Grand Theft Auto V Legacy on GeForce RTX 3080 12GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3080 12GB is well above Grand Theft Auto V Legacy's recommended spec. We estimate 300+ fps at 1080p high (range 300+, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~291 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 12 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 | 300+ | 300+ | 297 |
| medium | 300+ | 300+ | 227 |
| high | 300+ | 291 | 174 |
| ultra | 300+ | 233 | 140 |
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: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
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 3080 12GB back.
- Processor needed for 300+ fps: Core i9-14900K or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i5-3470): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 300+.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 3080 12GB: 12 GB
- Minimum spec: 1 GB (+11 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 2 GB (+10 GB headroom)
