Grand Theft Auto VI benchmark on RTX 3060: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Grand Theft Auto VI FPS with a RTX 3060 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 31FPS min 27Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| High | 52FPS min 46Acceptable | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 19FPS min 17Poor |
| Medium | 68FPS min 60Good | 52FPS min 46Acceptable | 25FPS min 22Poor |
| Low | 89FPS min 78Good | 68FPS min 60Good | 32FPS min 29Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 36% | GPU 51% | GPU 77% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3060. There is 5% 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 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 RTX 3060 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 40 | 50 | 58 |
| 1440p | 31 | 42 | 51 |
| 4K | 15 | 22 | 28 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3060 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RTX 3060 is what caps the frame rate in Grand Theft Auto VI. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RTX 3060 Enough for Grand Theft Auto VI?
The RTX 3060 delivers 40 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 31 FPS and at 4K 15 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
