Grand Theft Auto V Legacy on Radeon R9 270
Yes. The Radeon R9 270 meets Grand Theft Auto V Legacy's recommended spec. We estimate ~60 fps at 1080p high (range 48–72, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the low preset (~42 fps on high). Its 2 GB of video memory covers the 2 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 102 | 71 | 43 |
| medium | 78 | 55 | 33 |
| high | 60 | 42 | 25 |
| ultra | 48 | 34 | 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: high preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: low preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon R9 270 back.
- Processor needed for ~60 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i5-3470): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~60 fps.
Video memory
- Radeon R9 270: 2 GB
- Minimum spec: 1 GB (+1 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 2 GB (+0 GB headroom)
