Let’s all admit one thing: GTA IV was an unoptimized mess, a performance hog title, and a game that was easily described as one of the most unoptimized games of 2008. Sure thing, Rockstar’s open world game runs better today – thanks mainly to new CPU processors – but its multi-core CPU support is still quite… laughable. Which really made everyone wonder whether the upcoming PC version of GTA V would suffer from such ‘porting’ issues. Well, apparently GTA V PC is shaping up just fine as it already runs at 60FPS on the PC.
As our dear friends over at Alt-Tab reported, the PC version already runs at 60FPS on the PC according to a Rockstar developer that worked on GTA V’s online mode for all the current-gen platforms.
Unfortunately, the developer did not reveal the specs of Rockstar’s testing machines. Still, let’s not forget that GTA IV had major performance issues even at the top-of-the-line PCs at its time of release.
Moreover, the developer claimed that the team responsible for the PC version of GTA V is no other than the one responsible for Max Payne 3 PC. The PC version of Max Payne 3 was phenomenal, and is described by everyone as one of the best PC versions of any game in recent years. Therefore, it’s good to know that the very same team is bringing us GTA V.
Question now is whether the PC version of GTA V will feature any specific PC features (like higher resolution textures or any NVIDIA/AMD specific graphics options).
GTA V releases early next year on the PC.
Naturally, we are marking this news as a rumor since there hasn’t been any official confirmation from Rockstar.

The Master Race version, finally. After one and a half years. The console betatesting seems to have proven usefull, if this rumour is true.
PC is not the race but platform^^
We should call them Console Untermenschen.
lol
And that makes you the PC NAZI ?
That’s the way it should be…
Max Payne 3 was such a good pc version. Hopefully this rumor is true
This doesn’t tell us anything. It could be 60fps at 640×480 low settings on SLI 980s.
HahA
It doesn’t look that good but weak consoles can do it, mid-range PC can.
PS4 and XBOne struggles with running GTA V at 30FPS.
Struggle? Not at all
Oh yes it does struggle on my joke of a PS 4.
Pff please. We all know that they’re talking about an Intel Pentium II with a Voodoo 2 running at 4K and everything maxed out.
Max Payne 3: Declared 1080/60fps settings.
Windows 7/Vista (32 or 64 bit)
Intel i7 Quad Core 2.8Ghz or AMD equivalent
3GB System RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce 480 1GB RAM
or AMD Radeon™ HD 5870 1GB RAM
So… we can say:
Windows 7/8.1 (64 bit only)
Intel i7 or AMD equivalent
6GB System RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce 680
or AMD Radeon™ HD 7970
I still have faith. And I assume they meant in 1080p since that is what the consoles are running the games at…I have an Intel i5 4670K and an Nvidia GTX 770 so hopefully i can tank the game on high 60fps…fingers crossed gentleman
If Grand Theft Auto V somehow manages to run just as good as Max Payne 3, then it will definelly worth the wait.
Not only that, but its going to look amazing as well.
As unoptimized as GTA 4 was, the fact is that they had so much going on in the PC version. The realtime reflections, soft shadows, physics… they were all there for everything, all the time.
You can bet GTA V on PC is going to look incredible 🙂
It already looks great on console
GTA V will NEVER, EVER be able to run as good as MP3. MP3 was a corridor shooter (very close environments, with places where you could hide most popping (LOD) and because of that it ran very well.
MP3 is much more detailed than GTAV.
Besides, no one expecting that it will run with the same framerate on the same hardware. I think he meant general optimization.
i prefer AVI than MP3
Don’t say never, it’s about what PC you got and any game can run on top settings with a good setup, MP3 even supports MSAA which is very demanding in any type of game. GTA games have bad foliage LOD anyway, so does Assassins Creed Unity.
I’m holding myself from even looking at screenshots until i can run this piece of code on my PC. Let’s hope it’s worth the wait.
Meh, I’ll believe it when I see benchmarks.
i believed in this , its gonna be a great port worth the wait… now hopefully game is as well
wow amazing news and yes indeed Max Payne 3 its meant to be played on PC!
