GTA V system requirements

GTA 5, for a game that came out in 2013, still holds up well, and people often use it as a benchmark to test out their hardware. The game can be extremely demanding, hardware-wise, even in 2020, and will push a PC to the maximum.

GTA 5 is home to some of the best mods on PCs, and several high-res and realistic mods push the game's graphics even further. Therefore, it is always recommended to have a good PC setup to play GTA Online.

Keep in mind that minimum required hardware will only help run GTA 5 in medium to low settings, and with the resolution also turned down. Therefore, getting the full Grand Theft Auto experience is tougher that way.

As a result, going above the minimum required hardware is always advisable.
