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 157 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 134 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 92 FPS.
The TITAN RTX is 340% 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 TITAN RTX sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (high/ultra), 1440p ultra, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/medium), 1440p (low/medium/high).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1669.3400000000001. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 157 FPS, equivalent to 0.09 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 medium, the TITAN RTX sets the ceiling at about 144 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 163 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 12% (FPS gap: 19 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 8/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 4/12.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and TITAN RTX stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 10% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 10% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 10% | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 12% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the TITAN RTX can run Grand Theft Auto V smoothly up to 4k achieving around 92 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 340% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 573% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1669.3400000000001 ($465.38 CPU + $1203.96 GPU). Your TITAN RTX is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($1203.96) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti for around $799 (Rank #248 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance while costing less than your current GPU.
For Grand Theft Auto V, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The TITAN RTX 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 high, 1080p ultra, 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 TITAN RTX 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.
