info_outline Note: Official system requirements from Rockstar Games (PC version). Performance can vary depending on specific hardware, settings, and background applications. An SSD is strongly recommended for optimal performance due to the game's massive world and detailed textures.

laptop_windows Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of listed desktop GPUs may work if their performance is comparable, but TGP (Total Graphics Power) and cooling are extremely critical for this demanding title. **This is one of the most graphically intensive games available, and high-end laptop hardware is required for enjoyable experiences at higher settings.**

info_outline GPU TGP: Maximum TGP is crucial for performance.

info_outline Cooling Thermals: Excellent cooling is essential to prevent severe thermal throttling.

info_outline CPU Power Limits: Laptops with sustained high CPU power limits will perform better.

info_outline RAM Speed Dual Channel: Fast dual-channel RAM significantly benefits performance.

info_outline MUX Switch Optimus: Using a MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended for optimal framerates.

build Optimization Note: Supports NVIDIA DLSS. AMD FSR support may vary or require mods depending on game version/updates. Texture Quality, MSAA (very demanding), Reflection Quality, Water Quality, Volumetric Quality, Shadow Quality, TAA Sharpening, and advanced graphics settings like Tree Tessellation and Grass Shadows heavily impact performance. Finding a balance is key.
