Is gta 5 suitable? What's new in GTA V on next-gen and PC. Minimum set of software

Release date for GTA 5 on PC

The release took place on April 14, 2015! Versions for Playstation 4 and Xbox One were released on November 18, 2014.

And what happened before before this...

Welcome to Los Santos and the surrounding Blaine County area, the world GTA 5, available for exploration from the very beginning of the game, including the bottomless ocean, dense forests, barren deserts and, of course, the concrete jungle of a huge, bustling city spread over 127 square kilometers.

The main characters of GTA 5 are three men -, and. For the first time in the series, we play as three people at once, between whom you can freely switch at any time in their lives and go through all the stunning robbery missions together. Each of them has a separate destiny and life, completely different from the other two, but they are united by one important point- they are all closely connected with the world of crime.

Compared to the previous game, Grand Theft Auto 5 redesigned and many things have been improved, including graphics, all mechanics (shooting, animation, melee, physics), weather conditions, mission model, etc. And some things were completely built from scratch, for example, a functioning ecosystem: from now on, the game world is populated not only by people, but also by various animals (dogs, sharks, bears, deer), which you can either hunt or simply admire by climbing a remote high cliff. In general, in Los Santos and Blaine County there is an order of magnitude more of everything (,), the game has become more attentive to detail and atmosphere.

In addition to the single-player game and story, GTA 5 is equipped with powerful support in the form of multiplayer, or, as the developers called it, . In fact, this is a separate online game, with its own characters, tasks, a semblance of a plot, a lot of entertainment and several hundred different missions that can be played both in close co-op and in a fun group of up to 16 people.

Special and Collector's Editions

On May 23, 2013, Rockstar Games announced both a collectible and a special one. The special edition is more "poor" ($80) compared to the collector's edition ($150), and contains fewer items. To anyone who pre-ordered the Grand edition Theft Auto 5 to September 17, Rockstar is giving access to the Atomic Blimp airship.

Hello dear readers. Gamebizclub team is in touch. In today's article we will discuss the system requirements of GTA 5, and also figure out how to run this whale of a game on weak personal computers and laptops.

Most of the games released by modern game developers, given the proper characteristics of our PC, delight with pictures of indescribable, downright magical quality. Often, screenshots from games can hardly be distinguished from photographs taken in real life, and GTA 5 is not at all an exception to the rule, however, not everyone can confidently say that their computer will “handle” a fifth of this gangster action.

Minimum Required

So, let's start analyzing the hardware that you will need to play GTA 5 - we are writing to play, and not to fully enjoy the game for the simple reason that in this part of the text we will talk about the minimum configurations declared by the developers for PCs and laptops .

In the case of PC you will need:

  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz (4 cores) or AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor (4 cores) @ 2.5 GHz.
  • Minimum quantity RAM(RAM): 4 Gb.
  • Video card: NVIDIA 9800 GT 1 GB and AMD HD 4870 1 GB, and for the laptop a mobile analogue is used - NVIDIA GTX 965M.

There are two more parameters declared by Rockstar Games as the minimum required, but let's say right away that the parameters of this equipment are identical for playing at the highest settings. This is an audio adapter - you will need one that is 100% compatible with DirectX 10, and you will also need at least 65 GB of free hard drive space - the toy has a colossal weight, of course.

Now let’s talk about what kind of internals are needed for a comfortable game at the “Very” level settings. Vys." (localizers really like to shorten everything) and higher - in general, let's discuss the components to get maximum pleasure from the game.

  • Processor: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2 GHZ (4 CPUs) and AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4 GHZ (8 CPUs) and higher.
  • RAM: 8 Gb.
  • Video card: NVIDIA GTX 660 2 Gb or AMD HD 7870 2 Gb.

If your computer meets all the stated parameters of the game, then you can safely buy GTA 5, because the toy is really very cool.

Patch for weak PCs

Now let's talk about a patch for weak PCs that allows you to run GTA 5 on a system that is little more powerful than a calculator. Yes, our dear gamer, if your computer does not meet the minimum level of system requirements, then there is still a chance to run and even play GTA 5.

I remember, having completed this game on the Xbox 360, our team decided to try to run Grand Theft Auto 5 on an old laptop, for a test, with this configuration:

After some simple manipulations with Google, the patch was downloaded and installed, and the settings file attached to the archive was placed in the game documents.

You can’t expect any “Wow”, “This is something”, “I’ve lost five pounds... The game flies, and the graphics are super.” The patch significantly reduces the graphics level and slightly improves performance. Get ready to see the fabulous metamorphosis of the colorful GTA 5 into no less colorful, however, more square GTA San Andreas or Vice City.

To avoid tomato attacks in our direction, we will show you something. Yes, screenshot. Yes, one. We don’t know why the black sky (by the way, it was not corrected in any way until the patch was completely removed). What do you think of these matte cars?

Pay attention to the FPS in the upper left corner - 12 frames per second. We hope you understand that we did not rejoice at this miracle for long, because our eyes were very tired.

Subsequently, it was decided to optimize GTA 5 in the best possible way, with a detailed study of all graphical aspects, and this is what happened:

Yes, 14-16 frames is not ideal at all, however, we achieved this without patches and mods.

