I didn’t realize that RDR was created for less powerful systems and runs well on Switch. I guess I’m thinking of RDR2. Every cross platform game I’ve bought for my Switch so far has been a pretty big bummer.
Not even cross platform games, I was pretty peeved about some of the performance for BOTW (zelda). I mean, I’ve played plenty of laggy games before (and still do) but having paid a hefty price for a brand new system and their leading game to still have noticeable lag spikes just irks me.
No issues since overclocking almost an year ago. Maybe a slight decrease in battery life but that might just be the higher fps in games or my aging switch.
Also you can set per game overclock profiles inside switch. You get the full UI interface these days so even if by some chance it causes issues you can tweak it without leaving your game!
I’m going to try this. My wife bought Civ 6 for the Switch instead of one of our better platforms for some reason, and it runs awful. Each turn takes like 5 minutes for the computer opponents once you have significant development. It’s almost unplayable once you get to advanced eras.

Hard agree but if you want to give it another try then overclocking the RAM to 1600 MHz gets rid of all the stutters in both BOTW and TOTK.
I am now spoiled and can’t play both games otherwise. You would need to flash custom firmware in your switch for this though.
1600? Damn, I didn’t realize it is that slow. Have you had any heat or stability issues after overclocking?
