Will GTA V work on a core i3?

[Benjiman46]

As the title states really!

 

I've read rumours that the game will not even function on any dual core, but with an i3 having 4 threads, people have said it could work; so now the game is out, has anyone actually managed to install and play it? If so, what's the experience like?

 

I myself have an i5 4690K and a GTX 970, so the question isn't for me, I'm building my other half a budget gaming rig and want the best performance per £/$ possible

 

Thanks!

Can't you wait couple more days until someone posts a performance video on i3 on youtube? God damn it last 3 weeks only people asking will this setup run gta 5, what performance will I get with this and so on spamming entire forum. Just wait couple of days and look on youtube asking a question about performance when game is barely out ugh

No lol, the idea of a forum is to ask questions, some people keep asking the same question but when its simple like this its not hard, quit your complaining.

which i3? 4xxx should work with no problems

+1! See the thing with the internet is when someone does a google search, this thread will pop up in the search results, helping someone else with the same question. The game is out now, I bet someone will have already tried it, and that's the question I have

I'm looking at the 4160, but "should" work isn't definite lol people have said it needs 4 full cores and an i3 won't work at all, because the minimum system specs is a Q6600 quad core and their attitude is "Why would they state an old donkey processor like that if a cheaper, more modern dual core would run it better" it's all speculation though at the minute until someone says they've successfully run it.

I would say its like AW where an i3 still worked cause it had 4 threads, but not 100%

No reports yet, can't give you a certain answer unfortunately. Theoretically, yes, absolutely. In practice, we know what happened with far cry 4... the game runs just fine, except it was artificially locked not to work on it.

When you consider how delayed the game has been it should now be perfectly optimised for the pc. Thank you console players for Beta testing.

You should be all good with a newer model i3, it will outperform the Core 2 Quads which was listed in the minimum system requirements. GTA 4 was quite CPU intensive, but it was well optimized so it ran well even on lower end CPU', so I hope GTA 5 is like that.

dunno about gta, but i play FarCry4, Unity, and all the AAA new games at ultra with my i3 4160 at 1080p with no problems

I think GTA5 will be no different

Gta 4 was well optimised? Which gta 4 were you playing? lmao hopefully the i3 will be able to run GTA 5 because it's right in our price range, the only other option really is the pentium G3258 but that's a proper old skool dual core... So if anyone has successfully run GTA on that, I'll be all over it like a tramp to chips B)

Did Far Cry 4 require a crack to get it running on that processor? I used one of those for the PC we built for a friend.

Not necessarily, but with a crack it was much easier.

Ooops worded that wrong. By itself GTA 4 was a pretty poorly optimized game, but some mods and ENB's could improve a lot of the performance, to where it could almost run on anything.

[Thony]

Yes there are benchmarks from i3 processors already

I had Proper version from Reloaded

[itachipirate]

i3 will run it beautifully on nearly ultra-if the GPU can handle it. I'm running on a FX-6300 nearly perfect FPS and the i3 should be about the same if not a little better. Especially in multiplayer, it takes a lot of strain off the CPU. Draw distance to 75% also helps

[jck1997]

Will and i5 core work just as good?

8 gb ram
amd radeon hd 8730m 2gb  ( intel 4000  4 gb ) Dedicated graphics ...plzz help

[rohit12212]

guys i using i3 530@2.93GHZ  cpu.

planning to install AMD 260X 2 GB GPU AND 4GB RAM.

 

BT WOULD I BE ABLE TO RUN THE GAME WID THIS CPU?

PLZ SUGGEST.THANKS

[Crowes]

I'd be very interested to know what "Minimum Requirement" specifications actually make the game look like. I've seen someone else's screenshot of it on their machine, and it looks like a damn PlayStation 1 game.

Answer is yes.It works. Seems to work just fine..

[Humbug]
