📋 About This Mod
NOW SUPPORTS VULKAN GRAPHICS API
! No longer maintained due to the addition of an official FSR implementation from Rockstar !
Based on PotatoOfDoom's Cyberpunk 2077 FSR2. 0 mod, this mod brings AMD's FideltyFX Super Resolution 2. 0 to Red Dead Redemption 2; replacing its DLSS implementation. With similar-to-dlss performance gains and improved visual fidelity this mod is perfect if you struggle to run Red Dead Redemption 2 at your native resolution on a non-RTX graphics card.
Again, the implementation of this mod is based on PotatoOfDoom's Cyberpunk FSR 2. 0 mod (Github) so updates concerning FSR 2. 0 bugs will most likely be mainly handled by himself and the rest of the open-source community. I have simply made a loader for his mod and implemented the correct ViewMatrix offset!
You can view the source code for this project here.
Please, if you want extended support for PotatoOfDoom's almost universal FSR 2. 0 implementation so mods like this can continue to be updated and have bugs squashed, support him here!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community adoption (1,287 endorsements, 61k downloads) shows it works for many players
- Gives non-RTX cards a real performance boost with quality similar to DLSS
- Simple drop-in install—no mod manager needed, just unzip and go
⚠️ Cons
- No longer maintained—Rockstar added official FSR, so this mod is outdated and may have unfixed bugs
- Requires enabling DLSS in-game even though it's actually FSR, which can confuse players
- Potential compatibility issues with overlays (MSI Afterburner, Steam, Discord) causing Social Club errors
For RDR2 players on AMD or older Nvidia GPUs who want DLSS-like performance without an RTX card. Also for tinkerers who enjoy open-source mods and don't mind manual file placement. Skip if you already use Rockstar's official FSR or prefer a maintained mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you get Social Club error 4, restart the game up to 3 times and disable overlays like MSI Afterburner or Discord.
- Make sure you're on a legit, updated copy of RDR2 to avoid the FFFFFF error message.
- For black screens or crashes, set asyncComputeEnabled to false in your system.xml file in Documents.
