Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition benchmark on RTX 2080 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition FPS with a RTX 2080 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 68FPS min 55Good | 56FPS min 49Acceptable | 33FPS min 29Acceptable |
| High | 88FPS min 71Good | 73FPS min 64Good | 43FPS min 38Acceptable |
| Medium | 115FPS min 93Good | 95FPS min 83Good | 57FPS min 50Acceptable |
| Low | 149FPS min 121Excellent | 123FPS min 107Excellent | 73FPS min 65Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 10% | GPU 10% | GPU 47% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 2080 Ti. There is 19% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. 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.
DLSS 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 RTX 2080 Ti with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 68 | 85 | 99 |
| 1440p | 56 | 76 | 92 |
| 4K | 33 | 48 | 61 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2080 Ti does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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.
With that CPU, the RTX 2080 Ti has headroom to spare in Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 2080 Ti Enough for Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition?
The RTX 2080 Ti delivers 68 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 56 FPS and at 4K 33 FPS at Ultra quality.
