Sold my 4090 last year, cant wait to play this in 10 years. Did they say what they're playing it on in the video? Is that ps5?

I found this link today, 30fps and they're unsure if 60fps will ever be a thing for the ps5 https://kotaku.com/gta-6-will-be-30fps-at-launch-rockstar-re...

Yep PS5. But apparently for PS5 Pro as well, it will be capped at 30fps (!).

This is disappointing. I bought a PS5 Pro mostly for this game. I didn’t want to make the trade off between graphics and frame rate, which seemed to be what the base PS5 often makes people do (from what I read).

I guess we can hope for a future update once they figure out how to optimize more.

If you have a jailbroken PS5, you can get FPS patches that unlock the framerate for many games. RDR2 runs smoothly at 60FPS in 1080p with the patch [1]. I suspect that such patches will be released for GTA6 as well soon after release

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed as well. Based on what I've read on various forums, I'm not holding my breath for any future updates that will unlock higher fps given CPU is already constrained, and PS5 Pro's benefits over the PS5 is GPU.

I guess it will be a typical Rockstar play of buying the PS6 version to get 60fps.

Why did you sell the 4090?

To pay off the mortgage.

I'm traveling in a rv and only generate 600w of solar max in the best conditions a few hours a day, the 4090 itself took 500w. For comparison sake, my 24v rooftop air conditioner takes between 350-1200w and my oven takes 1200-2000w, my fridge takes under 100w. I have 12kw total battery capacity (and I'm never at 100%). This of course isn't including all my lights, fridge, etc. And I don't run anything as much as my computer.

I game on my m1 max macbook pro now which is shockingly good at ~100wh.

I tried to make it make sense but it just doesnt. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMRWCkjBSoFUpIKFbcPhds5... I have enough battery charging frustrations with the few things I do run daily.

Should've kept the GPU even if unused rather than sold it for whenever you're done traveling as they are much higher in price now if you wanted to re-buy, such as for local LLM usage.

I knew I shouldn't have responded to your stupid question. I didn't ask for your input.

Sorry if it came off that way, I was just confused why anyone would sell such an item, especially with the market as it is today, if they weren't desperate for money or something which you didn't seem to imply you were.

It didn't "came off that way". You literally decided to speak up about something that has nothing to do with you.

It's a discussion forum, if you don't like discussing then don't comment. No one needs your permission to comment on your posts.

I don't disagree, but no one forces you to be a jerk. Don't act surprised when you receive a pushback for that.

GeForce Now sub for a year can be had for 150 USD. The most premium one giving you access to their newest gear.

I hate subscription economy as much as the next guy but this is a very good deal in current environment.

No GTA game is on GeforceNow

GeForce Now allows you to play any game you own on steam, am I mistaken that you can play GTA V and IV and San Andreas (the horrible remake) this way?

"almost" any game, and not just Steam, but Xbox too.

No. Only games the publishers allow.

No you cannot, publishers sued Nvidia a while ago claiming it was unauthorized (even though it wasn't, it's just a cloud computer) so now Nvidia only allows specific games to be played. However other cloud GPU providers allow you to run Windows and Steam to play whatever game you want.

Can't imagine they won't try to get it working
