Hi! Good catch! Actually yes, this also "fixes" the issue for me. However going fullscreen wuth DX12 makes my FPS drop to 1(!). And not in fulscreen DX12 rendering indeed looks much more glitchy than that of vulkan. So yeah, rockstar didnt optimize RDR2 for PC enough. All the reviews say basically the same. So guess, they need like a half a year more to fix it. Today there was a patch for 3gb - still no fix for the issue.

Wow. 4к 3:2 display, 5gb video memory, what laptop model is that? Surface something?

Still no love from Rockstar. I womder if they are aware of the problem at all and are working on it.

- exactly right. But that's due to my laptop model. Might not work for everyone. But, _generally_, in _gaming_ laptops, they make hdmi be driven by dedicated gpu. -Not that I know of.

Hi. I am about 3 hrs into RDR2 and havent playes the console version, so i guess i have yet to see everything. RDR1 being a masterpice, i realy hope RDR2 is better, cause its 10 years after RDR1 got out

Wow. they did a 2,69 GB update. Fingers crossed this will do the fix UPDATE: No, they did not =(

Well i think they will fix it eventually. i dont think the launcher has anything to do with it. it is just the game. They didnt test it after consoles enough to account for all the possible hardware configurations of PC. Yet. Well, at least they did release RDR2 for PC. they didnt do it with RDR1 still. Which is a huge bummer. RDR1 is masterpiece. Apprently Intel relesed gpu drivers update on 30 of OCT. I thought updating them might help. But, no. Didnt help at all. So... wating for now.

- Yes, _IF_ your laptop works the same way as mine - that is - that the HDMI port uses only Nvidia GPU, not using Intel 620. My current laptop (MSI GS65) uses NVIDIA when pushing image through HDMI. My previous DELL XPS 9550 - used Intel when pushing image out of HDMI. - that won't help you because you set which GPU renders the application and the issue happens when Intel drives the display, regradless of which GPU renders the app. What GPU is used when pushing image through HDMI is hadware defined, most likely you wont be able to change it yourself in software, unless you have some super duper laptop where you can swich which GPU is connected to HDMI, which i am not aware of. - Well, same here. Obviously it is an issue with the RDR2 + Intel chipsets + Nvidia which Rockstat obviously missed when testing the PC version. I believe they were not testing the case of laptops with Intel gpus + Nvidia gpus altogether, cause it is actually not that typical, although common. It is ibviosly RockStars fail. Hopefully it is they will figure this out and fix it in future updates. I tried to post a ticket to support pointing them where the problem is but didin't figure out how to do it. Shows only pre-defined issues to me... Well anyway they should be able fix it without my help...

Hi! Registered just to help. I have troubleshooted the problem, pinpointed it and solved it for me, but, spoiler alert, not sure if you will be able to do the same. So: My config is a gaming laptop. So it has Itel GPU and external Nvidia GPU. When you play on the laptops display OR connect the external display via thundrbolt port - the display is driven my Intel GPU and rendering for some apps and RDR2 obviously is done by Nvidia GPU. And that is where the problem is. Something wrong with this configuration - when display is driven by Intel GPU i get exactly the same problem you have. Now, thankfully, mu laptop also has a HDMI port which hardwarelly conneted to NVIDIA GPU, so when i connect the display throught it - The display is driven by NVIDIA gpu and ALL apps (even chrome, even Excel, everything is rendered by NVIDIA GPU) In this configuratuion - everything works as it should - resolution can be changed and fullscreen is achievable on any resolution - voila. So to resolve the issue you need to drive the display by NVdia GPU only - without INTEL.
