As we’re all aware,GTA VIis set to be a cross-platform release, launching on bothPlayStation 5and Xbox Series X/S. Based on its first trailer, it looks to be an incredibly demanding game, so we’re going to want our hardware to comfortably support it. The rumoured upcoming PS5 Pro is believed to be a part of Sony’s plan to make PlayStation the destinationwhereGTA VIfeels most at home. Boasting eight-core Zen 2 CPUs which clock in at 4GHz, an RDNA 3 GPU at 2.8 GHZ as well as 16GB of 18,000 MT/s GDDR6 memory with a bandwidth of 587 GB/s, the PS5 Pro is reportedly due to be a powerhouse of a console.

This would be a major upgrade if true compared to the base PS5 console. The PS5 can hit a maximum of 4k at 60fps, but it’s not something it’s able to achieve for all games. If this is the lower-end of what’s expected from the PS5 Pro, then you can see just how powerful this rumoured console is. Moore’s Law Is Dead then brought upGrand Theft Auto VIclaiming that we should expect to see the game run at 40fps. While this isn’t the 60fps some might have hoped for, it’s perhaps better than we imagined.
Just take a look at a game likeStarfield. While it may boast an enormous galaxy, the concession was that it had to run at 30fps to maintain stability. It’s nice to see thatGTA VIhas been able to optimise to set its sights slightly higher. It gets better though. The insiders believe that via the PS5 Pro’s AI upscaling, we could see this framerate increase further.
You’d expect the AI to be capable of upscaling the release to 60fps, although this is mere speculation until confirmed. As for whetherGTA VIcan target 120fps? It’s a glorious thought, but we’ll have to wait and see on that one.
