It makes no difference which processor you have: with the GTX 1060 3GB in Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1060 3GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 23 | 29 | 33 |
| 1440p | 14 | 19 | 23 |
| 4K | 6 | 9 | 11 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1060 3GB has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
