PC vs PS5
Which PC parts match the PS5 for GTA 6?
For the graphics, the Radeon RX 6700 (10 GB) R source; for the processor, the AMD 4700S desktop kit R source. Those two parts are the 100 on our scale. The PS5 runs GTA 6 at 30 fps R source, rendered at native 1440p, upscaled to 4K R.

The index of each console's graphics and processor, with the desktop part in our list that lands nearest to it.
| Console | Graphics index | Nearest card | Processor index | Nearest processor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 | 100 R source | RX 6700 | 100 R source | Core i3-10100F |
| PS5 Pro | 141 E source | RX 9060 XT 16GB | 110 E source | Ryzen 3 3100 |
| Xbox Series X | 117 E source | RX 6750 XT | 103 E source | Core i5-9400F |
| Xbox Series S | 39 E source | GTX 1060 6GB | 97 E source | Ryzen 7 1800X |

The consoles' own specs
| Console | Graphics | Processor | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 | AMD RDNA 2 at up to 2.23 GHz, 10.3 TFLOPS C source | AMD Zen 2, 8 cores and 16 threads at up to 3.5 GHz C source | 16 GB GDDR6 shared by the processor and GPU, 448 GB/s C source |
| PS5 Pro | 67 % more compute units than the PS5, 28 % faster memory, up to 45 % faster rendering C source | The PS5 processor; leaked documents describe a mode about 10 % faster (3.85 GHz) R source | 16 GB GDDR6, 28 % faster than the PS5 C source |
| Xbox Series X | AMD RDNA 2, 52 compute units at 1.825 GHz, 12 TFLOPS C source | AMD Zen 2, 8 cores at 3.8 GHz, or 3.6 GHz with SMT C source | 16 GB GDDR6: 10 GB at 560 GB/s and 6 GB at 336 GB/s C source |
| Xbox Series S | AMD RDNA 2, 20 compute units at 1.565 GHz, 4 TFLOPS C source | AMD Zen 2, 8 cores at 3.6 GHz, or 3.4 GHz with SMT R source | 10 GB GDDR6: 8 GB at 224 GB/s and 2 GB at 56 GB/s C source |
Why these two parts stand in for the PS5
Digital Foundry calls its specs "extremely close" to the PS5 and matched settings between the two in seven games, with the RTX 2070 Super as a second stand-in. A pointer for comparison, not a claim that the two perform the same in every game. An 8-core Zen 2 chip with its graphics disabled, which Tom's Hardware concluded is almost certainly a defective PS5 chip. AMD declined to comment. On our scale the nearest card to the PS5 apart from the RX 6700 itself is the RTX 2080, at 101.
Matching the console is not the same as matching its result. A PC version runs on Windows and a graphics driver, without the fixed hardware a console game is tuned for, so we only call a PC part above the PS5 with a 30 % lead. The methodology page explains that margin.
The PS5 Pro
Digital Foundry matched the PS5 Pro's graphics with two desktop cards: GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, slightly ahead of the console R source. For GTA 6 it does not expect much from the Pro: 60 fps unlikely: the Pro adds GPU power, not processor power R source. The reason is the processor, which the Pro barely changes.
