Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced on GeForce RTX 3050 8GB

Meets minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce RTX 3050 8GB meets Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~50 fps at 1080p high (range 40–61, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the medium preset. Its 8 GB of video memory covers 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.

Estimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

60 fps at 1080p: medium preset
60 fps at 1440p: low preset
144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 3050 8GB back.
Processor needed for ~50 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, ~50 fps.

Video memory

GeForce RTX 3050 8GB: 8 GB
