GTA 6 on RTX 4080 and i7 13700k

[Helicopter200]

WIll these PC parts be outdated when GTA 6 will be released on PC?

[Mexicola9302]

I will buy a RTX 5080 and then a R9 9950x3d after that is released. I am still okay with my R9 5950x and RTX 3080 atm.

it's just a matter of time until new AMD CPU's are on the market. I can wait and completely skip one CPU and one GPU gen.

I mean GTA VI will be one of these games that will be played online for a few years, so it's okay to play it in not all maxed out settings in the beginning. So a 5080 even if that is already outdated in the year 2026/27 already will still be decent enough, i will skip one GPU gen then again and wait for the RTX 7080 or whatever it will be called and skip RTX 60xx series.

16 Go VRAM is enough for most games. The issue is for people with 8 or less. Games run poorly even with 20... (it's more bad CPU & GPU opti)

Number of npc/assets and complexity is CPU bond.
Resolution and textures is GPU.

With regards to NPCs, yes. They're CPU bound. Which makes me wonder just how many NPCs they could actually realistically have in one scene without dumbing down the AI itself in order to avoid clogging CPU time. 16 GB IS enough. But Nvidia hasn't been releasing their 16 GB VRAM cards without having OTHER things compromised (smaller memory bus and die). Only the 80 series cards get any decent performance at 1440P or 4K. Fact is, there's no reason that unified shared memory on consoles should be treated the same way on PC.

System RAM and VRAM exist separately for a reason. The games should be unloading assets they don't need. VRAM is MEANT to be used, as is RAM. Unused RAM has never improved performance. I expect GTA VI to be better about it, cause GTA V right now barely uses more than 6 GB of VRAM for me (I only game at 1080P so maybe that's why), but it IS an open-world game, so I expect assets to be unloaded as I move around.

If it can run on a PS5 and XSX then the PC will run it with ease. Console players are likely looking at a 30fps lock

First of all, we don't even know if it will come on PC. It will most likely come, but just as before, it will be one or more years later, maybe 2027. Everyone's current hardware will be outdated by then anyway. But if you have top tier hardware now, you could probably still play it. I mean, my PC has 6+ years old components but still plays newer games, just not all too well.

no, ps5 will allow for a lot of leeway, a 4080 is far more powerful than a ps5 same with your 13700k.

Ah the 50 series just sound so much better in the future then that trash.

this is assuming that hardware development maintains the same current pace (it won't). the RTX 5000, for example, will not be able to have the same leap in quality that the 4000 had over the 3000. this is because the leap in quality was thanks to major changes in the production process, and it is not something that will happen systematically in this way. the further you move towards the top of the range the more difficult it becomes to improve gpus performance. Hardware growth is not linear, and software growth won't be either. gpus prices are already becoming unattainable for most people. it is probable, in fact, that from now on Nvidia's 90 will be directed not at gaming but only at productivity, because nothing will be so heavy in the near future as to require a 5090 or a 6090. and above all, you don't spend 2 billion on a game that can only be played by a few.

It will run fine on intel hd graphics

DO NOT GET AN i7 13700k for gaming. Gamers Nexus just posted a video detailing the problem.

"Intel's CPUs, including the 14900K and 13900K (and others of those generations) have had ramping instability reports from consumers for months now, but Wendell of Level1 Techs has sources stating that Intel's CPUs are also failing in enterprise and server deployments. This concerning development suggests that some of the prior PL1 and PL2 configuration issues may be a different issue or red herring, as the server boards don't push power to the same extent as the consumer Z790 motherboards. We talk with Wendell about what this means and what's next for Intel."
TLDR; Don't buy Intel.

what leap? only the 4080 and 4090 are noticeably faster than the previous gen
the lower end are not that much better or in some cases worse
4060Ti vs 3060Ti in GTAV:

7 months too late

You scared with a 4080 ??

In 2026 4080 will be barely above minimum requirements. Start saving money for new gaming pc to get in 2026.

heh as i said in another thread I just dont get why ppl are still using intel CPUs for gaming
they draw way more power and are just not as good for gaming as AMDs X3D cpus

Intel CPUs were the best back in 2015 but things has changed....

i dont like amd drivers

Are you speaking about Adrenaline vs Nvidia ???? He's just speaking about the Ryzen CPU, you don't even get to see anything with the CPU drivers. If that's the case I don't like amd GPU drivers either, I rather Nvidia drivers. The x3d processors are god tier for gaming.

The 50 series isn't much better then the 40 series, I believe a 4080 could do 4k at 60fps on GTA 6 is dlss is involved, there's no way it's gonna be able to do it Natively though.
