Yoona Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) If you get any Haswell i7 processor paired with 2 or 3 GTX 980's then you should not have any problems maxing it out on 4K 60 fps.

GtaGamer2222 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) First of all don't go alienware (unless you want overpriced sh*t)! And afaik there isn't a rig that can actually run crysis 3 4k 60fps =/ so i doubt anyone can run GTA V at 4K ultra 60fps (don't mark my words lol) and since you are in the top dollar range go for intel and nvidia (i'm not a fan boy both my cpu and gpu are AMD ) and if you need help building your PC check reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcalot of people willing to help Edited February 22, 2015 by GtaGamer2222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaito Katsumi Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Well you will need The an i7 extreme, the best one, 3 or more (if possible) GTX 980s 32GB ram A monster cooling system. Powered by a helicopter rotor. Lol jk wait for the next generation of PC tech. GN 92 and nkjellman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoona Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I don't really think he would need 3 or 4 GTX 980's. GTX 980 is twice as powerful as GTX 960 and GTX 960 is well above recommended for GTA V. 4K is 4 times the pixels of 1080p, so he needs 4x more powerful card than let's say GTX 960. One GTX 980 already has power of 2 GTX 960, so if he had 2 of GTX 980 then he has around the same performance in 4K as GTX 960 would have in 1080p. I say buy 2 of them and if you are not satisfied with FPS on ultra in 4K then just buy third card.

Cleverley1986 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 These comments are slightly incorrect. My advice would be to wait for a samsung ue590 4k freesync monitor. Then wait for an amd 390x benchmarks. The 4gb hbm vram will be a monster and blow 980's out the water. This stuff is likely to be announced at GDC in march prior to gta's release.

RedIndianRobin Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 GTA V 4K Ultra @ 60fps? No chance mate. Even 3 or 4 way 980 SLI would struggle to run 4K at 60. Hi-graphics games like Crysis 3, Ryse, struggled really hard to run 60 on 4K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal3lf Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Ok first of all, you don't need the best new i7-5X series CPU. A i5-4690K would be perfectly suitable if you're only wanting to use it for gaming. In terms of graphics processing you'll need at least a single GTX980(I'd push for 2*GTX-980 to get stable 60FPS+) if you're only going to use a single 4k monitor. If you want to do more than game, then a i7-4790K, 4930 or if you want to go super overkill, 5960X. Make sure you have an SLI supported motherboard, unless you want to go with AMD, but since money isn't an issue I would recommend both Crossfire and SLI support. Don't forget about cooling. Would recommend a Corsair H110 for CPU cooling, and lots of airflow in your case(you'll need it for dual GPU's). As for RAM, I'd say 16GB is almost the new standard. For gaming 8-16GB is enough, obviously if you want more then make sure you have Windows Professional or Ultimate because they won't support more than 16GB. Fill in the rest of what you want, make sure you have enough power and you'll have a 4k 60+FPS machine. GTA V 4K Ultra @ 60fps? No chance mate. Even 3 or 4 way 980 SLI would struggle to run 4K at 60. Hi-graphics games like Crysis 3, Ryse, struggled really hard to run 60 on 4K. I can run 1440p games on a single GTX-970. A single GTX-980 is easily capable of 4k, it depends what games you're trying to run and how optimised they are.

Exactly, you end up paying a lot less. No doubt there will be a 395 X2 as well. If you really have no cash limit, wait for the RX 300's to launch in a few months. That will compress the market and expand your options. hunk41 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utack Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 If you absolutely need "4K 60fps" it sounds like you made the mistake of buying a 4k display too early. When upgrading something like a monitor you should at least get a Gsync or Freesync one or you bought something obsolete. And then you just need something like average 70fps but it can also go to 50-55fps in extreme cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolcksta Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 In all seriousness, what are you truly going to get out of having 4k res? a number? I mean hey I have seen 4k resolution and I see in a sense why you would want it, but I honestly don't see the point of having it on a game, 1080p alone is great, but 4k is completely unnecessary.

parallaxscroll Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The upcoming AMD 300 series (R9-390X in particular) should have a lot more bandwidth as well as performance for 4K 60fps gaming. Also, Nvidia will probably launch GM200 (Titan II and GTX 1000 series) not long after that. With either R9-390x or GTX 10X0 one might be able to easily do 4K 60FPS gaming with maybe 1 card or at the most, 2 cards in CrossFireX/SLI instead needing 3 or 4 cards.

