An RTX 5060 with DLSS 4 support and a fast NVMe SSD, both above what Rockstar recommends for GTA V Enhanced. A great first rig for Los Santos.

What It Demands
What GTA Asks of Your PC
GTA V Enhanced brought ray tracing and faster loading to PC, and the open-world city puts steady pressure on every part of your system. GTA 6 launches on consoles on November 19, 2026. Rockstar hasn't announced a PC version or PC specs yet, so we'll update this page the moment they do.
A Whole City at Once
Traffic, pedestrians, police, and weather all running together. Open-world GTA leans on a strong CPU to keep the city alive without hitching.
Ray Tracing & Detail
GTA V Enhanced on PC adds ray-traced lighting and reflections, and a modern RTX card with DLSS is what lets you turn them on and keep things smooth.
Fast Storage
GTA V Enhanced recommends a DirectStorage-compatible SSD. A fast NVMe drive means less waiting on loading screens and smoother driving through the city.

FAQ
GTA PC Questions
Is GTA 6 out on PC?
Not yet. Rockstar has announced GTA 6 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026, and has not announced a PC version or PC system requirements. Rockstar has brought every major GTA to PC after console in the past, but nothing is official yet.
Will these builds run GTA 6 when it comes to PC?
Nobody can promise that until Rockstar publishes the PC requirements. What we can say is that the Sweet Spot and Max builds are well above what today's biggest open-world games ask for, with 32GB RAM, X3D processors, and RTX 50 Series graphics. When official specs are out, we'll update this page.
What does GTA V Enhanced need on PC?
Rockstar recommends 16GB of dual-channel RAM, an RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT class graphics card, and a DirectStorage-compatible SSD. Our Sweet Spot and Max builds exceed all of it. The PowerStarter beats the graphics and storage recommendations and ships with a single 16GB memory stick, so ask us about a dual-channel memory upgrade.
Why don't you list exact FPS numbers?
Performance changes with game updates, drivers, mods, and settings. Instead of posting numbers that go stale, we match each build to a resolution and settings target, and you can watch it in action on our streams.
Can I customize one of these builds?
Yes. Use our Custom PC Builder or send us a custom build request and we'll spec a rig around how you play.

Every PowerGPU rig is hand-built, stress-tested, and backed by a 3-year warranty with lifetime U.S. tech support.
