Is GTA 5 for the PC really something cool to look forward to or are the developers over at Rockstar just creating some hype for the said game?

The answer to all that may eventually depend on a gamer's PC meaning the higher the specs the better and more impressive the game gets. Apparently the Rockstar developers were impressed themselves with the result of high end graphics that the game carries, something set in Los Santos. And when they say high spec graphics, that points to their recommended specs - 4K at 30fps and 60fps.

Hence, the eye-opening part refers to folks who may have to make sure that their PC requirements are up to par. So if you are unsure on whether your PC can handle the 4K resolution requirements, perhaps these base (minimum) requirements must be at least an AMD HD 7870 or NVidia GTX 760 with 2GB of VRAM.

Those are the minimum specs one would need if they want to experience the impressive display that developers are talking about. So if you are planning to take the GTA 5 experience, it would be best to check your PC now. If not, maybe it would be time for an upgrade, assuming you want to see what spunky resolution Rockstar is so impressed with.

But as in every game, playing with optimal visuals and graphic quality will still depend on a user's settings. It may all be about how the frame rate could cope up with the game graphics and resolution, something that can easily be tweaked if you have the minimum requirements set forth by Rockstar.

After much delay, the GTA V for PC released April 14.
