Grand Theft Auto V FPS on EPYC 4364P + GeForce RTX 5090

Grand Theft Auto V

While the base game is older and lighter, GTA V remains relevant due to FiveM RP servers, which drastically increase RAM and CPU consumption due to mods and scripts. The official 'Enhanced' version also recommends modern hardware to handle increased traffic density.

Performance Limiter Analysis

EPYC 4364P|GeForce RTX 5090

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.

📈Analysis

This CPU/GPU pair is mostly balanced in Grand Theft Auto V. Across tested presets: GPU limits in 0/12, CPU limits in 0/12, and balanced in 12/12. Peak observed performance in the sampled cells is around 277 FPS.

Verdict

Well Balanced

The EPYC 4364P and GeForce RTX 5090 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.

Percentages show how much potential FPS of the stronger component is lost because the other component has a lower FPS ceiling.
🧠Methodology

We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.

Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.

CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.

A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

Frequently Asked Questions

1Can the EPYC 4364P and GeForce RTX 5090 run Grand Theft Auto V well?

Yes, the EPYC 4364P paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run Grand Theft Auto V smoothly up to 4k achieving around 97 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 751% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 476% above the recommended requirements.

2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run Grand Theft Auto V?

This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $3034 ($334 CPU + $2700 GPU). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the EPYC 9375F is a great upgrade option for around $5306 (Rank #5 for value).

3Which component should I upgrade first to improve Grand Theft Auto V performance?

For Grand Theft Auto V, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The EPYC 4364P is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 5090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.

4Does this setup support Frame Generation for Grand Theft Auto V?

Grand Theft Auto V does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.

5What are the minimum and recommended specs for Grand Theft Auto V?

Grand Theft Auto V requires at minimum a Core 2 Quad Q6600 (CPU) and GeForce 9800 GT (GPU) with 4 GB RAM and 72 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-3470 and GeForce GTX 660 with 8 GB RAM. Your EPYC 4364P and GeForce RTX 5090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.

6How accurate are these Grand Theft Auto V FPS estimates for the EPYC 4364P and GeForce RTX 5090?

These Grand Theft Auto V FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.

Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.

Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
