GTA 5 system requirements
GTA V Enhanced needs at least an Intel Core i7-4770 or AMD FX-9590, 8 GB of RAM, a GTX 1630 or RX 6400 with 4 GB of video memory and 105 GB on an SSD. The older GTA V Legacy runs on far weaker PCs, from a Core 2 Quad Q6600, 4 GB of RAM and a 1 GB graphics card, but takes 125 GB of space.
What is the difference between GTA V Legacy and Enhanced?
Rockstar released GTA V Enhanced for PC on 4 March 2025. It brings the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version to PC, with features such as ray tracing, and it was a free upgrade for people who already owned the game. The original 2015 PC version stayed available under the name GTA V Legacy. Both versions need a 64-bit system, an internet connection and a Rockstar account login.
