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.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 102 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 75 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 53 to 84 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 734% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 660) for Grand Theft Auto V. The EPYC 7351P is 319% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-3470).
The EPYC 7351P determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GPU has headroom.
At 1440p ultra, the EPYC 7351P sets the ceiling at about 75 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 134 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 44% (FPS gap: 59 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your EPYC 7351P is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 18% | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 34% | CPU Limits GPU 37% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 36% | CPU Limits GPU 43% | CPU Limits GPU 44% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 39% | CPU Limits GPU 38% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The EPYC 7351P + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 13% and 54% and GPU utilization between 84% and 100%. EPYC 7351P keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 93% at 1080p to 94% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 47% to 25%.
This profile is GPU-bound. At 1080p (Full HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 96% usage (91-100%), while the EPYC 7351P stays at 46% (38-54%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 47% and GPU 93%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 27% and GPU 93%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 25% and GPU 94%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1080p (Full HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 47% (42-52%) and GPU 92% (84-100%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 7351P remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 96% average load at 1080p (Full HD) Ultra while the EPYC 7351P still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.
Understanding Hardware Utilization & Bottlenecks: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. This is the key to identifying performance bottlenecks in any system.

Yes, the EPYC 7351P paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Grand Theft Auto V smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 75 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 734% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 319% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Grand Theft Auto V, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The EPYC 7351P is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 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: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
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.
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 7351P and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
