I wasn't in agreement on the new system requirements!

[Braixy Braixen]

I bought the game relatively recently to play comfortably with my GTX 1660s , but now Rockstar are releasing an update after which the recommended gpu will be RTX 3060 from GTX 660. When I bought the game I did not agree to these system requirements ! But now I can not even get my money back for the product as I have played enough time.
What is wrong with the developers ? Who on the eve of the release of the new part of GTA asked you to update the system requirements? Who else needs this garbage raytracing? I don't. I don't want to see raytracing, I don't see the point of this technology except as a way for Nvidia to make money by colluding with game makers. I'm not going to upgrade my gpu + power supply and cooling.

Ah yes, thanks for adding FSR and DLSS, that solves my problem for sure!!! Now instead of a clean picture I will play generated blurry frames

oh no, your medium settings becomes low and theres a new ultra setting with ray tracing. simply dont use it

You don't understand. The changes will affect graphics without RTX , and the system requirements will change anyway, even if I never use the technology. I will probably have to lower the graphics settings to have the same frame rate as before

[IcedFREELANCER]

All this drama without reading the actual info, ugh
The current game would stay as legacy version, we're getting a separate free game with improvements. And yeah, DLSS 4 sometimes looks better than native, cry about it

"PC Support

Support for the previous version of GTAV will continue, allowing anyone whose hardware does not currently meet the minimum requirements of the new upgrade to keep playing. This also ensures that support for FiveM will continue uninterrupted while we work to extend support for it on the upgraded version.

Please note that to maintain this support, the original version of GTA Online on PC will be a separate instance, and players who remain on that version will not be able to play in sessions together with those on the upgraded version. PC Players who want to play with each other will need to ensure they’re playing the same version of the game. Both versions will be available to everyone who upgrades — and first-time purchasers will get access to both versions as well."

and store page...
"Additional Notes: Over time downloadable content and programming changes will change the system requirements for this game." Yes, they can 'write' whatever they want. Doesn't mean that everything is negative - again, 10 year old game people have been screaming for visual updates for years. If anything - blame online/mmo/ live service games.

Of course, R* has whiffed on specs before so who knows. Doesn't account for adjusting them, what is 'on' for 'recommended' or minimum, and what not. Surely they aren't going force everything on. Regardless...

/waiting for the hypothetical 'fivem is now on nextgen - we're ending legacy'. Just like nuking win vista, 7, 8 support, etc. Time marches on so they say (no I don't fully agree with that either but that is another story).

/goodluck tho

Great, still means to play gta online I'll have to upgrade since most people will leave for the new version

And yes, "Additional Notes" are complete nonsense. You can write anything there so that the developer always has an excuse. It's like keeping your game in “alpha test” status for 10 years. so that you, as a developer, always have an excuse

lol im barely playing comfortably on a 2060S already so those requirements have been out of date for awhile

yep i use low anyways not into ray tracing i just want the hsw and animals

That graphics card was recommended because it best handled the ray tracing features, alongside all of the other graphical enhancement / tuning features during their testing. Raytracing, DLSS and all those other features coming to the game are RTX exclusive, which the Ray Tracing feature in particular was probably most stable on cards ranging from a 3060 and up (even more powerful)

if you aren't going to use the Ray Tracing features then i'm SURE whatever PC you're using now will be just fine. since you're not the target demographic of that recommendation (if that makes any sense)

I will say though, a 3060 is a pretty low end GPU nowadays. it's starting to become a recommended requirement for most modern titles and recommendations are likely going to get even more demanding as the technology continues to develop.

3060 is low end GPU for 2-4K

You didn't read the update your toaster will be fine

[El-Neko]

You'll be fine as long you don't crank it too high all honestly. As well you can just stick with the legacy version till you update or just crank it lower what you already have on your graphics settings. Also I assumed they picked the 3060 due to it being pretty close then a PS5's GPU even though like 5 to 12% slower then it. Since PS5's GPU around 2070 Super/RX6700.

if u cant afford new budget card 200-300 eu you probably shouldnt be playing games and get a job instead

[Zyon]

I think the question is { if you update will you need to have a graphics card with ray tracing.} , or will there be a simple way in settings to say no to ray tracing. because in other games that updated you had to have a ray tracing card or game would close. So you had the old game no ray tracing and the new game updated ray tracing you could not play at all..
