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, frame rates range from 58 to 122 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 45 to 103 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 30 to 67 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 760 Ti is 16% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 660) for Grand Theft Auto V. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 573% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-3470).
The GeForce GTX 760 Ti sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $714.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 58 FPS, equivalent to 0.08 FPS per dollar.

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.
At 4k ultra, the GeForce GTX 760 Ti sets the ceiling at about 34 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 115 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 70% (FPS gap: 81 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce GTX 760 Ti is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 47% | GPU Limits CPU 49% | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 67% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 50% | GPU Limits CPU 51% | GPU Limits CPU 59% | GPU Limits CPU 69% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 60% | GPU Limits CPU 63% | GPU Limits CPU 70% |
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.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GeForce GTX 760 Ti will struggle to run Grand Theft Auto V at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 58 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $714.38 ($465.38 CPU + $249 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce GTX 980 for around $549 (Rank #79 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Grand Theft Auto V, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce GTX 760 Ti is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-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 Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GeForce GTX 760 Ti 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.
