Well its our job to keep you updated on the latest GTA V PC rumors and this one we just can’t miss. A devoted Reddit user “Hal_Nein_Thousand” got his hands on another part of code of the PS3 version of GTA V (Thanks Bro!) and as we take it apart, we notice some very interesting things about the code, such as DX 11 and 2k Textures.

So here is the code our good friend Hall 9000 unearthed:

- 985459 – PC – [PT][PB] Crash – > game_win32_beta_dx11.exe!strRequest::Release() Line 47 + 0xf bytes C++
- 614622 – [LB][PT][LDS][DX11] Blooms too much on smog weather setting.
- 632447 – [PC] All the phones are very dark and hard to read
- 496009 – [PC] Debug picker seems to be non-functional
- (no x64 prebuild cover) – Boot checks completed only.
- Base AudioCL#s: Playstation 3 and XBOX: 3772801; PC CL 3773483
 
Now the absolute first thing we noticed is the DX 11 tag in the code. This is unarguable, if the DX 11 Code is present then it makes sense that GTA V PC will almost certainly release to a DX 11 Based Port. Most probably it will have support for DX 9 as well, maybe even DX 10 although that’s a long shot. DirectX 11 for GTA V PC also seems very much likely since the last two Rockstar games for the PC – Max Payne 3 and L.A. Noire also featured DirectX 11 effects.

The second thing is the Bloom reference, it seems that GTA V will employ Bloom effects heavily. Mirrors Edge anyone? (God was that game beautiful). Since the horizon in GTA V is mostly buildings (unless you are in the wilderness) then bloom would do quite well. Also note the x64 reference, which means that the game will have support for 64 Bit memory. ie more then 4 GB of RAM, ie very high texture packs inbound, whether Vanilla or Mods we cant say. So you can easily expect 2k + texture packs in the future. Remember the Ice Enhancer Mod for GTA IV? Well imagine something like that on GTA V and a 4k Output – Wow.

 
It appears that more and more things were left to be unearthed in XML documents eh?

 

Since it's in a beta or even past a beta phase already, then I can see this being announced very soon and coming to release very soon as well!

It's inevitable that a PC release will be soon. This just proves my theory more.

Why not

[Guerrero]

Have it on xbox but would really want to enjoy the better graphics on pc

[TopWargamer]

why do you have this on your pc?

Well...

1) It's on my Imgur account.

2) It's from a Vine. If you saw the Vine, it may actually help you understand what the gif is...although I find it kinda obvious.

[Asgarth]

I need this in my life.

[EChondo]

I can't see the gif but because you said Vine I'm assuming it's the black guy throwing his hat off in the sky after being told he is free to go(slave)

 

I saw it the other day, knew where it came from instantly!

i hate consoles with a passion

[Morpheus]

YEAHHH BOY

[CoffeeBlack]

I don't see it coming out for PC until after Christmas so Rockstar can milk all the money out of the console versions that they can.

[Thunderjolt]

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee release it soon Rockstar!

[gliliumho]

I don't see it coming out for PC until after Christmas so Rockstar can milk all the money out of the console versions that they can.

If all 3 version comes out at the same time, console fanboys would break down to their knees....because they'd realize how inferior the console is compared to the PC.

[Ineko]

[Ookami]

Lets wait till December for PC version - by that time console peasants will find most bugs which will be fixed for Glorious PC gaming master race.

[maximilian4o]

Sheit. Hope instantly restored Even if they make us wait for 7 months, it will be still worth just to play it on a PC with a R9-290X, eh ?

[mono]

November 22 or 29th would be my guess - because thats when the 'next-gen' consoles launch. Should be before christmas anyways

[totjup5]

I can't wait until I can play this game.
