EvilFuture Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 So, as always, I was searching the web for GTA V information, when I came across an article about a rumor which is apparently the GTA V PC version is to require 16GB of ram... To me, this seems like it's bullsh*t. Obviously, GTA V is going to be a big game with the big map, most weapons and cars, and all that. But in all honesty, I really don't see GTA V having to have 16 GB of ram to "fully utilize the games potential." Ahead of the upcoming GTA 5 release date, new reports have suggested that a GTA 5 PC release will require 16GB of RAM to fully utilise the game’s potential. Although publisher Rockstar has yet to confirm any plans for a GTA 5 PC release, with the upcoming GTA 5 release date set to see just PS3 and Xbox 360 iterations of the game touch down, new reports have suggested that a GTA 5 PC offering is in the works with the title to be demanding on users’ systems. I know this is just a rumor, but what do you think? Do you think it's possible for GTA V to actually need 16GB of ram, or do you think this is bullsh*t?

BUT THE BENZ Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Got source? 16 GB, whatever....I'm fine with 8. You'll likely need a strong CPU, most important of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildstyle91 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm sure the game will run fine on 8GB, maybe even 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewstinian Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 16GB of RAM? What the f*ck The consoles only have not even a GB of RAM yet it plays just fine. I doubt you'll need 16GB of RAM unless you are doing some serious Advanced AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
United_Stealth Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 When consoles are fine with 512mb, pc's will not, any at chance, need 16gb. 4gb will be fine, gta V will require the same specs as gtaIV, maybe a bit better, maybe the same, maybe a little less because now the engine is better optimized. But 16gb is just the really biggest bullsh*t ever -.- It will not even come close! /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kudoboi Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 its not gonna need 16GB of RAM at all unless its a sh*tty ass port like IV 6 to 8GB of ram should do fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilFuture Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 No need to get mean about it. I was just saying what I saw. Like I said, I just wanted your opinion, because I think it's bullsh*t, but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori_95 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 SO THE CONSOLE WILL HANDLE IT WITH LESS THAN 1GB AND PC WILL NEED 16? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawakSallas Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 If you can run IV, V will run better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUT THE BENZ Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 its not gonna need 16GB of RAM at all unless its a sh*tty ass port like IV I think ports a la IV are a thing of the past. The optimization for MP3 has worked nicely. Beautiful and performing well. Just how we like it. Yeah MP3 is linear and it's different to an open world, but I trust in R* here. They've learned a lot in the past 5 years. Maybe they didn't port RDR back then because they were worried about the outcome, knowing they could do better but they just needed more time for it than they could have made. Feels like for IV they had to experiment alot and find their way writing the code. Like "1+4+5 does this" and a few years later for MP3 it looks more structured and solid like "10 does that". Seems they "got the hang of it". And I think they can project that onto an open world PC version too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meson1 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) OK. This is bullsh*t. First of all it's an article about another article in somebody's rather dubious blog. Secondly, it's not talking about the minimum spec to run GTA:V. It's not even talking about the recommended spec. No. It's trying to say what might be needed to run GTA:V at MAXIMUM settings. Thirdly, it's PURE speculation and a somewhat suspect guesstimate as a result of an extrapolation from Max Payne 3. For one, that means Rockstar would to package GTA:V with both 32bit and 64bit versions of the binaries, which would be great. But would they really do that?

fusionhunter Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I believe this is a mix up of when Eurogamer was talking about Max Payne 3 (I think) and the system with the highest specs they were testing it on had 16GB but the highest recommended was like what 4?

S1LV3R_W0LF Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 lol I found this so many times that I forgot how many, but I first read this back in 2011, when they shown the first trailer, when no one even knew about the platforms and they thought the game was for Next Gen. I don't know how this guy wrote this as a new and recent article, but I can guarantee you that, I made a lot of research about PC GTA and I've seen everyone there was available and this article was one of them, it started in a forum discussion thread actually. So not only this was a stupid rumor started by idiots that got the "wow these graphics are incredible, no PC will be able to run this, it will need 16GB of RAM at least", but also makes no sense, I mean a game that only runs in a "ULTRA HIGH END PC" yah makes perfect sense in market terms, the sense is to make the game run in the highest range possible of PC's not otherwise, this would only happen if the game was again a bad port and this time a port from 3 generations ahead this one, so something like Xbox2280 and a PS6.

TheGodDamnMaster Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I can't think of any game off the top of my head that needs that much RAM. I'd say 12GB will be the new recommendation in the next few years.

Ryan Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 No way in hell though the game is going to require 16GB of RAM, and if it does, Rockstar is doing it wrong. RAM only plays a small role in making games run in comparison to the CPU and video card. As GTA IV showed us, the video card was the most important component to making the game run smoothly. GTA V will likely be the same, requiring a minimum of 1GB of VRAM I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loony979 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 what a load of herpa derpa crap. i run GTA IV on 4gb ram on Vista 64bit ,Now your saying V needs that much got over ya self mateeee ...Reported this thread as it's a waste of forum space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meson1 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Well first they'd have to start shipping games that include 64 bit binaries. The other way of utilising that much memory is to run multiple 32 bit processes, each in their own address space. That would incur an overhead for cross-process communications, not to mention that it's an inelegant solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungChrist Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 You know, Ive heard of some ridiculous rumours but this one just takes the cake. The minimum required RAM in order to run GTA IV was 1.5GB... Alright. If GTA IV only took 1.5GB of RAM minimum and GTA V is supposed to run on consoles aswell, how the f*ck is it plausible in any way that GTA V will require 16GB's of RAM on PC? This is the WORST rumour ever, especially considering the PC version hasnt even been announced its even less plausible. 16GB of RAM This forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalanith Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 16gb ram , 24 core cpu , 3tb gpu , 15tb hard drive ..

Raynos Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 OP, it's not even a question worth asking. 16gigs..... So like most of the game will load onto the ram? In theory, the loading will be at hyper speeds but really... 16gigs of ram.. I guess it needs a minimum of 8gig of VRAM aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
