luvandpower 0 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I am not sure about Arma, but from experience GTA isn't nearly as intensive as many make it seem. I run a Piledriver 8320 AMD and I can stream 720P content for GTA at pretty high settings without any hiccups. I also have a 1080TI GPU with a 8700K that I can stream 4K 60FPS + for GTA V and it is overkill. I guess what I am saying is you don't need the top of the line just something decent. A good I5/I7 or a decent Ryzen 5/7 is more than enough CPU power for what you are wanting to do. Generally GTA V doesn't take more than 4GB of video memory if that helps. I only use like 1.5GB of video memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CmdrSpock 1 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I've personally built a few machines for games such as this with a Ryzen 5 2600 with no issues. 2nd Gen Ryzen 5 or 8th/9th Gen Intel i5 should be perfect. If you have the extra cash go to i7/Ryzen 7 but I doubt you'll use the extra performance. This setup is perfect for 1080p/1440p. Good luck.
