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 RX 480 8GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 24 | 30 | 35 |
| 1440p | 15 | 20 | 25 |
| 4K | 6 | 9 | 11 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 480 8GB has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.

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 RX 480 8GB is what caps the frame rate in Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
