I've been experiencing some pretty frustrating graphics glitches in Red Dead Redemption 2. As I get closer to certain objects, they flicker, and I notice that some lights blink too. It's even worse when I move the camera; I see cups on tables just disappearing and reappearing out of nowhere. I don't really have a clue what's causing this since I'm able to run other games like Assassin's Creed and Cyberpunk at 4K Ultra without any issues. Can anyone help me figure this out? My setup is pretty recent—an Area 51 PC with a 5090 GPU, paired with an Alienware 32-inch 4K QDOLED 240Hz monitor.

I feel your pain! I've faced similar issues. I’ve reinstalled my NVIDIA drivers a couple of times too, and even updated from the Dell site but it didn’t help much. I switched between DLSS settings and reinstalled RDR2, but still no luck. I suspect it might be a compatibility issue with the game and the 5000 series GPUs since they’re pretty new and might still have driver bugs. I’d suggest Googling your specific issues to see if someone else has figured it out. Even though RDR2 has been out for a while, newer GPUs like yours might not be a priority for fixes right now.
Honestly, it seems like you might have to do some digging. This isn’t primarily a support forum for RDR2, but switching from DX12 to Vulkan (or vice versa) could help! Just give that a shot if you haven’t already.
It definitely sounds like a GPU compatibility issue considering the hardware you have. Keep an eye out for updates; they might patch it eventually.
