I would like an "only if the base PS5 is also 60fps" option in that poll...
because the CPU will be the bottlekneck, and the CPU is barely faster

 

[twilo99]

They should be optimizing for the ancient Zen2 CPUs anyways so it will likely have a "performance" mode of some sort

 

[XXL]

I'm hoping for the best.

I'll still play it at 30fps, but I won't be happy about it.

 

[HL3.exe]

Rockstar is known for taxing the CPU for all its simulation logic. So I'm thinking; no.

 

[rapid32.5]

60 fps locked get a PS6 and problem solved. Wanna feel special for two years get a Pro.

 

[Senua]

Then how do you explain fidelity modes they showed locked at 60 on the Pro when they were 30 on the base?

It's not as simple as that binary of a metric. You can offload a lot to the graphics core, especially when games are more GPGPU dependent, which R* relied on for RDR2 last gen.

GTA games push tech hard, the level of detail and density they showed in the trailer looks to me to be heavy as all fuck. I'm not saying R* can't pull some magic but this game look like it'll be heavy to pull off at 60. Heck I'm worried and I have a 5800X3D which is way more powerful than the PS5 Pro CPU. 40fps to me sounds like a more likely bet.

 

[R6Rider]

I initially want to say no, but they somehow got GTAV running at all on PS3.

So I'm going with yes.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

It could be.

But it's Rockstar and some of you seem to have forgotten they made an absolute killing selling GTA5 upgrades over the following 2 generations.

If they cap it at 30fps on even the Pro then they can rake $$$ it in on the 60fps version on both PC and then the PS6 knowing tens of millions will double dip for upgrades.

Let's see.

It will have a 60fps mode. That is the whole point of this machine and why they are pushing their version of DLSS. It will be heavily marketed with as such (w/ GTA6) around the game's launch.

RDR2 was quite impressively scalable due to them utilizing GPGPU tech rather than being so CPU dependent, even more so with DLSS.

I initially want to say no, but they somehow got GTAV running at all on PS3.

So I'm going with yes.

Even RDR2 and how good it looked on the PS4 which was not much better of a CPU. And in some cases, worse.

 

[Senua]

It will have a 60fps mode.

Yes that's the point of the machine, whether or not R* takes full advantage of it, or gives a fuck is another matter. And that's if it's doable in the first place. We shall see!

[Lokaum D+]

For a 699 machine should be 120 at 4k

 

[Buggy Loop]

CPU limited

Unless the physics / AI / Pedestrian traffic are underwhelming.

 

[K' Dash]

fuck no, lol.

it will have a very choppy performance mode tho.

 

[Unrivaledx88]

LOL no. Just no. This is the life cycle of these consoles. Typically in the beginning you get decent performing games... then as the years get on, oh suddenly all the big AAA releases are 30 fps only.

Shame.

Not a chance bro.

PS5 is a strong console, you guys are underestimating it. I think it will be fine

 

[Kamill]

Well gta6 can skip this gen at all

 

[kevboard]

PS5 is a strong console, you guys are underestimating it. I think it will be fine

not when it comes to CPU power.
they clearly heavily lean on raytracing, raytracing is very CPU heavy, add an open world with lots of cars and pedestrians, add Euphoria, add car phyics and body deformation...

it's very unlikely

 

[Bonfires Down]

Rockstar has one of the best tech teams in the business along with massive resources. If they want to have a 60 fps mode on the base PS5, they can achieve that, although I’m sure there will be visible compromises.

 

[Eszti]

60 with zen 2? Depends. I expect a nice 40 fps mode.

 

[danklord]

Proformance mode

there will only be a 60fps mode if they have good enough fallbacks for their RT effects. specifically the global illumination, which looks to be a core graphical feature of the game.

best case scenario would be that the Series S couldn't handle their RT GI and they had to have a fallback, which in return could mean a 60fps mode without raytracing is in the cards for the other consoles.

they aren't making a PC version at launch, so they do not have to keep mid range and low end PCs in mind in their original console launch version and can work on that issue after the console version is out, at which point they might not even need a fallback for their RT GI anymore either due to the PC market being saturated with cards that are good enough to run the game with RT GI.

so yeah. RT reflections can easily be replaced by SSR, so that's not an issue, shadows probably too as they already have a system for decent real time shadows in their engine.
imo it comes down to the question if the GI has a non-rt fallback, because that's way harder to replace and adjust

 

[Anchovie123]

I really hate how digital foundry have cemented the notion that GTA V wont have a 60fps mode when in reality they have literally no clue. in fact no one does. It very well could have a 60fps mode.

 

[Kerotan]

They might save that for a ps6 port.

 

[salva]

anything can be 60fps with a low enough base resolution

 

[M.W.]

No

 

[kevboard]

anything can be 60fps with a low enough base resolution

that's just objectively wrong.
you could lower the resolution of Starfield to 360p and it would still not run at 60fps inside of cities

 

[Quantum253]

It'll have a fidelity and performance mode.
Ps5 will probably be 1080p 60 upscaled and the Pro will probably be 1440p and use PSSR to get 4k 30 unlocked

 

[Stu_Hart]

Depends if the cpu is the limitation for this game. I can't give a simple yes or no based on that alone.

 

[twilo99]

PS5 is a strong console, you guys are underestimating it. I think it will be fine

There is nothing “strong” about a Zen2 CPU in 2026

 

[Ronin_7]

It’ll be 60 fps on Ps5

At 360p.

 

[MostlyPeaceful]

GTAVI designed to run at 60fps on current consoles will be a significantly less ambitious game at its core than GTAVI designed to run at 30fps on current consoles.

We’re talking about a game that’s supposed to last and be relevant for the next decade+

Anybody who loves Rockstar’s games and plays them for years should absolutely be praying this game has been designed to run at 30fps on current gen.

All the casuals who just wanna play the game once and never touch it again are obviously going to hope it’s 60fps - they aren’t thinking long-term nor do they give a shit, as they shouldn’t.

It’s really that simple.

I’m personally praying it’s a 30fps title because this is a game I plan to play and enjoy for several years to come. I can wait for 60fps on PC/PS6.

 

[nkarafo]

If it's not, imagine how downgraded it will need to be for the base PS5.

 

[FoxMcChief]

There will likely be a performance mode on both base PS5 and Series X.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I know they did that for I-V, but guys, for real, I mean this time is different.

 

[salva]

that's just objectively wrong.

idk man, I just dropped it to 720p (looks like shit) and I'm hitting ~150-160 fps in New Atlantis with DLSS disabled.
