Red Dead Redemption 2 benchmark on RTX 5060: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Red Dead Redemption 2 FPS with a RTX 5060 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 68FPS min 55Good | 54FPS min 47Acceptable | 30FPS min 27Acceptable |
| High | 88FPS min 71Good | 71FPS min 62Good | 39FPS min 35Acceptable |
| Medium | 116FPS min 94Good | 92FPS min 80Good | 51FPS min 45Acceptable |
| Low | 150FPS min 122Excellent | 119FPS min 104Good | 66FPS min 58Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 10% | GPU 13% | GPU 52% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 5060. There is 15% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Red Dead Redemption 2 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 5060 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 68 | 85 | 99 | 145 |
| 1440p | 54 | 73 | 89 | 124 |
| 4K | 30 | 44 | 56 | 75 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 5060 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 5060 has headroom to spare in Red Dead Redemption 2: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 5060 Enough for Red Dead Redemption 2?
The RTX 5060 delivers 68 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Red Dead Redemption 2. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 54 FPS and at 4K 30 FPS at Ultra quality.

RTX 5060 or RTX 4060 Ti 16GB for Red Dead Redemption 2?
In Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 68 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
