Red Dead Redemptionis finally available on PC, thanks to Double Eleven and Rockstar Games. This is one of the most requested ports for the platform, and the studio has done a great job of bringing the classic title to modern platforms, as well as PC. However, Red Dead Redemption is currently capped at 144 FPS, even if you have thehorsepowerto push it beyond that. Thankfully, the modding community has already unlocked the framerate in Red Dead Redemption, and here is how you can install that.
Unlock the Framerate in Red Dead Redemption
A mod created byClippy95does exactly what it states, and unlocks the 144 FPS framerate cap in Red Dead Redemption. With the mod, it’s capped at 1000 FPS, which is more than enough. Here is the mod in action on my RTX 4070 Super paired with a Ryzen 7 5700X3D.
Installing the mod is pretty simple, and you’re able to follow the steps below:
After that, the framerate will be unlocked in-game. Based on our testing so far, the mod doesn’t seem to break anything. You can further cap the framerate to your liking using the GPU drive like NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Adrenalin, especially if the framerate is hovering beyond your monitor’s refresh rate.
You can also use NVIDIA Reflex with G-Sync to apply a framerate cap relative to your monitor’s refresh rate. This works well with the mod and removes manual frame limiting from the equation.
Removing the Mod
Removing the mod is pretty simple. Head over to where Red Dead Redemption is installed, and delete the following files.
This mod also works perfectly with Rose’s patch toadd ultrawide support to Red Dead Redemption’s cutscenes. To further improve your experience, ensure to check out how you canfix any controller issues in Red Dead Redemption, and locate yourlocal progress to backup.
