I dont know if many of you guys are hyped for the GTA V release for the PC. But i sure am! and i personally upgraded my GTX 560ti to 970 G1 Gaming. My 560 has served me well. but its time to go. It doesnt belong with the big titles that current are or are upcoming.

 

Are you upgrading your hardware for upcoming releases? 

What are your upgrades and why?

Please stop using GPU Boss, it's just horrible.

GTA V looks like it will be well optimized (Based off requirements) so if you can run current gen games fine then GTA V should be no problem! :)

Yeah i know GTA IV ran like crap on AMD / Radeon GPUs. It would just be funny if this time it was Nvidia...

It's alright, no need to apologize this is the internet :P

Anyway you can use TONS of stuff to see GPU benchmarks, I also found this website recently which I have found to be fairly reliable: http://www.userbenchmark.com/

But GTA IV's reccomended specs were like this

 

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz, AMD Phenom X3 2.1GHz

CPU Speed: 2.4 GHz

RAM: 2 GB (Windows XP) 2.5 GB (Windows Vista)

OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3 / Windows 7

Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA 8600+ / 512MB ATI 3870+

 

Rig in Sig, i don't want to start thinking about upgrading for like 3 years, but maybe something in 2017 if performance starts to get too bad, i upgraded way earlier than i wanted going from a 560ti to 760 after from christmas 2012 to 2013, mainly because the 560ti was really loud and annoying. These are problems not present in the 760 ive got and i am perfectly fine with playing at low settings.

Intel i5-3570K/ Gigabyte GTX 1080/ Asus PA248Q/ Sony MDR-7506/MSI Z77A-G45/ NHD-14/Samsung 840 EVO 256GB+ Seagate Barracuda 3TB/ 16GB HyperX Blue 1600MHZ/  750w PSU/ Corsiar Carbide 500R

My 970 seems like it will last a while for most games at 1080p. One of these days I'll get an i5 though. My FX-6300 doesn't seem like it will cut it for much longer
