GTA V what do you suggest ?

[frozeefrank]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm looking forward to the release of GTA V in january(If they don't change the release date).

I currently have a GTX 760 and most my games run smooth at 1080p. How ever, I suspect GTA V to require much more gpu power.

 

I had the intention to buy a second 760 since they are around 250 $ CAN and it would be right on my budget.

 

Do you think that I should get a second 760 or I should wait a bit and buy a 970 ?

 

Thank you

Sell your 760 and get a 970

Can R9 290 easily drive Gta v at 1080P?

If GTA V is as optimized as GTA IV, Your going to need a pretty beefy setup to run it 1080p@60fps.

No one knows yet. It could be well optimized and run very well, or we could get a rehash of the GTAIV fiasco.

I belive that 280 is going to be good for GTA V ?!

I'm curious what you are basing that on?

Who knows at this point. Let's just hope it's not a terrible port like GTA 4 was...

nothing..

 

Scene 280 is good card and it can run every game pretty fine (decent) why not GTA V then.. only if GTA V turn to be like IV then it will sucks!

Fair enough. I just wanted to see if you knew something the rest of us dont

[Cheddle]

I would speculate, as it has already been built on the ps4/xbone architecture (similar to pc) that we can expect a decent port. vram could be an issue.

 

I would hope an r9 280 / 770 would run it quite well at 1080

[Tacitus]

I suggest you wait and see what the system specs are.

 

Apparently MP3 devs are doing the port, which is good news.

I dont think GTA V is gonna raise the bar A.K.A requirements. I expect my GTX 760 to do high settings at 1080p, dont think i can go ultra.

If i was you i would sell 760 and get 970. Its great GPU and u dont have to worry about power consumption

[frozeefrank]

for how much I can sell a 760 that is about 1 year old?

I didn't OC the card and it stayed in a pretty cool environment.

Have you seen the screenshots? It looks immense for an open world game. 

 

That said a 970 is just the best gpu you can get atm and should run it at 1080p at absolute minimum medium settings.(thats absolute worst case scenario)

Have a look on ebay and decide. But 760 recently dropped in price by 20% from what it costed when i got mine.

Yes and console run the game so pls dont make your decision based on screens.

I would sell that 760 ASAP while it's still so overpriced. I can't imagine buying a 2GB card in 2015, especially in SLI. Paying $250 CAD for a 760 is nuts when you can get a vastly superior R9 290 for $270 CAD after rebate.

This.

 

 

If you get an R9 290 or 290x I hope you get one with a decent cooler that doesn't sound like a turbine engine when it's under load.
