In Unity it seemed pretty light - maybe a few FPS difference between low and PCSS. Then again Unity with low shadows is still drawing quite a bit.

Unless the achievements of being able to download from steam matters to you, you can just manually add it to your stream library like other games.Yeah but...no steam

Given I haven't played this since the PS3 outing, I have no issue getting it for 47 on Steam thanks to some Man crate sales.

Any idea if this game will be easy to mod, or will Rockstar make it difficult?

there are some differences in the way Steam handles the game...in the ReadMe file it says Steam will handle the patching process and not RSC like all other versions
Considering they apparently haven't gone completely full on with the overly active DRM, it actually looks a bit hopeful at the minute

Well that's obviously because you download the game from the Steam servers and not R*Club. They would have to do the patches that way.
Really the only difference is if you have Steam set to Auto Patch your games. Otherwise R*Club will just have a notification telling you a patch is available.

not every game bought off Steam uses Steam to patch...Elder Scrolls Online patches through it's own launcher even if bought on Steam

Never use FXAA unless you are downsampling or using a sharpening filter. Use SMAA instead.

Not sure if this is thread worthy and haven't got time to read it properly but Gamespot have interviewed Rockstar North and asked a lot of stuff including about new features and the delays vs consoles
You can check how high you can go without overdoing it when playing the game. For first person games I usually go for 90 or mostly above 85, does the job for all games. Third person is a bit different and trickier but I did used a FOV mod for The Evil Within which worked really nicely.
That last answer about modding reads like its real locked down to stop mods messing with GTA online...
and there it is. crucial. you can barely see your weapon in first person on current gen even with the slider on max.

I honestly expected this.
GTA Online is their cash cow, I'd expect them to do everything in their power to restrict cheating and bypassing their progression systems.

That isn't a bad thing. It stems from how they set up the FP mode.
Interesting, I'm expecting quite a bit less from my single Titan X. 60fps @ 1620p downsampled to 1080p, with mostly everything maxed except for demanding settings such as PCSS, MSAA, TXAA, etc. That being said, I hope your expectations are more in line with what we're going to get. Downsampling from 4K would sure be fantastic.

I wonder if normal grass is Xbox One grass, or PS4 grass. Or maybe normal refers to the last gen versions?
The next generation of GPUs is supposed to bring huge gains. Die shrink, stacked vram, etc.
If you can wait, you should.

The perfect FoV usually is the same as real-world monitor FoV, but some people prefer higher.
Diagonal FoV is higher than horizontal or vertical FoV
(i.e. sitting closer to a bigger monitor -> higher FoV)
You can use a online calculator (e.g. here) or calculate yourself (see below)
Diagonal FoV:
Code:
2xArcTan[diagonal/(2*view distance)]
Code:
2xArcTan[(diagonal*0.8715)/(2*view distance)]
with Cos[ArcTan[9/16]] ~= 0.8715Examples:
Sitting 20" away from a 24" monitor has a 55 degree horizontal FoV.
Sitting 80" away from a 55" TV has a a 33 degree horizontal FoV.

That's fine. 4k down sampling isn't a must for me. I'll just play at native 1440p if it isn't smooth at 4k. GSync should help in that regard.

So I bought the game and am trying to download it through Social Club, but for some reason my PC won't connect to Social Club. Not through the website, not through the app, nothing. Works fine in my phone browser though. Can anyone help me out?
Bought on Nuveem for $30 and downloading/preloading now. Hopefully my gtx 760 will be able to handle this game decently since I'm holding out another year or so to buy a new graphics card. At the moment I'm playing gta 4 with mods and man does it look awesome, I can't wait to see what modders do with gta 5 on pc.
there's always RTSS Rivatuner for that if R* doesn't include it.
Which you can do - the PC gamer article in the OP shows the screenshot with refresh rate set to 29hz

My GTX 980s are ready.
Bring it on, Rockstar. Bring it ON.

There are always options:
Triple buffering
Borderless window
Forcing the game to render at half your refresh rate (this is an Nvidia option, at least. Not sure about ATI)

Damn, it looks like you need 6GB of VRAM to max things out... Or is it just for 4k?Which you can do - the PC gamer article in the OP shows the screenshot with refresh rate set to 29hz
I hope 2GB are enough for 1080.
Thanks i'll keep that in mind.

I'm rocking a 780m so hopefully my laptop is not too terribly behind yours.

4K is definitely playing a huge part in the VRAM usage, along with adding MSAA X2 on top of that.
UnrealEck
Member
No it doesn't look like that. It looks like the PC they're running the game on has 6GB of VRAM available and just shy of 4GB is being used.
nkarafo

You are probably right, thanks for clearing that out.
How much memory does MSAA usually eat up or does that depend from game to game?
They arent maxing out the settings though.
Maxing out nearly everything with 4k takes about 5GB. EDIT: 5.7GB (however this is with MSAA cranked up whilst at 4k)

Hold the phone!
How do they get 6GB of VRAM with a 980 setup? The cards are all 4GB from most manufacturers. So in SLI, it should recognize only 4GB. Not 6!
So either we're having a sneak peek at the 980Ti that is coming later this year or the client doesn't recognize the VRAM correctly...
Food for thoughts...

So, considering that 4k is almost 4x the pixel density compared to 1080, should i assume that 2GB will be enough for max settings at 1080p?
If not then i will have to settle at 1360x768 with myGTX960.

Quite a bit, MSAA is essentially sampling certain items on the screen at higher resolutions/multiple times then compressing them back down to get rid of jaggies. It's pretty VRAM intensive.
Who said these were 980s? Titans and Titan Blacks have 6gb of VRAM.
