Why anyone would unironically play the game with that no trees patch is beyond me, it looks like complete shit.

[KeyvanDN]

Attention: WIth the New Xenia Canary Update (The huge performance boost), RDR runs with 30% performance boost which is not showcased in this video ( this video was recorded prior to the performance boost update of xenia canary)

RDR1 doesn't run too great on my system but it runs a hell of a lot better than GTA4 did on PC at first.

GPU dependance for games is always better. Its so easy to rush into the CPU Bottleneck, people just won't believe it.
Right now, we have the 4090 as the stronget GPU. And not a single CPU can keep up with. Even when OCed to over 5+Ghz.
Its also easier to upgrade your GPU at any time compared to your CPU. So always go for GPU supported Emulators and APIs like DX12/Vulkan if possible. Unless an Emulator specifically states otherwise because.

Great video !


I’m running an i511400f 3060ti RDR1 runs like a dream ! With this emulator. 1440p, I’m still hitting between 50-60fps

[sososaVAL]

xenia much better for this game for anyone watching, with a 5600x and a 3080 i was running capped at 30 constantly going down to 20 on rspc3, with xenia and a few tweaks with the patches i'm running wit post processing on max at 120 + with occasional drops to 85-90

The crazy flickering at the start of this video on the RPCS3 demonstration leads me to believe the RPCS3 version was not using the most optimal settings, seems a little unfair, personally I get about 30 - 45fps on RPCS3 Red Dead Redemption and about 50 in Xenia Red Dead Redemption.

[DarshanBhambhani]

Xenia killed Rpcs3 when it comes to RDR with that new canary update lol

[highoctanesynx]

Playing a stable ultra cinematic 18 FPS on rpcs3 is such an

[ProjectsCity]

where the patch folder ? Didn't come with Xenia folder?

[eurosonly]

That's funny, the rpcsx3 wiki says not to use patches as they reduce fps.

[AliYassinToma]

Shouldnt we consider the Nintendo switch version since it has higher graphics and we have better emulators for that handheld?

[prayitnowignjopranoto]

Using Xenia Canary here. Has anyone ever been stuck in "duel" ? The camera angle will be stuck in duel mode and you won't be able to use camping/fast travel and save the game

[SoulKingBK]

Thanks for mentioning that GPU is a primary factor. I have a great GPU but my CPU is the primary bottleneck for my system, so I think I might download it

[TonyMontanaDS]

There's no patches folder in the latest releases of Xenia.

[AliYassinToma]

I have 3x the gpu power you have with a 3080 and a 10700 cpu.. considering the new xenia update it might be playable with 2x res at 60fps

[monkeygaming]

Where do you find the patches folder is it not in the latest version of xenia?

[iv]

It use to be xbox 360 vs ps3 now is xenia vs rpcs3

[Carl_G_Jung]

30 FPS on a $2000 PC then that a ps3 can do the same for $100. 😂😂😂😂

[titans]

as someone who already has rpcs3 and rdr for it, id much rather just go use my ps3 than download a whole extra emulator for a single game lol i hope someday rpcs3 can find better ways of gpu rendering, even with an 8 core 16 thread cpu at 4.8ghz single core i still run the rpcs3 version at like 20fps and get all sorts of brightly colored visual bugs. i can almost run the last of us with all the graphics settings turned off lmao but the shaders still load way too slow so buildings are untextured when you look at them for the first time and that causes a lot of lag and fps drops
