Put simply, there isn’t a PC around that can handle every graphics option cranked to the maximum, as there are a couple of settings that will humble even a pair of Titan X graphics cards.
GTAV is likely to inspire some serious spending amongst the PC hardware community, as it is one of the most demanding games in existence. You’ll need an absolute beast to run it at maximum detail, yet Rockstar has ensured that even midrange systems get a console-beating experience.
