Grand Theft Auto VI benchmark on RTX 3080 12GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Grand Theft Auto VI FPS with a RTX 3080 12GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 63FPS min 55Good | 54FPS min 47Acceptable | 36FPS min 32Acceptable |
| High | 82FPS min 71Good | 71FPS min 62Good | 47FPS min 41Acceptable |
| Medium | 108FPS min 94Good | 92FPS min 80Good | 61FPS min 54Good |
| Low | 139FPS min 121Excellent | 120FPS min 105Excellent | 79FPS min 70Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 13% | GPU 43% |
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 5600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3080 12GB. There is 14% 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 3080 12GB with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 63 | 79 | 91 |
| 1440p | 54 | 73 | 89 |
| 4K | 36 | 52 | 67 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3080 12GB 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.
The RTX 3080 12GB and that processor are well matched in Grand Theft Auto VI: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 3080 12GB Enough for Grand Theft Auto VI?
The RTX 3080 12GB delivers 63 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Grand Theft Auto VI. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 54 FPS and at 4K 36 FPS at Ultra quality.