That's basically all we wanted to tell you today. I would like to believe that all your questions have been answered here. Follow our blog news and also visit YouTube channel and as sellers in Los Santos shops say: “Have a nice day.”

Judging by the first trailer, the system requirements of GTA 5 promise to be very serious. And finally, the developers announced OFFICIAL system requirements that are published on their website. Everything that differs from them is rumors and fakes!

GTA 5 official system requirements :

GTA Online on PC will support the game on 30 players. Online will be available immediately with the release of GTA 5, GTA Online Heists will also be available.

There will be more on PC high level detailing working on 1080p and 60 fps with 4K resolution. Will support systems with up to three monitors, as well as NVIDIA 3D Vision.
GTA V for PC includes a new editor that gives players a complete set of tools to edit and publish gameplay videos directly to Social Club and YouTube.

Minimum requirements:

  • OS: Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista 64 bit (NVIDIA video cards are recommended for Vista)
  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 cores) / AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor (4 cores) @ 2.5GHz
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • Video card: NVIDIA 9800 GT 1 GB / AMD HD 4870 1 GB (version no lower than DX 10, 10.1, 11)
  • Sound card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
  • Disk space: 65 GB
  • DVD drive
  • OS: Windows 8.1, 8, 7 64 bit
  • CPU: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHZ (4 cores) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHZ (8 cores)
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • Video card: NVIDIA GTX 660 2 GB / AMD HD7870 2 GB
  • Sound card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
  • Disk space: 65 GB
  • DVD drive

Pay attention to the requirements for 4 cores! It is possible that owners of processors with fewer cores will not be able to run the game (or rather, they will be able to, but with the help of a separate program). That's how it was with the game Far Cry 4, which we will talk about below, owners of 2-core processors had to download Dual Core Fix to launch the game, without it the game simply froze with a black screen.

Testing GTA 5 on different computers

Will the game work for you?

Will it work for me??? To be honest, I don’t want to personally explain to everyone whether GTA 5 will work for them. There is an easier way: install Far Cry 4. If it runs at maximum settings, there is nothing to worry about; if at minimum settings there are lags, then in GTA 5 the lags will be even stronger.

  • OS: also 64-bit Windows versions 8.1, 8, 7
  • CPU. For Intel processors you need more power, for AMD the requirements are the same. Intel® Core i5-2400S 2.5 GHz (i5 3470 @ 3.2GHZ) or AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz
  • RAM: also 8 GB.
  • DirectX: For FarCry 4 only version 11, for GTA 5 - DX 10, 10.1, 11
  • Video card. The graphics requirements for GTA 5 are lower. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2 GB (NVIDIA GTX 660) or AMD Radeon R9 290X (AMD HD7870)

PS4 Specifications

Lately, the Internet is full of various options system requirements. There are even cases where the requirements for GTA 5 were taken almost according to the maximum possible computer configurations. Judge for yourself what income the publishers will have if the GTA5 game is not bought by everyone due to weak hardware. There were others who published the requirements for GTA5, where only 25 GB were allocated for the game, although the PS4 takes about 50 GB, but in fact it turned out that it was necessary 65 GB. And nothing, fakes were actively spread.

If you judge the quality of graphics based on the version for xbox 360 And PS 3, then the GTA 5 game could easily run on computers that were 5 years old. But with the release GTA trailer 5 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, it became clear that the requirements will be much higher (the maximum requirements will not be lower than the hardware on PS4 Xbox One, their characteristics are listed below).

  • CPU: 8-core x86-64 AMD Jaguar processor - 1.6-2.75 GHz
  • RAM: GDDR5 8 GB (5500 MHz)
  • GPU: Integrated, approximate equivalent of Radeon HD7850/7870

Characteristics of the PS4 version of GTA 5.

  • Resolution 1920x1080, 30 FPS, double buffering.
  • 2xMSAA (2x anti-aliasing).
  • Increased size and bump maps textures.
  • HDAO.
  • Tesselation.
  • Reduced the delay when switching a character from single player to GTA Online.
  • The number of pedestrians and vehicles on the roads has increased.
  • Best quality game videos.
  • The best quality music on the radio.

Compared to the xbox 360 and PS3 versions, you can notice the following improvements, which increase hardware requirements:

  • Improved waves, water ripples, water in the rain and when cars pass.
  • More grass and bushes will appear.
  • Improvements to various structures. Smoking chimneys and workers will be added to businesses.
  • More traffic on the roads.
  • The interior of the cars has been significantly improved.
  • Increased draw distance and shadow range.
  • Improved textures.

Max Payne 3 System Requirements

With the release of Max Payne 3, more information was added for comparison. Graphically, the PC version on powerful computers looks more beautiful than on consoles. The resolution in Max is scalable, you can even display it on 6 monitors. In addition, Max Payne 3 supports DirectX 11 and, therefore, has Tessellation, Hull, Gather4, Domain Shaders, Stream Output, FXAA, Geometry Shaders. But the developers promise that even owners of old cars will be able to play Max Payne 3.

