Snowman Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 You can build a PC for only slightly more than a PS4 or Xbone (not including peripherals which you can most likely use any modern TV for or buy used if you're a cheap fuk) that can run V at better settings than either of those consoles. If it cost 5K for V to be playable on PC no one would buy it utack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 No, it does not require $5000 to build a PC to play GTAV. In fact, even if you were aiming for maxed out settings in 1080p, you could build at least four or five PCs with that amount of money that are capable of maxing out every title on the market. Watch Dogs might be an exception, though, as it needs more than 3GB of VRAM at ultra settings, but the point still stands.

darkwar854 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I have seen alienware for 5k. But you don't always have to spend a lot of money. Just keep in mind that you will spend a lot of your time building it and finding the best parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canes21 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) @Canes21 so you say that you have played already GTAV or know the "actual" System Requirements for the game so that you can post such a statements? You and I both clearly know exactly what was meant by my statement. Let's not play games here. I know you are more than likely smarter than that. Let me try and break it down for you anyways though. OP asks if you really need a PC that costs $5000 to run GTA V. I come in and say you could easily make one for under $1000 that would run GTA V. Maybe not at maxed out settings, but one that would run it decently enough(as in higher settings). If you know what you are doing, you could easily build a PC near $1000, but still under it that would max V out more than likely as I doubt it will have any groundbreaking requirements. But at the same time, if you're having to buy a monitor, keyboard/mouse, etc. plus the case and all the components, you could still build one for $700 or so that would still run the game at high settings, just not maxed out with AA cranked up, 4k, etc. You and I both know I don't know the requirements, but at the same time, using common sense which I assume you have, we can both come to the conclusion that my statement was correct and there was no need for you to make a sarcastic remark. But if you'd like to sit here again and try to think of something else that is "clever" in reply to this message, who am I to stop you? my pc build was around $700 i can run watch_dogs at ultra I'm interested in this build. I'm not calling BS or anything like that. Genuinely interested. Edited June 24, 2014 by Andreas Removed quote-train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaviColen123 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 You could build a computer under $1000 that'd run GTA V. Not at the highest settings, obviously, but decent enough.

utack Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Cheapest decent PC I could configure in Germany is 543€ ($734) incl shipping. (fyi details) If you sacrifice a little more, probablly aiming for 1080p30 medium PS4 style, you end up with 461€ ($627) (details) Please don't argue about my definition of decent, these are just examples I hacked together for now Edited June 23, 2014 by utack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravendrölf Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Dude just get a decent graphics card. I can't hear this sh*t anymore. 2000 bucks, 3000 bucks my ass. My rig did cost me 1500€ in 2011 and the only thing i will change is my GPU (from GTX 570 to 770). That will cost me approx. 300€ more but combined with my old i7 and 8 GB of RAM everything will be fine for GTA 5 Also the engine has been pretty well optimized. Stop sh*tting your pants.

I figured out a build for myself that is roughly 1500 euros as well. The processor is great, the RAM is way more than enough and the only thing I can see myself changing in two or three years is the GPU. Other than that, unless games star demanding 8 cores and more than 16 GB of RAM in the next year, we'll all be just fine. Not to mention GTA V, although definitely a graphically impressive game, isn't really on the level of some other games like Crysis or Battlefield that tend to be the go-to "benchmark games" for new rigs. It will be a very beautiful game, but don't expect inflated system requirements on the level of Watch_Dogs. In short, you can get a top, high-end PC for 1500 euros (or the dollar equivalent) and only end up having to replace the GPU just a few years down the line if you want to maintain max settings. You will never, in a lifetime or two, need to spend 5000 dollars or euros on a gaming PC to run games at max settings, 1080p. And even when 1080p ceases to be a standard, prices for 4k gaming as a whole will most likely drop enough to be more widely accessible.

Other than that, unless games star demanding 8 cores and more than 16 GB of RAM in the next year, we'll all be just fine. That's going to be a nightmare. RAM isn't exactly cheap these days. I suspect 16GB will become the new requirement/standard fairly soon. I remember when 4GB was "more than enough" a couple years ago. Now 8GB is the standard. Also there are a few games that use 8 cores, with more on the way. Not sure when they'll start demanding them though. We'll just have to see how bad these "next gen" ports are. Anyway RAM will be a pain in the ass, especially when my type of RAM isn't sold anymore. I can't just buy a second pack of 8GB and call it a day. Mixing RAM isn't a good idea, so if I have to upgrade (which I will at some point before the end of the year), I'll have to pay over $100 for a 16GB pack of 1600 Mhz RAM. Ugh...I wish it was still 2012. Back then you could get 8GB of RAM for the price of 4GB now. Edited June 24, 2014 by RyanBurnsRed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
