<\/a>NPCs in GTA 6 Netflix Extended Look shown<\/p>\n

Rockstar\u2019s anticipated open-world title may not exceed 30 fps on the Xbox, PS5, or PS5 Pro. A GTA 6 PC port lurks as a solution for players who prefer smoother gameplay. Unfortunately, a breakdown of the Netflix Extended Look suggests that few configurations might achieve 60 fps. <\/p>\n

In previews<\/a> following the GTA 6 Netflix Extended Look<\/a>, Rockstar North hinted that 60 fps was not a goal even for the PS5 Pro<\/a>. That may have some console owners contemplating waiting for the PC port\u2019s release date<\/a>. However, a performance analysis from Digital Foundry<\/a> explains why the game will stress the most powerful rigs. <\/p>\n

Is 60 fps a pipe dream?<\/p>\n

The site noted that the lengthy trailer runs at native 1440p, an impressive feat for the base PS5<\/a>. The frame rate mostly holds at 30 fps, but not without Rockstar developers pushing the hardware to its limits. As a result, Digital Foundry doubts doubling that mark would be realistic on existing Xbox and PlayStation systems<\/a>. <\/p>\n

During the GTA 6 Netflix special, viewers see a Vice City<\/a> packed with NPCs<\/a>, traffic, and pedestrians. Simulating that complex open world taxes the CPUs of current-gen consoles. Adding effects like ray-traced global illumination further compromises performance.<\/p>\n

The GTA 6 PC port may boost visual fidelity with more advanced lighting and reflections. Evolving DLSS upscaling<\/a> should also let gamers experience a 4K resolution. Nevertheless, the trailer breakdown cautions that the extreme level of detail<\/a> \u201ccould make hitting 60 fps genuinely challenging<\/a> in a way we don’t often see.\u201d <\/p>\n

Digital Foundry suspects that only a machine with a high-end Ryzen X3D CPU<\/a> would reach 60 fps. Amid the component shortage<\/a>, building a top-tier gaming PC is a frightening proposition for Xbox and PS5 loyalists. Storage, memory, GPUs<\/a>, and motherboards<\/a> have been impacted. <\/p>\n

Gaming PC versatility<\/p>\n

Despite the daunting task, desktop and laptop users have more flexibility with graphical settings. If a player prioritizes smooth gameplay<\/a>, they could disable features such as ray tracing<\/a> to boost frame rates. A lower-resolution monitor<\/a> would also make high refresh rates achievable. <\/p>\n

Rockstar has yet to confirm a GTA 6 PC version or provide clues about its release date. A former producer for the studio<\/a> revealed that even with the company\u2019s resources, its focus is likely entirely on the Xbox and PS5. Still, recent Grand Theft Auto<\/a> and Red Dead Redemption<\/a> titles all saw ports arrive within 19 months.<\/p>\n
