Performance Analysis
At 1080p high, our model places NVIDIA RTX 4060 near 100 FPS in GTA V. At 1440p, that typically translates to around 74 FPS with similar quality targets. This places the card in the mid tier for this title, with a smooth experience profile. NVIDIA RTX 4060 provides smooth gameplay in GTA V, with enough headroom for visual tweaks.
GTA V remains an industry titan, packing Los Santos with incredibly impressive details, vehicle models, and long draw distances for absolute freedom. To meet the minimum system demands, your PC should have a NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB / AMD HD 4870 1GB. For optimal performance and smooth rendering, it’s recommended to play with a NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD 7870 2GB.
NVIDIA RTX 4060 supports DLSS 3 Super Resolution. Enabling DLSS Quality mode in GTA V can recover 20–35% frame rate with minimal visual difference, which is especially useful if you're targeting 60+ FPS at 1440p.
- Lower shadows and volumetrics one step before reducing texture quality.
- Use selective ray tracing (shadows/reflections) and avoid ultra RT presets.
- 1080p: High settings with shadows one step down
- 1440p: Medium/High mix with Quality upscaling
NVIDIA RTX 4060 lands in a smooth position for GTA V. Dialing in the right preset makes a noticeable difference at this performance level.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the most impactful graphics settings in GTA V for performance?
- GTA V's Extended Distance Scaling and Extended Shadow Distance sliders are the two settings with the highest performance impact in the open world. Setting both to minimum from maximum can recover 25–35 FPS on mid-range hardware with minimal visual change at street level. Grass Quality and Soft Shadows are the next most expensive. The game has an Advanced Graphics section with MSAA, Reflection MSAA, and High-Resolution Shadows — all three should be disabled on hardware near the minimum spec. Importantly, GTA V's benchmark mode (accessible from the graphics settings screen) provides accurate in-game performance data across different presets.
- Is GTA V still worth optimizing in 2025, and does it support modern upscaling?
- GTA V remains one of the most-played PC games globally despite launching in 2015, largely due to GTA Online's active player base and an enormous modding community. The base game does not support DLSS, FSR, or XeSS natively — it predates these technologies. However, community mods add DLSS/FSR support alongside visual overhauls. The Enhanced Edition features introduced in 2022 for PS5/Xbox Series X are not present in the original PC version. For pure performance, GTA V responds well to driver-level upscaling via NVIDIA Image Scaling (NIS) in the GeForce control panel even without native game support.
