GTAV's New PC Requirements And A Few 4K Screen Grabs To Boot
This week the folks at RockStar have dished out several screenshots – screen grabs, whatever you want to call them – from their current PC build of GTAV. They've also shared requirements for the game on PC, both minimum and recommended. And Yes, you will need Windows to run this game – no Mac or Linux allowed (as of yet, that is). This game was most recently set to arrive March 24th – but it's been bumped to April 14th, and that's (supposedly) the final word on that.
Straight from RockStar Games we're to understand that GTAV for PC is "fully optimized to support all the latest and greatest hardware with an abundance of PC-specific enhancements." That means the cards we just saw released over the past several weeks. Big time graphic powerhouse action, basically.
The fifteen PC screens you see below were captured by RockStar at 4K resolution, saved, uploaded, downloaded by SlashGear, then uploaded again to WordPress. So give them a break, for crying out loud, they've been through a lot today.
