A NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super paired with a Intel Core i5-13600K lands around 44 fps in GTA V at 4K with Ultra+ textures, Ultra+ shadows and no upscaling. Ray tracing is left off on this pairing. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.
Based on benchmark data and community reports for this hardware combination — treat as an estimate, not a guarantee. How we calculate this.
Grand Theft Auto V remains easy to run in its base configuration and surprisingly hard to run at the top of its advanced graphics section. Extended distance scaling and extended shadow distance can cut the frame rate in half on their own while changing very little in normal play.
The built-in benchmark also flatters your setup: it does not reproduce the traffic and pedestrian density of downtown Los Santos, and it certainly does not reproduce a full Online lobby. Test where you actually play.
Covers the current enhanced PC build. Los Santos traffic is the CPU reference; the built-in benchmark understates real load.
