Grand Theft Auto VI benchmark on GTX 1080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Grand Theft Auto VI FPS with a GTX 1080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 32FPS min 28Acceptable | 24FPS min 21Poor | 12FPS min 11Unplayable |
| High | 42FPS min 37Acceptable | 32FPS min 28Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| Medium | 55FPS min 49Acceptable | 42FPS min 37Acceptable | 20FPS min 18Poor |
| Low | 71FPS min 63Good | 54FPS min 48Acceptable | 25FPS min 22Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 48% | GPU 61% | GPU 81% |
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 VI, 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 VI 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 1080 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 32 | 40 | 46 |
| 1440p | 24 | 32 | 40 |
| 4K | 12 | 17 | 22 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1080 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 1080 is what caps the frame rate in Grand Theft Auto VI. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 1080 Enough for Grand Theft Auto VI?
The GTX 1080 delivers 32 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Grand Theft Auto VI. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 24 FPS and at 4K 12 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
