Red Dead Redemption 2 follows the successful GTA gameplay formula – a big open world that can be roamed freely, a lot of missions that are spread all over the map, some interesting side quests, a decent story, and good graphics. This time virtual world takes place back in the Wild West times so you’ll ride horses instead of cars.

The game definitely looks great but it comes with a price – not many laptops out there can max it out with a decent FPS at the same time. The Max preset is a real pain for a lot of GPUs and in most cases, the same goes even for High quality.

For this comparison, we have picked two fast AMD GPUs – AMD Radeon RX 6800M and RX 6600M, Let’s see what kind of performance these two can offer when it comes to Red Dead Redemption 2.

Verdict

First of all, the Max preset is a no-go for the two GPUs because 8xMSAA isn’t available at all – even when we forced it through the “system” file it was fixed at 4x mode. Aside from that, the Radeon RX 6800M is 38% faster on average compared to Radeon RX 6600M and that’s a heft performance gap. If you plan to play this game regularly and you want, the bigger GPU is a good choice, of course, if you can afford it. The smaller sibling can bring good performance to the table (and lower price) if you don’t mind Medium details
