Quick Answer

GTA Vice City runs at hundreds of fps on entry hardware, so R10,000 is generous for it. A Ryzen 5 5600G APU with 16GB DDR4 and a 500GB NVMe runs Vice City (even with HD mods) above 200 fps on integrated graphics, and plays lighter modern 1080p games as a bonus.

R10,000 is more than Vice City needs

Vice City is a 2002 title that runs at hundreds of fps on integrated graphics, so this budget buys a sensible modern entry rig. A Ryzen 5 5600G (~R3,200) with built-in Radeon graphics plays Vice City flawlessly; pair 16GB DDR4 in dual channel, a 500GB NVMe and a 550W PSU on a B550 board. The APU also handles lighter modern games at 1080p Low-Medium.

Vice City FPS and modding

Vanilla Vice City is unlimited here. With remastered or HD texture mods it still holds 200+ fps at 1080p on the iGPU. A 500GB NVMe makes loading instant, and dual-channel RAM is essential since the APU shares system memory. If Vice City is genuinely your only game, this is the cheapest real PC build that runs it perfectly.

SA buyer guidance and upgrade path

Run 2x8GB for dual-channel and buy locally for in-country warranty. The 550W PSU and B550 board let you add an RX 6600 later for modern 1080p gaming, but the APU alone is more than enough for Vice City and similar classics.

FAQ

What FPS does Vice City get on a R10,000 PC?

Above 200 fps even with HD mods on a Ryzen 5 5600G's integrated graphics at 1080p. Vanilla Vice City is essentially unlimited here.

Do I need a graphics card for Vice City?

No. The 5600G's integrated graphics run Vice City effortlessly. A dedicated GPU is only worth adding later for modern games.

Why dual-channel RAM on this build?

The APU shares system RAM for graphics, so two matched sticks can lift iGPU performance by 20-30%. Always fit 2x8GB rather than 1x16GB here.

TIP

Pro Tip

Vice City runs on anything, so run dual-channel RAM and keep it on the NVMe for instant loads. Add an RX 6600 later only if you want to move up to modern 1080p gaming.
