GTA 5 PC in 4K is an "Eye-Opener," Rockstar Says

Skyrim is older than GTA V and didn't push the hardware of the PS3/Xbox360 as far as GTA did. And it didn't had a remaster or re-release on PS4/X1.

And with all my respects for Anandtech, those numbers are only one of the possible set-up configuration of the game. Look at this

They need an 7970 to get that average result than AnandTech got with a 7870. Same Res, same quality, same AF, just different AA.

Also, just look at the news again and look that a 7870 is needed to run the game at 4K@30fps, but it also says "To be able to run the game at 4K resolution at 60fps you'll need a high-end SLI or Crossfire setup."

A high-end SLI or Crossfire set-up to double the frames? The 290X or 970 should be more than capable of that, why do they recomend Xfire/SLI unless it is because the 7870 is only capable of running it on low at 4K?

The OT does say "at minimum a AMD HD 7870", so i'd assume 4k/30fps/low is the reference point for that.

It is a bit confusing though. Their lack of a qualifier when talking about what you'd need for 4k/60fps leaves us with a few unnecessary questions. If he'd said something like "you need [x] so max the game at 4k/60fps", it would make more sense.

But that was my point, that an 7870 would only be able to run the game at 4K@30fps on low settings. It was sc94597 who said that it would run GTA V at high settings based on Skyrim.
