On low graphics settings it should be alright. GTA 4 was a tough game to run with acceptable FPS on medium settings using a Intel Q6600,6gb ram and an ATi HD4850.
 
I'd forgotten about GTA5, having read the specs I'm just sad. You'll be on low settings while I'll be a generation or two behind :(
 
Well, GTA 4 was a horribly unoptimised console port. I hope it will be better with the new version... also, if I understand correctly, GTA5 uses the same engine.

My guess is that rMBP should be able to play it at 1680x1050 etc. at medium settings or so. In any case, Dishonoured (which is a GPU-intensive game) runs rather smoothly on 1680x1050 and high settings.

I couldn't find any official specs - where did you find them?

I heard it was just a horrible console port so hopefully Rockstar doesn't make the same mistake :(
 
These requirements are a lie sadly. No such information has been made officially available and a PC release date for GTA 5 will cam far beyond the console release in next spring.

Its likely that GTA 5 will struggle to run on low settings a retina macbook pro, looking at Rockstar's history with PC games, GTA 5 specifically. Its likely it runs all on the same core engine meaning it will likely have similarly high requirements relative to the new tech.
 
I hope you guys realize that this game is still probably at least 6 months away, we've been lucky just to get trailers/screenshots. There still isn't even a release date yet..
