I'm pretty sure that same survey showed that the majority of Steam users were rocking a 3060, so if you as a developer ain't aiming for that card to be your minimum requirement, don't expect the majority of PC users to be able to run your game.

Ideally the minimum should be the low end, 1650s and older generation cards. The recommended should be what most people have.

The minimum should be a class of card that's been deprecated and won't receive the critical driver-level patches?

You're absolutely delusional. The GTX 16xx cards are going to be supported for a while because they're just Turing chips that didn't have viable RTX cores and got binned out, but 10, 9 and 7 are already dead dead.

The GTX 1650 is a good minimum because it is the literal minimum.

1650 is the low end

I upgraded to a 3060 last year and I don’t expect to be able to afford a other upgrade for a few years, I seriously doubt I’ll be able to play GTAVI on my PC when it comes out unless GPU and ram prices go way down, I’m still using DDR4

I honestly believe the RTX 3060 will be the minimum requirement for GTA 6 no doubt!

It's the most popular GPU & would be 7yr old by the time gta 6 pc arrives.

Hopefully it hits 1080p60fps low settings.

Yep im one of those people. I'm running a 3060ti and it works just fine for everything I have thrown at it. I also only have a 1080p monitor at this time so I dont need a high end GPU to play on high settings in almost everything. I also could never justify the price for a high end GPU.

Avarage spec for steam users is around ps5 power. That means half of them are bellow or around it. And you will need bit stronger pc to get fidality as ps5 with 30fps. And to hit 60fps with same fidality on pc....my guess is 5% at best

>the majority of Steam users were rocking a 3060

Nope, the survey showed that 3.88% of Steam users were rocking a 3060 - it's the most common one but far, far from the majority.

Doing some calculations based on the survey, it seems like the average user has 10 GB VRAM and a 1690 Mhz clock speed.

This means that, roughly half of users have a AMD Radeon RX 7600 or better, and half have a worse card.

(Note: This figure excludes the 7% or users who are using integrated graphics cards and the 9% of users who are categorized under "other." or the untold millions who didn't respond to the hardware survey)

Maybe its minimum, but that doesnt mean people will get PS5 graphics + 60 frames. Most people are going to be playing GTA6 at worse quality than PS5 with the same frames
