Any advice for smoother mouse support? What's the difference between 'RAW' and 'WINDOWS'

Raw input polls the data directly from the mouse. Windows will take the data from your OS which may add in acceleration, smoothing, or any other problems.
Don't be ashamed. Most people wouldn't deal with it except perhaps switching the drive that the page file resides on when they get a SSD. I only turned it off as an experiment and forgot I did that.
The only real thing to do is make sure there's no page file on your SSD. Default is windows manages it. I think Win 8.1 is even smart enough not to use the page file on an SSD if there is a mechanical drive present. Don't quote me on that though.

At 1080p, I was able to max out all the settings and turn on all the Nvidia-specific stuff and I still had almost a full GB of VRAM left over.
(GTX 770 4GB)
I don't have a 4K monitor, nor do I think my GPU can handle 4K anyway, but I suspect people aiming for 4K are the ones who will have the toughest time working on that VRAM budget.
But, I put in about 3 hours last night, both in Story Mode and Online and I had ZERO slowdowns, ZERO stutter and ZERO freezes. No CTDs or anything.
I'm still in shock at how smoothly the game ran.
I locked mine at 60FPS with V-synch to get rid of some of the tearing, but unlocked I was seeing over 100FPS at times. It's insane with everything going on in the game how this is even possible.
Rockstar are gods, IMO.

To add to this:
Most people won't notice this, but I did: they actually put effort in making separate tiny images for each keyboard and mouse button. See the keyboard settings menu.
They didn't do this in earlier GTA PC versions like IV and San Andreas. There it was just plain text. Just google the respective images.
Of course it wouldn't at all be a problem if it still was plain text, but it shows Rockstar really thought of everything this time.

It is not possible in DX12 either as far as I am aware.
I was able to, yeah. The transition is pretty much seamless. No need to go into any settings and switch which input you want to use.

Not only that, but it remembers the last input method you used.
I was swapping back and forth on-the-fly between Dualshock Controller and KB/M and each time I did, it automatically changed the tooltip icons for either the DS4 or the KB/M.
It's insane! I was jumping to the controller when driving and right back to the KB/M when in 1st person mode for aiming and gunfights and each time the icons would change on the screen when something came up.
Awesome. Man. This is a pretty great port. Might be the best console to PC port so far. Great job Rockstar.

Intel i7 920 at stock speed (2.8ghz)
It's a freaking 5 year old CPU and the game ran smooth like BUTTER on it.

Running good for me with crossfired 7970s at 2560x1440 on the 15.4 betas. 60 fps with the odd dip when on the move. Turned everything up with AMD shadows and FXAA but no MSAA. I left the advanced distance shadows etc alone too.
Xeon X5650 4.4ghz
12gb RAM
2x 7970
Game on SSD
Got a GTX 970 on the way as I was curious to see how 3D vision support was these days. Will see how this fares later in the week.

It does work. It's the aliasing that's wonky. It's really hard to stamp out/reduce and what works seems to vary quite a bit depending on situation.
Here's TXAAx4

Oh. Maybe in that case mine is disabled cause I've got GTA installed on an SSD (figured it would help considering console load times...). I'll double check when I get home...
can you list your settings? I'm not getting near that on a newer rig
I also rock 770 4GB paired with 3570@4.0GHz and having as sweet performance as yours would be sweet.
Ah, unfortunate to hear. :-/
Have you gotten around to improving your situation?
(Haven't yet bought the game so still looking for impressions with 1 GB VRAM GPU's)
What's your other specs? I have a 980 and I'll actually hit 40fps with everything maxed sometimes. Stutters like a bitch too. I'm on a 2500k 4.5. 1080p.
I don't have that problem, but you can test creating a new custom resolution at, 1920x1079 @ 60 hz, for example, and using it in game options. Usually, it's the desktop native resolution that is messed up because how monitor/TV send the compatible resolutions list and how the game order that list.

Im running an i5 3570k gtx 660 2gig vram and 16 gig system ram. any idea what settings would net stable performance yet? Debating getting this for me and s friend today...
When you say can't max you mean the game becomes unplayable and fps tanks ?
Yeah in my video menu it days a total of 24000+ MB available lol
I think max Payne 3 did the same thing

The default detected settings seem pretty good but I think they underestimate systems a little bit, probably to ensure 1080p60. A bunch of you have similar GPUs to mine so see the following for my tweaks to reach a constant 1080p60 in the benchmark tool and, so far, in actual gameplay:

I thought as much. I'm glad that this is confirmed because I was a bit shocked at seeing some of these framerate drops when my GPU didn't seem to be taxed at those moments.
In my opinion, it's a pretty good indicator because it very quickly tries what seems to be every time of day setting and environments with NPCs and cars around with one pretty big explosion.
I'm going to guess that you're having a driver issue and need to do a really clean install, especially if you've just switched from the official release drivers to the beta ones. Completely uninstall them from control panel then scrub your system clean with Display Driver Uninstaller (http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html).

