Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced on GeForce GTX 970

Meets minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce GTX 970 meets Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~34 fps at 1080p high (range 27–41, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. Its 4 GB of video memory is below the 8 GB the game recommends. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 3060 8GB (~60 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 970 back.
Processor needed for ~34 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~34 fps.

Video memory

GeForce GTX 970: 4 GB
Minimum spec: 4 GB (+0 GB headroom)
Recommended spec: 8 GB (4 GB short)
