Best Grand Theft Auto V settings for the AMD RX 6800 (2026)

On a AMD RX 6800 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Grand Theft Auto V runs at roughly 99 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 100FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6800 is a strong 1440p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Grand Theft Auto V is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs great at 1440p — about 99 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 158 FPS at 1080p and 99 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 76 FPS at 4K. Grand Theft Auto V supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 6800 can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Grand Theft Auto V, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
The Enhanced edition adds DLSS and FSR. A free FPS boost — the original Legacy version has no upscaler.
Ray-Traced ShadowsOffsaves FPS
Enhanced-edition ray-traced shadows. A nice touch but a real cost — keep Off for high FPS.
Texture QualityVery High-1% FPS
Surface detail — cheap if it fits your VRAM. Very High is fine on modern cards.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
One of GTA V’s heaviest settings — reflections on cars, water and windows. High over Ultra is a big saving.
Grass QualityHighbaseline
Countryside grass density. "Very High" famously tanks FPS for a small visual gain — High is the sweet spot.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution. High looks great and runs well.
Extended Distance ScalingMidbaseline
How much extra detail pops in at distance — partly CPU-bound. Lower it if you are CPU-limited.
Ambient OcclusionNormalbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Normal is a cheap, good-looking choice.
Post FXHighbaseline
Bloom, depth of field and light shafts. High is plenty.
TessellationNormalbaseline
Adds rounded detail to surfaces. Normal is a low-impact saving.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps roads and pavement sharp into the distance — essentially free, use 16x.
MSAA2xbaseline
Hardware edge smoothing — one of GTA V's heaviest options. 2x is plenty; 8x tanks FPS.
Reflection MSAA2xbaseline
Smooths edges inside reflections. Off or 2x for a clean FPS saving.
Particles QualityHighbaseline
Explosions, smoke and sparks. High is a cheap, good-looking choice.
Water QualityHighbaseline
Ocean and pool detail. A small saving with little visible change inland.
Soft ShadowsSoftbaseline
How softly shadow edges blur. Soft is the natural-looking middle ground.
Extended Shadows DistanceMidbaseline
How far shadows render into the distance. Lower it for an easy gain.
