Evening fellas,

Could you guys please help me decide if I need to upgrade my card for GTA 5.

Currently have MSI R6970 with a Arctic extreme iii and my monitors native is 2560 x 1440

Do you think I would be able to run the game with reasonably high settings and a decent framerate?

I'm sure I will get trolled for asking about a game that's not even been released yet but I was hoping you smart cookies would be able to give me something to go on.

Thanks.
 
The specs have not yet been announced bud.

I'd hold out until we get something concrete from R* about what they think would be ok to run it and go from there.

We could all say an 970 will beast it or you defo need a 980 but until we get anything from R* it would just be conjecture.

At a total guess I'd say that you'd be looking at medium-ish settings at that res. With my new upgrade I expect to be ok at 'Ultra', but only just...
 
Thanks for the rapid responce, Yea I just wondered if anyone might have some solid info to go on.

I'm tempted to take the plunge and get a R 290x so I can have the best experience possible.

(It's not a coincidence my username is Rockstar, I love the GTA series)
 
295x2 and you expect to only just be able to get ultra?

Assuming the game is coded well I kind of assumed one 290x would be plenty for ultra.

Maybe I'm dreaming.

I think you are, do you not have any experience with Rockstar PC games ? :D

Expect to have a rig that can play it at anywhere near console levels in 2018 <You saw it here first !
 
I have recently re-played all of the GTA's on PC for the first time and I know what you mean they were very bad ports.

I am under the impression (or illusion) that this one will be different as its had a lot more time and money poured into it.
 
As a side question, Does anyone know if a Raijintek Morpheus can fit a 6970?

There's a 290x for sale that comes with the Raijintek cooler if it does fit my 6970 I can keep my Arctic iii as its forward compatible with the 290x.
 
In a recent interview Rockstar said the game is already running at 60fps 1080P but failed to mention the hardware it was running on, I can't imagine it will be too huge as you just need to compare it to games like FC4 and AC:Unity that should give you some type of idea
