Based on Digital Foundry's classic 'What does it take to run at 60fps?' analysis: a GTX 1060 6GB / RX 580 with an i7-8700K-class CPU hits a locked 60FPS at 1080p with PS4-equivalent visuals by mixing High/Medium/Low. RDR2's 40+ settings scale beautifully - this config targets the biggest performance wins for minimal visual loss.

Notes
Digital Foundry / community optimized highlights: use the Vulkan API (smoother than DX12); Reflection Quality -> Low (+8-9% FPS, one of the heaviest settings); Tree Tessellation -> Off (+9%, near-invisible); Grass Shadows -> Low (+13% to minimum FPS); Water/Volumetric quality -> Medium. Prefer DLSS/FSR over MSAA. On a GTX 1060 6GB / RX 580 at 1080p this holds ~60FPS with PS4-equivalent image quality. A faster GPU lets you raise Reflections and Water toward High.Hardware
