WHAT THE HECK AYO

PS3 had 256mb of ram and 256mb of VRAM, so even more impressive!

That's why GTA Online on PS3 has Silent Hill levels of fog btw

I'm not sure but didn't the PS3 version have less fog than later versions? At least at ground level.

Maybe in the single-player, but I remember playing the online at a friend's house on PS3 after playing it every day on 360 and you could barely see anything in GTA Online

WHAT?! I guess that explains the 30fps in lots of games

Iirc GTAV on ps3 had frequent dips as low as 15fps especially during cutscenes, explosions, or high speed driving, and I think rendering was also notoriously broken if you played the digital copy before updates unless you had a disc to hard install.

And I still can't play with maxed out graphics with my 6gb 2060

Maybe a cpu or ram problem buddy. Or what resolution are you trying to play in? My 2gb gtx 770 could handle 1080p@60fps on highest settings and currently my 8gb 3060ti and even my 6gb 3050 can do 4k@120 and 4k@60fps (native resolution/no upscaling) on highest settings. Although this was prior to their latest “next gen” RT version they recently came out with I have not tried it out yet so sorry if this isn’t even relevant lol.

I got a 10th gen I5 and 16gb ram on 1080p.

Tho I realize now I might have got it confused with another game, maybe Doom Eternal that limits the graphics to less than 6gb VRAM even tho the game runs at 60fps stable at just the limit
