I'm curious if I'll be able to run GTA VI on my PC when it comes out in a couple of years, even on minimal settings. If that's unlikely, what graphics card should I be looking at to pair with my Ryzen 7 5800X? Right now, I mainly play CS2 and usually get around 270 fps. Would upgrading my GPU significantly improve my performance?

Your CPU is solid, but a 1050 Ti is pretty outdated. The game likely won’t run well on it. Depending on your budget, looking into something newer might be a good idea.
An RTX 5070 could be a good pick if you find it on sale. If that stretches your budget, check if local sellers have an RTX 4070 or 4070 Ti for a decent price.
Honestly, the 1050 Ti is too old—definitely not a great choice for GTA VI. I'd guess you'll need at least an RTX 5060 Ti or RTX 5070 to keep up.
Honestly, you might struggle to run the game with that GPU. It's best to wait for the game announcement and see the recommended specs once they’re out.
To get a better idea, keep an eye on the minimum specs when GTA VI launches. That's the real indicator you'll want to reference!
Your CPU should handle nearly any GPU you throw at it, but that 1050 Ti will really hold you back. Consider upgrading.

Thanks for the advice! I'll start checking out those models.
