GTA 5: PC System Requirements

GTA 5, during the time of its release back in 2013, was the game PC enthusiasts used to test out their gaming hardware. The game pushed the hardware to the limit, exacting every ounce of power the system could muster while looking gorgeous in the process.

GTA 5 is an exceptional feat of game development in terms of scope and the sheer number of activities that you can engage in. Golf, triathlons and even therapy are options available in the game.

However, hardware has progressed significantly since then and is now more accessible to a larger player base. While the system requirements once seemed quite staggering, they are comparatively more comfortable now.
