man this game has been so frustrating! i tried these exact settings on my MSI ge76raider with the RTX 3080 and I9 processor and i surely thought this laptop was capable of running this game pretty high in detail but for some odd reason even with your exact settings it still skips sometimes. if anyone could offer help id greatly appreciate it!

So, these settings are for videocards of the RTX xx60 - xx70 series. You forgot to mention that.

Great settings but for anyone who is still a rookie to rdr2, DO NOT USE TAA HIGH unless if you want a blurry experience.

UNLOCKED VOLUMETRIC RAYMARCH RESOLUTION: ON

This option can be quite taxing and it only really makes the clouds look a little nicer.