I definitly want a 4k screen with 24-25" asap, but I will probablly still game at 1080p where performance is not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurriedPierogies Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) My bet would be i7-5960X overclocked to 4 ghz+ Evga X99 Classified 2x gtx 980 any 16GB ddr4 (corsair is my fav) some 1200 watt power supply gold or platinum any full tower Two 1 TB Sata SSDs in Raid 0 Two 4TB Hybrid drives for mass storage http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9Zr3vK and you still have room as it only comes to like 4500 bucks lol I thought 8gb 290X would have been better but it seems the best way to go would be titan Z(which i can't even find...) so 2x 980 seems to be the second best thing so i'll probably change the psu to some 1000 watt since power consumption on this thing wont be too high but like people said waiting for the new cards (titan x/2?) and the amd cards with HBM and high memory bus might be a smart idea... GM 200 will supposedly be way better than the GM204 which is in the 980 http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/sapphire-r9-290x-vapor-x-8gb-cf-review/all/1/ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G2HZ2690&cm_re=4k_monitor_gsync-_-24-009-658-_-Product ^decent monitor for like 700-800 bucks Edited February 22, 2015 by CurriedPierogies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsk222 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 You probably want to wait until AMD releases the R9 300 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanBurnsRed Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) GTX 980s are powerful, but at 4K you're going to need more than 4GB of vram, especially for open world games. Look into the R9 290X 8GB or the R9 295X2 if you plan on building it before March. If not then wait until AFTER GTA V and AMD's 300 series are released. The Titan Z like some people are recommending DOES NOT have 12GB of vram despite what it says on the box. SLI CANNOT combine vram. Each GK110 chip in the Titan Z has 6GB of vram that is shared with each other. It's like the GTX 690 that claimed to have 4GB of vram but really only had effectively 2GB. That being said 6GB at 4K should be enough granted you aren't planning to do surround. Edited February 22, 2015 by RyanBurnsRed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMcSame Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Hi GTA forums, i ain't no pc nerd like some other people but i have A Lot of money to spend, (in the $6,000 range) and i was wondering how i could run gta 5 on the pc at 4k, ultra settings and 60 fps. I have the money like i said. The term is enthusiast... Anyway, as a general guide line, these are the more important parts to focus on: CPU: i5 4690 minimum would be my recommendation. No higher than a 4790k unless you're doing CPU intensive tasks at home for your job. You don't need some stupid ass $1000 CPU just for 4k gaming Storage: Not too important for performance but at least 1 SSD for the boot drive Video card: My recommendation... x2 GTX 980s or R9 295x2 (depending on the budget). 970s could work but I'd feel safer with 4GB of fast VRAM rather than 3.5GB. You DON'T need stupid amounts of VRAM for 4k, a 4GB card is going to perform like its 8GB variant while gaming in 4k. As long as the GPU is powerful, VRAM isn't going to be a problem. However, waiting for the R9 300 series would be a good idea. PSU: Quite important. Something decent. 750W is overkill but the EVGA G2 would be a good start and allows for some overhead.

poland stronk Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Getting 2 or even 3 GTX 980s wouldn't be stupid as DirectX 12 is said to treat those cards as one entity so no 175% performance of single card but 300%. Not to mention general massive fps boost. As of the rest of the components, grabbing newest i5 and 8 gigs of ram should suffice but considering massive investment into the cards it wouldn't be stupid to make the build more "future-proof" with i7 and 16GB RAM. Going for 2011 socket and DDR4 RAM is overkill in my opinion. Although I am now AMD user I wouldn't recommend waiting for R9 3xx as AMD cards tend to be hotter and powerconsuming. But if someone wants to save some money then after their release prices for all graphics cards will surely drop. New R9s are not that good as AMD promises because they are resigning from some of their original ideas involving those cards from what I've heard.

Koger Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Why the f*ck do you need it to run at 4K ? Just because the game supports it ? Just run it at 1080p or 1440p with 8xMSAA or 4xTXAA. Problem solved. Don't go for 4K. You won't notice jagged lines unless you're looking for them.

You are speculating about the RX 300's as a negative, but DX12 as a positive.... Please note it is all speculation right now! Until something is proven, nothing is concrete. The AMD cards may well not be as effective at launch, but then, there is no sure-fire guarantee that DX12 is as powerful as claimed, we still only have dev and test builds of it right now, so nothing can be proven until things progress.
