Looking for some advice.
I have a Gigabyte Radeon RX590 in an Asus H81M-E motherboard with an i5 CPU, 12GB ram (unfortunately I cannot get a new motherboard for about 6 months) in it. Motherboard can accept an i7 that is no longer commonly available and its not worth buying when getting a new board in 6 months.
When I play Red Dead 2 the CPU is at 97% and the GPU is at around 80%.
I have the RD2 in game settings set to low pretty much for every setting. The game now almost looks like Elon's new truck. Trying Vulkan or Direct X in RD2 game settings does not seem to change much, nor the load balancing line in the Rockstargame launcher settings.
Am I doomed expecting this boomer i5 with this decent video card in it to play RD2 at anything other than at the low settings I have it at now to keep system from turning into a crispy fry?
I have tried a bunch of different in game settings.
Might there be some magical settings in the Rd2 game itself, launcher argument or video card tweak software that may help? I assume a higher wattage power supply will not help matters either?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
