Can the NVIDIA RTX 3050 run Grand Theft Auto V? (2026)

✅ Yes

~75 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3050 is a entry-level card with 8GB of VRAM, and Grand Theft Auto V is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 75 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 76 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	76	75
1440p	46	61
4K	26	63

At 1080p expect around 75 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 63 FPS with optimized settings. Grand Theft Auto V doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
