Will a Radeon R9 270X be enough to play GTA V smoothly in Ultra settings?
I'm wondering if the GPU Radeon R9 270X (it's from Sapphire, but that isn't important) will be enough to play GTA V smoothly (30 to 50 FPS) in Ultra settings. It was announced to be on PC two weeks ago, and it'll come out in October probably, but considering Max Payne 3 I think it'll be well optimized, unlike GTA: IV.

If the answer is not, I wonder if I can play it in High settings or Medium settings.

I do also wonder if this GPU will be able to play Star Wars: Battlefront (the new one), though it'll come out in 2015.

It will work since i have played Ryse son of rome in ultra setting 1080p res and gave me about 55-70 fps so smooth, and one more thing crytech games are much more photorealitic than rockstar games since its the same game engine used for max payne 3 it will work smoothly and there will be no lag in playing if the surrounding is crowded or not. So in the end R9 270x 2gb will easily work.

since most games need maximum 1280 stream processors which r9 has so i am very much sure it will work.

It may range from 30-60 fps max settings on their graphics. If you are using graphic mods when they come out expect a slightly lower fps performance.
You should have a good cpu for GTA to keep it above 30fps.

R9 270X is a good gpu but in heavy gun fights it can lag a little bit.

Yes easily even with an amd fx 4100 (which isnt very powerful)

No problem, let's see if anyone has the answer to the question here. I think the R9 270X will be able to play GTA V in Ultra smoothly, but I want to be sure. About the Star Wars: Battlefront game I think I shouldn't have asked, as the game is coming out in 2015, and hey, it's a year of difference!
