The briefing
Written before Rockstar published final performance specifications, this analysis argues that the trailers and likely CPU workload point toward thirty frames per second. It discusses why a heavily simulated world can present different constraints from a simpler game with a sixty-frame mode.
The source explicitly labels its conclusion as speculation. It is not a benchmark or a complete console comparison. The historical discussion remains useful for understanding the tradeoff being debated, while the shipping build must supply actual frame-rate evidence.
