OFFICAL 4K REQUIREMENTS BY ROCKSTAR

[CodeBr3ker]

PCGamer recently published the official 4K 60 Frames Per Second requirements for GTA V. Rockstar Games´ Kevin Hoare said this, and I qoute: "To run the game on a 4K display at 30fps," says Hoare, "you’ll need at minimum an AMD HD 7870 or Nvidia GTX 760 with 2GB of VRAM." As for the 4K at 60 frames-per-second, that'll require a "high-end SLI or Crossfire setup."

So if you are planning on running the game on 4K with 60 FPS, I hope for you that you have a bad ass SLI or Crossfire setup! This is due to the enormous amount of detail and density existing in the game. For an example turning up the Population Density Setting, is going to eat VRAM like a white shark would eat flesh. VRAM and processing power is the key to running the game on highest settings.

Have fun!

GTA V can read the extra memory from crossfire or sli configurations, to use for the game. Just because Windows in egenral can´t do that, dosen´t mean games can´t. Plus it comes from a Rockstar guy, so I trust him a little more than some random dude on Steam, no offense.

Who wrote this nonsense?????

SLI/XFIRE offers no more Vram than one of the cards alone. Both cards have to maintain the same frame buffer on each card which uses the Vram on both cards anyway.

2 x 4GB Vram does not equal 8GB Vram....

Yet, DX12 has the potential to change that over time but right now, in the DX11 era, nope, sorry but this article is wrong big time.

I won´t even try to set my settings to 4K. If what he says is true, I should be able to run it on 4K at 30 fps, but I don´t have a 4K monitor so ♥♥♥♥ it. I´ll stick to 1080 60 fps!

There is no way those min cards will work at 4k 30fps unless on the lowest quality settings and they would still struggle to get 30fps.

I have a card that is better than those and I have a hard time getting 30fps at 4k in most games unless I drop to low or med settings..

Most games isn't this game. It's all on how the game is developed.

I'll stick with 1080 at 60fps, TYVM. Anything more than that just seems excessive and not worth the hardware that would be required to push it, IMHO. 1080 is plenty sharp, especially with antialiasing. 4k is ridiculous.

When I read that on PC Gamer I was thinking "no way! My 760 cannot run it at 4K 30FPS!". I'm guessing you have to turn all the settings waaayyyy down but that's still amazing. Great job, R*.

So your gpu that's 5x more powerful than last gen consoles can run GTA V at last gen console settings at 5x the res.

It is highly unlikely that these 4k min reqs are for anything other than low settings which may even be below 360/ps3 version settings.

You can try to read between the lines to convince yourself this "Rockstar guy" said things he didn't but the truth is SLI doesn't double your VRAM. Each card has the same exact information loaded on its own VRAM to process it. They used 6 GB cards, not the 4 GB ones. It's not about reading or not reading the extra memory, it's the fact that SLI works by having two sets of the same information.

It's essentially doubling up your gpu processing power, nothing more, from my understanding of it. Which definitely is not adding up any ram or anything like that. Like it just splits the load between them, which means it has to have the same stuff in memory.

Lol I have a GTX 760 and I don't need to even play the game to know I couldn't run 4k @ 30fps ..even if I had a 4k monitor

[⎛⎝Duckers McQuack⎠⎞]

I got titan x, i'm gonna play this on max in 4k :P If that ain't enough for 60 fps, then i'll OC it.

How about I explain in more detail why it doesn't double your Vram.

Each card is responsible for drawing a frame at a time (not 100% accurate but close enough for the purpose of this explanation) however neither card knows which frame the other has just processed and displayed, each card only knows which frame its being asked to process. Because of this both cards must hold the exact same frame buffer in memory meaning both cards must store identical information at the same card including all the information that the other card is processing.

If there's 3GBs worth of data currently held in Vram then that data is doubled across both cards memory ergo both cards use 3GB at the same time. For memory stacking to work both cards would only need 1.5GBs worth of the 3GB total stored in memory.

As I said DX12 has the potential to take advantage of Gsyncs & Freesyncs asynchronous framing protocols which could allows the API to know which card is going to need what information to process meaning both cards only need to store their own info and not the others, when/if that happens it will be possible to stack Vram but I assure you that right now you cannot do it. You get much more GPU horsepower but no more memory.

BTW the DX12 memory stacking is only theoretical right now, they've said its possible but its a very long way off.

what about a 770 GTX with 4 gb? can that run 4k at 60 fps?

No.

Why is everyone so fussed about 4K all of a sudden? Barely anyone even has 4K monitors. I occasionally downsample old games in 4K down to 1080p because I can, but modern games are simply too demanding for most setups. The only game that currently runs for me in 4K at 60fps is Dark Souls 2 maxed out.

It's safe to assume most of them still think 4k resolution means 4k textures.
