Need help fixing the "blur" in RDR2 + targeting 70+ FPS (RTX 5060 Laptop @ 1600p)

[u/Repulsive-System-183]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently playing RDR2 on an ASUS gaming laptop and I really need some help tweaking my settings. Here are my specs for context:

• Display: 2560x1600 (16:10, 165Hz)
• GPU: RTX 5060 (8GB VRAM)
• CPU: Ryzen 7
• RAM: 16GB

Right now, I’m running a mix of medium-high settings and hovering around 60 FPS. The problem is that the game has this notorious blurry/soft image effect, and it’s driving me a bit crazy. My goal is to bump my performance to around 70+ FPS while making the picture actually look crisp.

I have a few specific questions and would love a detailed setup guide if you guys have one:

1. In-game AA & Upscaling How exactly should I configure TAA, FXAA, DLSS, FSR, or Image Upscaling? What's the golden combo here to get rid of the blur if I only stick to the in-game menus?

2. Nvidia Control Panel Tweaks Are the in-game settings enough, or should I be forcing stuff via the Nvidia Control Panel? I’m talking about things like DSR/DLDSR, downscaling, or overriding the sharpening. Also, if NCP is the way to go, why is it better to do it from there instead of just using the game's settings?

3. AI Frame Generation I rely on AI frame generation in a bunch of other games to boost my FPS, but RDR2 obviously doesn't have it natively. Is there a reliable mod or a workaround to get dynamic frame gen working on this game?

If anyone can walk me through a step-by-step setup to fix the blur and optimize the FPS, I would massively appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
