YouTuber Playing RDR 2 at 4 FPS Goes Viral

A YouTuber garnered significant attention on social media after attempting to play Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4 FPS, a nearly unplayable level of performance. The patience of the player, who spent a full 12 hours to complete a single mission, surprised everyone.

Clips quickly went viral when the content creator known as Mongo TV shared this painfully slow-paced gameplay. While most players aim for at least 60 FPS for a smooth experience, Mongo TV’s setup doesn’t come anywhere near that number.

According to information shared by the Danish YouTuber, the game is running on an old laptop featuring an Intel i5-8300H processor and an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti graphics card with 4GB VRAM. Although the hardware technically meets the minimum requirements, the result is a total FPS drop disaster.

RDR2 Journey Could Last Nearly 500 Hours

Mongo TV revealed that completing just the opening chapter of the game took over 12 hours. Under normal circumstances, this section can be completed in an average of 2 hours. At 4 FPS, every movement becomes sluggish, commands are delayed, and even the simplest grind processes become impossible. Riding a horse or aiming turns into pure torture due to the system’s failure to respond.

This extreme slowdown means that finishing the entire game could take 471 hours. This is many times longer than a normal playthrough. It seems that progressing at this speed is no different from examining every detail of the game in “heavy motion.”

Red Dead Redemption 2 is considered one of Rockstar Games ‘ greatest masterpieces, ranking as the 4th best-selling game of all time. Following this success, all eyes are turned to GTA 6, where expectations have reached their peak.

Still, experiencing this masterpiece at 4 FPS is probably the worst choice one could make, but it has certainly turned into a very popular video series for the content creator.
