The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 0% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition, it is not worth it. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
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 980 Ti with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 30 | 38 | 44 |
| 1440p | 22 | 30 | 36 |
| 4K | 9 | 13 | 17 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 980 Ti has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 980 Ti is what caps the frame rate in Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 980 Ti Enough for Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition?
The GTX 980 Ti delivers 30 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 22 FPS and at 4K 9 FPS at Ultra quality.
