Can the RX 5700 XT run GTA 6?
Compared with the PS5, which runs GTA 6 at 30 fps, the RX 5700 XT is below it: it scores 80 where the PS5's graphics, matched by the Radeon RX 6700, score 100. In numbers that is 57 % of the PS5 Pro, 68 % of the Xbox Series X, 205 % of the Xbox Series S. The figure is our conversion of Notebookcheck's 3DMark Time Spy average onto the same scale, so treat it as an estimate. That is more than 15 % short of the console, so if the PC version asks for console-class graphics, this card would need lower settings than the PS5 uses.
The RX 5700 XT has 8 GB of video memory. Red Dead Redemption 2 recommended cards with 4 GB and GTA V Enhanced cards with 8 GB, so it meets the newer of the two, though 8 GB cards lose ground at high settings: in Tom's Hardware's 1440p ultra tests the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB scores 143 against 153 for the version with twice the memory. Rockstar has not said what GTA 6 asks for; the PS5 shares 16 GB GDDR6 between its processor and graphics.
