Can I run Grand Theft Auto VI with a Radeon RX 7900 XT?

The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 39 against the 45 that Grand Theft Auto VI asks for at the high tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.

That readout is the best this card can do in Grand Theft Auto VI: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Grand Theft Auto VI the processor beside a Radeon RX 7900 XT changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.
