Just don't be upset if you're not running it 60 FPS on medium is all I'm saying. Your GPU might be able to physically run the game but it might be put under a lot of stress. Make sure you get enough air to it and make sure it doesn't overheat.
Its one of the things my gpu does quite well is its temperatures. It IS over clocked but not very much, core temps still well within reasonable bounds. I'll keep an eye out though

The far cry 4 example by tera path isn't really a good comparison, it's a bad port, meaning it stresses the CPU (bad ports usually require high end CPU to bypass the unoptimized coding). I Could stabilize it on ultra with an Oc'd q9650 at 4.2 with a gtx 770. With some stuterring, well that's the games fault not mine.

If you can ultra max payne 3 you should be fine with gta 5. Max payne 3 was an incredible port, it's good at utlizing cores, threads correctly as well as GPU scaling, you should be fine with gta 5 if rockstar doesn't make it a shitty port like GTA 4 which struggles even with an i7.
I never understood this "Port" thing, what the heck is it anyways?

In order:

1)Thread title is more likely to draw larger amounts of knowledgeable people. I'm appealing to people's ego. "Oh, they want smart people? then i'm there guy!", while maintaining an accurate depiction of my request
2)So in tech threads we don't explain our knowledge level so that anyone giving an answer can scale it up or down depending on my capabilities? When a doctor is trying to describe cancer to a child, they use very simple terms. When they're describing it to another doctor, they use the proper terminology. I'm describing my knowledge level so any viable response can be high enough in detail that it won't tell me something i don't know, but low enough that they aren't going over my head.
3)Stating the exact nature of my specs is commonplace in a tech discussion. It would actually be harmful to the quality of the engagement if I left out details. Any hardware forum will tell you more detail is better than not enough.
4)My gpu was 90 some odd dollars when i got it and runs almost every current game at medium to high 1080p. I wouldn't call it overpriced. At the time of my purchace, it was 3dmark's top spot for price/performance ratio
5)I was asking for the opinion of more knowledgeable people to see if my assertions was correct.
6) Your "its incompatible" speech is cute, but as i said, i can max out max payne 3 and it has HIGHER requirements than gta v and its the same developer. So by saying that my conclusion was correct and following up with that response was outright a contradiction.
7)Yes it does matter how high the rest of my features are when most people are bottlenecked by CPU in gta games not gpu. Gta is notoriously cpu intensive. Do you research before you comment?
8)Clearly if i'm talking about desired frame-rates, no shit i mean quality and performance. what would be the point of this thread if i planned on maxing it out regardless how it performed? No you didn't help at all

thanks for calling ME pretentious while being an insufferable cóck at the same time. You've added nothing to the conversation besides pissing me off.
How about if you simply tried testing the game on your PC yourself, then wouldn't you have the answer?
