First of all, your RX 580 doesnt support mesh shaders so poor performance is expected.
Second it totally disagree with you, this game is one of the most beautiful game i have ever played (and i played pretty much all the AAA games).
The geometric details are insane, the volumetric effects, the lightning, global illumination, shadows, everything is truly next gen.
RDR2 (the exemple you gave) isn’t near this game lightning, effects, geometry, or global illumination. And that’s even before enabling RT or pathtracing.
I trully think this game optimisation is REALLY GOOD. Don’t get fooled by the graphics presets names because even low settings here is better than most game high settings (your RDR2 included).
And talking about optimisation, my OCed 7900xt Can Do max settings 1440p fsr2 quality, with RT maxed out , denoiser maxed out, and path tracing indirect lightning at medium, and i get around 42-50fps before AFMF and 80-100fps with AFMF on most part of the game and intown. The most demanding area is the forest which dips to 60-65fps with AFMF.
That’s impressive for an AMD cars WITH PATHTRACING enabled. So yes this game is demanding, but the graphics are worth the demand, and the optimization IS really good in my opinion.
Sorry that your 580 isn’t cutting it in this game, but you have to have realistic expectations.
