Grand Theft Auto V benchmark on RX 7800 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Grand Theft Auto V FPS with a RX 7800 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 369FPS min 180Excellent | 298FPS min 157Excellent | 147FPS min 100Excellent |
| High | 480FPS min 234Excellent | 388FPS min 205Excellent | 191FPS min 130Excellent |
| Medium | 500FPS min 244Excellent | 500FPS min 264Excellent | 250FPS min 170Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 244Excellent | 500FPS min 264Excellent | 323FPS min 219Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 66% | CPU 59% | CPU 33% |
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 i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 7800 XT. There is 4% 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.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Grand Theft Auto V 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 7800 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 369 | 461 | 535 | 784 |
| 1440p | 298 | 402 | 492 | 683 |
| 4K | 147 | 213 | 272 | 362 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 7800 XT 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 FSR 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 RX 7800 XT has headroom to spare in Grand Theft Auto V: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RX 7800 XT Enough for Grand Theft Auto V?
The RX 7800 XT delivers 369 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Grand Theft Auto V. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 298 FPS and at 4K 147 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
