultra. Ultra remains usable at 74.7 fps, but High provides more headroom for demanding scenes.

At 1440p, Low averages 125.1 fps, Medium 91.6 fps, High 73.7 fps, and Ultra 52.7 fps. High is the recommended preset here because it is the highest visual tier that still beats the 4K Medium result of 62.1 fps. Medium is the better choice if a larger frame-rate cushion is preferred, since it averages 91.6 fps.

At 4K, Low averages 78.4 fps, Medium 62.1 fps, High 49.3 fps, and Ultra 36.9 fps. Medium is the best experience among the measured rows: it is the highest preset that still stays ahead of the 4K High result of 49.3 fps. Low is available for those who want more speed, while High and Ultra fall below the Medium result.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is ranked 355th out of 1,687 tested combos in Red Dead Redemption 2. This is a strong position in the database, closer to the top of the list than to the middle or bottom.

The CPU's individual standing is 91st percentile among all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 40,468. The GPU's individual standing is 83rd percentile among all GPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 41,687. In other words, the CPU ranks higher among CPUs than the GPU ranks among GPUs, and this game's measured results reflect that balance. The combo's rank of 355 out of 1,687 is consistent with a system where the CPU has a slightly stronger relative position than the GPU.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS values show a consistent drop as resolution rises. At High settings, the average goes from 99.6 fps at 1080p to 73.7 fps at 1440p to 49.3 fps at 4K. At Medium settings, it goes from 123.5 fps at 1080p to 91.6 fps at 1440p to 62.1 fps at 4K. At Low settings, it goes from 164.5 fps at 1080p to 125.1 fps at 1440p to 78.4 fps at 4K. At Ultra settings, it goes from 74.7 fps at 1080p to 52.7 fps at 1440p to 36.9 fps at 4K.

The pattern is the same at every preset: more pixels mean fewer frames per second. The 1080p Low result of 164.5 fps is important because it shows the CPU is capable of feeding a very fast frame rate when the GPU has a lighter load. As resolution increases, the GPU must process more data, and the frame rate falls. The fact that 4K Low still only reaches 78.4 fps, while 1080p High reaches 99.6 fps, indicates that resolution scaling is a GPU-heavy burden for this combo. The limiting component at higher resolutions is the GPU, not the CPU.