Run it in borderless windowed mode and then lock to 60 with MSI Afterburner?
I hear pausing and resuming helps with speed issues.
I think the game will set a recommended graphics preset in the first run to achieve perfect performance. I bet you will be happy enough with that.
Correct.
That doesn't mean you can store 24GB of different assets, because used/necessary memory in the game bar is multiplied too.
So, a graphic config that shows 1.5GB/2GB in one gpu, will show 3GB/4GB in a 2 way SLI setup or 4.5GB/6GB in Tri-SLI.
Fixes it for like a minute at most. Getting very, very frustrated.

Proper crossfire scaling with my 295x2?! What is this madness! Game is running deliciously great on my hybrid very high and high settings. 120hz at 1440p is mindnumbing for this game, I ended up playing for 9 hours last night.
Can you post at least 1 screenshot?
I have a slightly better GPU with the same amount of VRAM.

This is encouraging. I also have an i7 920, but it's overclocked to 4.0GHz.
How much RAM do you have? I've got 3x2GB in triple-channel. I'm thinking of picking up another 6GB, but I've never run into low memory situations.
GPU usage? Both of my cards in SLI were pegged near 97%-99%.
What is your CPU and clock speed ?

So with the newest nvidia drivers, activating DSR disables my gsync monitor and also disables immediately. Interesting.
Guess I'm not downsampling anything for a while then.

My download was going as low as 50k/sec. Best thing to do is just leave it. There seems to be a lot of fluctuation...must be something related to the way the files are downloaded + unpacked. Don't delete anything from the gta5 directory, as people are saying deleting temporary files speeds up the download.

It seems like people with lower system RAM seem to be getting issues hitting 60. Which is weird because I didn't notice my RAM usage getting higher than 3-4 gigs or so. I also have 24gb of ram though and my game is running smoothly mostly maxed out at 1080p.
Jealous of you guys with Gsync monitors. I can get a fairly reliable 60fps, but not a rock solid 60fps. This is exactly the sort of game that will benefit most from something like Gsync.

Stop scaring me. You running SLI/Crossfire?
Neat, that's one of the best comparisons I've seen to show off the idea of PCSS. Particularly since the shadows of the wires (which are far away) are right next to the character shadows.While I was at it, I took some screens of the shadow softness options, these go PCSS/Softest/Softer/Soft:

I'm at work right now, but here is my system off the top of my head:
-Gigabyte EX58-UDR3 mobo (revision 1, F10 Bios)
-Intel i7 920 2.8ghz CPU (stock speed, no OC)
-12GB DDR3 RAM @ 1333 Triple-Channel Mode (three 4GB sticks of Corsiar RAM; XMB Profile 2 - It's actually UNDERCLOCKED - could achieve 2000 if I had better cooling)
-GeForce 770 GTX 4GB (OC'd edition - 1 card only, no SLI) Running yesterday's driver update (with all setting maxed and features on, I still had almost a GB of VRAM budget available too)
-Samsung EVO SSD 500GB (Load times are almost unnoticeable after you boot up the game - jumping between different characters takes only 6 or 7 seconds if that. Faster if you swap right back again.)
-750Watt Corsair PSU (non-modular: Wires - Wires Everywhere lol)
-On-board RealTek Crappy Azaelia Sound Chip with 3 year old drivers (and yet still getting 7.1 surround on it, go figure)
I'm running at 1080p, all settings maxed (Very High and whatever the highest # is for the AA/AS stuff), all Nvidia-Specific features turned on that I could find and I turned on V-synch to lock it at 60FPS, just to get rid of some screen tearing. I also put the motion blur effect on low because I hate motion blur - gives me a headache, but I had no noticeable frame drops when it was on. It's more of just a personal preference.
I am not shitting you - the game was smooth as butter for me.
Hell, when I got to Michael's house during the Story Mode, I stood next to the pool and just stared at the water graphics for like 5 minutes. The reflections and the swells are so freaking realistic. I had the AA turned on MAX for water/reflection fx too BTW.
Mind - Blown. I don't know what else to say.
So u shouldn't really drop in FPS as long as u have enough VRAM right? I've installed the game on my SSD, so it should be fine.
I'm playing on a poor man's laptop, so I'm trying to get as much FPS as I can. Anyone else playing on crappy hardware here? What would be some good settings to use to maintain a decent FPS while having a good looking game and which settings are a must to avoid? We really need a thread for low-end users. :d
