GPU Selection FAQ

What is the best GPU for GTA 6?+

The RTX 4090 is the absolute best GPU for GTA 6, delivering 4K Ultra performance at 90-130+ FPS. For best value, the RTX 4070 offers excellent 1440p performance at a reasonable price point.

Can I run GTA 6 with an older GPU?+

GPUs from the GTX 10-series (1070, 1080) are borderline. The GTX 1660 and RTX 3050 are at the edge of playable. Anything below a GTX 1060 is not recommended.

What is the minimum GPU for GTA 6?+

We estimate the minimum GPU for GTA 6 is a GTX 1660 or RTX 3050 for 1080p Low at 25-30 FPS. For a comfortable experience (60 FPS), you'll want at least an RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT.

Is 8GB VRAM enough for GTA 6?+

8GB VRAM should work at 1080p Medium settings, but you may see texture streaming issues. 12GB or more is recommended for High/Ultra textures. GPUs with 16GB+ (RX 7800 XT, Arc A770) have a clear advantage.

Should I buy NVIDIA or AMD for GTA 6?+

Both work well. NVIDIA has better ray tracing performance and DLSS 3 frame generation. AMD offers better value and more VRAM for the price. For pure rasterization without RT, AMD's RX 7800 XT is excellent value.