Can’t wait for my favorite game in all history of gaming GTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: I do love Mafia 2 and i wait a sequel of Mafia 3
Honestly, this sound like a peasant comment “it’s already runs at 60fps”. What is that suppose to mean? We have a lot of different configurations here. 60fps on low settings on Core i7 / 32GB RAM / Titan Black x4 or 60 fps on max settings on a middle end configuration?
here comes the expert, questioning everything and thinking hes the hot s**t haha.
huh? the question is extremely valid. as it is its like saying you can do 30 reps of weight lifting but without telling us the weight youre using (which kinda makes the whole thing useless)
Well explained but he’s just another troll.
maybe they mean it hits 60 fps easilly.
That is a great question. And it’s Questions like that…. That still make it so the majority of gamer’s only stick to consoles only
And that sounds like a virgin comment
I really hope it will take advantage of my CPU and GPU at his best multi-core CPU usage and GPU 99% usage!
You could launch a 3D application that displays one solid colour and have your GPU usage at 100%. Usage percentage isn’t as important at efficiency. It’s easy to make inefficient use of your GPU’s resources.
I could make a 3D program that does 50 000 draw calls to display a simple green color in a 640 x 480 window and that would max out a NVIDIA GTX TITAN Z usage to 99%
MP3 ran so well on my PC I was amazed. Not a single problem with performance or framerate from beginning to end. Not once did I even think about when it was going to be patched. It’s the only game I can remember that was like this in the last 20 years. I don’t mean to overstate this, but it’s true.
The game itself wasn’t that great – I’m just speaking performance-wise.
you must play very few games then. sure the port was good but its not like every game is a broken mess that youre constantly thinking of when its going to be patched
i hardly play AAA games but still
“you must play very few games then”
“(…)I hardly play AAA games”
You lost me…
huh? im saying most games i play are not mainstream AAA ones (ie not far cry 4, dragon age inquisition, advanced warfare, assassins creed unity, etc) so maybe my experience has been different. thats why i mentioned it
“(…)so maybe my experience has been different.”
That’s my point.
You wrote: “you must play very few games then.its not like every game is a broken mess that you’re constantly thinking of when its going to be patched” and then “(…)I hardly play AAA games” (wich are the ones who we should “keep and eye” on).
🙂
nvm this comment
why are AAA games the ones we should keep an eye on when theyre so terrible (story and gameplay wise) and casual? (i cant even remember a single AAA game i had trouble getting 100% with other than street fighter trainings)
you make it sound that because i play very few AAA games, somehow that makes my whole experience invalid even though AAA games are like 5% of game releases if that (and of good game releases id say an even lower %). if youve been 20 years buying games that run like crap maybe you should finally come to a certain realization in your life
Look, all that I’m saying is:
-Jay wrote about the game being a good port, among the flood of sh!te ports that comes to PC;
-You wrote how not every port is shite, implying that Jay don’t play all games, ergo, implying that he doesn’t know better, but at the end of the sentence you’ve said that you play very few AAA games (the ones that usually need patching or are broken);
-Last you wrote about having a different experience (because you hardly play the mainstream games), and I agree with that, but IMO made your first comment somewhat silly. I hardly play the mainstream ones too (at least not at launch, usually I play those after 6 months/a year because $$$), but still I like to make myself fully aware of how things are released or how they managed to fix it (if they fixed it).
Almost done with the beta testing
Thank god Rockstar Leeds weren’t let loose on it!!
considering they didnt even make la noire, the port came out fine.
great news, MP3 port was so gdlk…
GTA V Already Runs At 60FPS On The PC
Dumbest, click-baitiest statement ever….!
You must be new to the internet.
Nope, I’m just not complacent either…..
Okay that title is confusing.
we knew MP3 devs working on GTAV on pc more than a year. almost 2 years delay on PC, one month to release, not any official words about it’s PC version and no trailer or anything. please don’t stutter and run like a finished product
Man i had it with game releases latelly they all unfinished and need alot of patches to work. Could gta v finally come out on proper state?
I wish there is something wrong with the game. Only way to wish destruction upon the imbecile pre-orderers.
why should they bother when people will pre order anyways?

Max Payne 3 was well optimized on PC, No doubt they will do a better job than Rockstar Toronto.
They are rockstar torronto now. The vancouver studio merged with torronto.
For all the time this game takes to come out, it better come out freaking golden.
Ok well MP3 was a great game and a relatively good port. This sort of gives me hope but im still going to wait till all the reviews come out before even considering purchasing this.