Building a PC for GTA 5

Before purchasing, almost everyone thought about whether their computer could handle it or whether it was worth postponing the purchase for future hardware. We will try to tell in this article all the subtleties and points about this.

I’ll answer the question right away will gta 5 work? or not - will do. The game has been so optimized that even laptops from 2007 can run it. But the question arises: will the graphics be playable? It’s quite possible to play at low settings and with poor rendering; there’s no talk of a comfortable game here.

Let's move on to tips for testing your PC for performance for GTA 5:

1) First, you can try installing a pirated version of the game and see how it behaves on your computer. Please note that in any case, a licensed copy will perform several times faster and better than unlicensed content.

2) Try and set all graphics to maximum. If the game works correctly, then GTA 5 will run on medium or minimum settings - you don’t have to worry.

3) VERY IMPORTANT ADVICE!. If I still convinced you to buy gta 5, then do it in Steam. Because on Steam, if the game does not work correctly, you can ask for a refund, but if you purchased the game on the sites, then there will definitely not be a refund there!

4) Owners of an Nvidia video card can close this article right now and go buy the game, and owners of an AMD video card - I advise you to think several times about buying the game.

5) The list will be supplemented, and if you learned something new from this article, then subscribe to us in social networks and leave a positive comment..

Games these days are increasingly demanding on hardware, but before you run to the store, you want to know if this or that work of game developers will work without upgrading the hardware? So, first of all, you need to check the system requirements; this method is time-tested and does not give any failures, unlike various tests.

Minimum system requirements for GTA 5

CPU

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs) @ 2.5GHz

RAM

Video card

NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB / AMD HD 4870 1GB

Sound card

100% DirectX 10 compatible

Hard drive

minimum 65GB of free space

Minimum software set:

  • Operating system: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1, Windows Vista 64 Bit Service Pack 2 (works stably on Vista GTA 5 if an Nvidia video adapter is installed)
  • DirectX version: DX 10,DX 10.1,DX 11.
  • For a comfortable game, you can install drivers that video card manufacturers released specifically for the release of the PC version of GTA 5: GEFORCE GAME READY DRIVER FOR GRAND THEFT AUTO V.
  • We also highly recommend installing Microsoft Visual C++.

CPU

Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHZ (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHZ (8 CPUs)

RAM

Video card

NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD7870 2GB

Sound card

100% DirectX 10 compatible

Hard drive

minimum 65GB of free space

If you still have neither the time nor the desire, and perhaps even information about the hardware, which is far from uncommon nowadays, then it is possible to test your computer for compatibility with the game online.

Nvidia graphics adapter test

First of all, I would like to consider the online test that is provided by Nvidia on its official website at http://www.geforce.com/games-applications/pc-games/grand-theft-auto-v/gpu-analyzer . Although the test is provided by Nvidia, you can check compatibility even if you have AMD. So, the main thing to remember is to check the compatibility in the browser Google Chrome won't work because they stopped supporting NPAPI for Java applets. Speaking in simple language, the verification process requires a Java module, which does not work in Chrome. You can use another browser - for example, Internet Explorer or Opera.

If the Java package is not installed, then after clicking Check Now, you will be prompted to download the latest version of this module from the official website of the developer.

After downloading and installing Java, you will be able to check the compatibility of the GPU with the game. Therefore, again follow the link provided above and click CHECK NOW. If the video card is weak, you will see a message similar to what is shown in the picture.

If everything is in order, the frame will be green and the view will be as follows:

However, testing only the graphics card does not provide comprehensive answers, so if the graphics card is suitable, then you can move on to the next test.

Can You Run It?

A very common test that operates on the website http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri?itemId=12455. After the transition, you need to click on the “Can you run it?” button.

In the pop-up window that appears, there are two options to choose from:

  • View Requirements – if you choose this method, you will be shown the system requirements and there will be no test. The same requirements are presented in the table above.
  • Desktop App - as is clear from the description and name, the user is invited to download a small application weighing 5 megabytes, which will help to find out the characteristics of your hardware. Select this item and click Start.

The program automatically starts scanning the system, all you have to do is wait without taking any action. Once the scan is complete, you will be redirected to a site with the results. Depending on the hardware, the results will be different, however, the report is comprehensive. These were the results on my laptop:

From these red signs it is immediately clear that it does not meet the system requirements of the game, however, the main points are described below, exactly how much and what needs to be added for the game to start:

And if your PC or part of its components is compatible with the game, then instead of a crossed out circle, you will see a checkmark:

You can also choose whether to compare PCs with minimum system requirements or with recommended ones. This is done by switching tabs on the results page:

Test on Steam

In addition to other tests, it is possible to check the PC for compatibility with the game via Steam, although reviews of such testing are not the most flattering, for the following reason - the necessary accuracy is not achieved: sometimes it can be shown that the PC is suitable with a 256 megabyte video card. However, if other methods are not suitable for some reason, do the following:

  1. Launch Steam.
  2. Press the key combination WIN (the button that opens the start menu) and R on the keyboard.
  3. In the window that appears, paste the following: steam://checksysreqs/271590.
