980ti should be OK for 1080p maybe, but for suckers like me on 1440p I am going to have to drop a lot of settings I feel

980ti is ok for 1440p for the majority of games, used to use one and then 2. A single 980ti ran 1440p no problem on max settings for the most part.

Depends who you got it from, if its from Rockstar or Cdkeys then yes, not sure about others though

Not bought it yet mate, just looking now it's £41 on g2a, just trying to compare prices.

For anyone considering getting the special edition from cdkeys just a heads up, you can buy it from rockstars own website for only £5 more.
Yes this is not a money saving tip but at least you know you're fully supporting the devs for their hard work.

Also zero chance of your key being revoked at a later date and you get to pick a free rockstar game.

BTW, did they change that? When I got it from Rockstar I got 2 free rockstar games but I see a lot of people saying that its only one now?

Will pick it up shortly, looking good this game so let's hope it isn't yet another PC letdown.

You know guys I really don't like Rockstar Launcher and would rather avoid it personally. If I get this through Epic, does it still connect with the Rockstar Launcher when ran?

willhub · 5 Nov 2019 at 11:28

I only got one, not fussed though as own GTA V, San Andreas, La Noir now, Max Payne 3, bully is cack.

I would go with CDKeys, Voidu or Rockstar direct.

I'd say more than likely yes. Chances are that no matter where you get it from you will have to have the Rockstar launcher. No avoiding it if you want to play RDR2

Only way to avoid it = get an Xbox, put PC in bin.

I hope there’s a built in bench to optimise before starting the game.

Yep.

Just as in steam the launcher will well errm launch when you go to play. Also Epic is incredibly expensive compared to Rockstar and there is/was no preload from what I had seen online.

I will say CDKey's is fine to get it from myself. They are not a market place for keys like G2A and have great support.

I would sooner amputate all my limbs than play games on a console

Amputate your limbs and you won't need to use the Rockstar launcher

At least not until there is TrackIR support

robfosters · 5 Nov 2019 at 11:41

Never have I heard so much moaning about a launcher. Just click the desktop shortcut, job done.