I think the reason we still don’t have system reqs is that they’re still at it, trying to make the PC version run on a system as modest as possible.
This isn’t going to be no GTA IV or AC Unity.
requirements will be fake anyway
I’m glad it’s the same people that worked on Max Payne 3 for PC. They did a great job with it.
I think I may buy GTA V int the future.
It’s good to hear this, Hopefully GTA V runs on similar specs to Max Payne 3
if s**t consoles can run it pc can run it 100000 times better
Nah. Not most PCs in Steam.
Most PCs on Steam have mucch better hardware than the current gen consoles.
That is very true actually, gta iv ran terrible on consoles too, that’s why it was worse on pc.
GTA V is going to be a good port for sure.
Mantle support should make it playable for amd users even if theres optimization issues
DX12 or Mantle wont help an unoptimized game.
You forgot the wall and ground.
What does already at 60 FPS mean? We’re talking about PC gaming, not a console port. This kind of of note, language, doesn’t apply here. Announcing that it will be 60 makes sense, but “already”?
What hardware runs it at 60fps/quality settings and what res?
Nobody has to admit anything, everybody knows about the GTA IV spectacle.
Only a little more than a month left. Finally i get my fix 🙂 Srill not pre ordering although i have good faith in the MP3 team.
Still not interested after how they treated their PC fanbase. And I don’t trust Rockstar. I’ll believe it when I see it. These guys even delayed Max Payne 3 and made it console centric. A game that was originated on PC and bought from Remedy. Even Ubisoft treated us better with Far Cry 3.
Define ‘console centric’.
pc gaming is dead
sure sure..
Clearly not if you have to come here saying it.
So is your mother. Ever passed fifth grade? Learn to check facts. Kids now-a-days.
Really???!……PC gaming must have Black Lantern rings
I just assumed they meant it can play at 60fps when using a PC with next gen console-like specs. That’s the only way this article could be relevant otherwise
That sounds good, but we have yet to hear on what specs they can do that.. alot of games can run on 60 fps now days, but it doesn’t mean I CAN run them on 60 and ultra settings. (i can when it comes to some of them but you get what i mean! Give us specs!)
“GTA V Already Runs At 60FPS On The PC”
Poor journalism
Comparing a corridor shooter to an open-world game is just wrong.
I can assure you that GTA V won’t run nearly as good as MP3.
i get your point but as i said, are you expecting me to play every single game released in order to be able to talk about my experience? i have almost 700 games on steam, and not because i bought em in deals and never intend to play em like most people do. (finished 300 already, most of them to 100%). my dad does play mainstream games. recently i got advanced warfare and far cry 4 for him and they ran perfectly. yes some games are a broken mess (i keep up to date with news) like AC, evil within and some others. but stating youve only seen 1 game that works fine in 20 years and saying ” I don’t mean to overstate this, but it’s true.” feels a bit of an over reaction.
No, you don’t need to play everything (as I’ve said, I don’t play either) all that I’m saying is what Jay wrote wasn’t a overstatement. Since the PS2/GC/XBOX PC=shoddy mainstream ports. He just pointed it out. And if someone don’t play these game, off course things are fine for them, but still a minority of people IMO (just like people who don’t have problems out of the box).
AAA games arent the only ones being ported though, even if theyre the ones that make it to the news. tons of indies i do play are straight up ports (sometimes even from ios / android) but other than the controls being a bit odd they normally run perfectly fine. just bought blazblue as well some minutes ago. its not AAA but its not some rare indie game either and it runs great.
from AAA ports most of my knowledge comes from the media but (just to name up recent releases) ive heard advanced warfare and dragon inquisition are really good ports. with far cry 4 being so so and AC:U being really bad but thats across all consoles anyways lol
thats 2 out of 4 already :p
Which size does it run at 60 FPS?
The same team of Max Payne 3? From Rockstar Vancouver? Really???
F’ YEAH.. gg guys, you have win all
FX 8350 black edition, 32 Gb dd3 CL5, x2 R9 290x 8g 🙂 sure 4k minimun 60 fps.
Guys i want to ask you what FPS would i get with my PC
Core i5-2500 3.3GHz
AMD Radeon HD 6570
RAM 6 GB DDR3
i want to play it on low graphic like 800×600 with no shadows everything on low and off?
