A quote from the article:
Game scales well across multiple configs, but 4K is still a system killer. While the vast majority of PC games now support 4K, few make it a defining feature. But what to do when it's a game that's been out since 2013, and already made available on four different systems? Rockstar's been banging the 4K drum ever since it finally admitted that yes, a PC version of Grand Theft Auto V was in the works, but it hasn't gone so far as to tell people exactly what kind of system they'll need to get the game up and running at such a high resolution.

Fortunately, the Internet has stepped up to fill in the gaps. If you were hoping that GTA V's engine was lightweight enough allow 4K at high settings on more modest setups (it did debut on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 4 after all), prepare to be disappointed. In a big benchmarking test over at Gamers Nexus, GTA V was put through its paces on just about every piece of modern graphics hardware around, all the way from a lowly R7 250X through to a $1000 GTX X Titan X. The takeaway? Go dual-GPU or go home if you want 4K approaching anywhere near 60 FPS.
