Support NeoGAF

I assume higher population variety will increase the ped/vehicle variety? If so, I definitely want to max that one out.

I just played a tiny bit(just the Prologue) of the PS3 version this morning and despite the framerate, the graphics are still really impressive. I mean, it's got some technically weak aspects obviously, but the overall presentation is just superb from what little I've seen.

Very true. FPS and IQ are harsh, but it is still quite an achievement.

 

[noomi]

My plan is to see what I can do at 1080p for a mostly consistent 60fps, and then maybe see if I can dial things back a bit to hit 1440p/60fps with still reasonable settings.

3570k@4.2Ghz
MSI GTX970
8GB RAM
Windows 7

Still amazed at the number of options and settings.

This is my goal as well, hopefully can max everything out and keep a consistent 60fps at a 1080p resolution.

Is that game ready driver nessesary?

Not really, but usually you get better performance or SLI profiles that scale better with the game.

Will be testing this tomoz

6GB DDR3
Win 7 64bit

nVidia drivers are mostly for Sli or the game in general? i mean, not like there's any downside in updating drivers, but i'm curious.

Both. There can be a performance boost from using game ready drivers, that are usually further improved in subsequent driver releases.

For SLI and for the game in general.

 

[ussjtrunks]

Hoping for 60fps on my 970 @ 1200p

 

[Seanspeed]

I can never get it to work with DX11 titles, but I assume the presence of a "DirectX Version" option means DX9 is supported.

Have no idea how all this shit works. Just hope it does.

Is that game ready driver nessesary?

Not usually, but it's highly recommended.

Drivers will normally bring better performance and the SLI profile. Obviously not needed but everyone should get it once it is out.

I believe those are two different sliders (one for density and one for variety)

 

[Windom Earle]

As long as it fixes the "same car spawn" bug, I am happy. But to be fair, I didn't see the problem much in the PS4 version.

 

[JaseC]

Try Reshade.

Couldn't hurt, I suppose. I tried RadeonPro and SweetFX to no avail, though, so my hopes aren't high, haha.

That's almost my exact rig, except I have the EVGA FTW 970, and 16GB of RAM. Looks like we should be able to share settings and performance!

 

[Audette]

I'll be looking for benchmarks for the GTX 680 2gb...
Right after I bough it, next gen consoles were announced and Vram in GPUs when up up up >.<

 

[noomi]

2k image for a screenshot of some settings. Super.

Changed to 1080p resolution, can drop lower if you'd guys like

 

[supersaw]

Here's hoping all these delays was actually time spent optimising the shit out of it and not just because of some skeleton crew left working on the pc port.

 

[Sevenfold]

My PC is ready.

 

[twisted89]

The AMD drivers linked are 7 months old, might be better to go with beta 15.3

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Some things aren't like the others

 

[unrealist]

I am using Razer 2014 edition with the GTX870m, I hope it will run just fine, I haven't been playing many PC games for a very long time since New Vegas!

What is the desktop equivalent of the GTX870m btw?

Cool, I'll add it to the OP, thanks for the info!

 

[Felix Lighter]

Do we know if there's a benchmark mode? I hate messing around with the settings during actual gameplay. It usually ruins the first half hour of the game for me, since I'm gonna be focused on performance so much.

I especially expect the (beginning of the game spoilers)

Spoiler

intro heist not to be representative of the real game since you're not in the city, and that countryside is probably less demanding. We'll probably have to mess with the settings again once the game *really* starts, and the first gameplay bit in the city is a high speed race, so it's gonna be annoying.

A good benchmark is always great to have. GTA IV's benchmark was terrible. It did not represent the games true performance well at all. You'd feel happy with performance after the benchmark and then find large areas in the game that would cut your framerate in half.

I'm very interested in your performance. I recently replaced my i7 930 build but that CPU was still going pretty strong after all those years.

i7 3770k 3.9ghz with Corsair H100i cooler

No idea how to properly OC my processor. Skimmed through a couple guides, but haven't completely grasped it just yet.

Will update once the game unlocks.

it's 9th of December, not 12th of September.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

looking at the drivers for my AMD7950 and the site says there hasn't been a new driver since the 25/4/2014 i.m sure thats wrong :S

Has AMD stated anything about drivers anyway? Have to wait until next week before I get my GTX 980

 

[spuckthew]

So excited

 

[bro1]

i5 4670k @ 4.2
980 superclock
16 gigs of RAM
1080 p g sync monitor

I want to be able to max it out and have AA out the ass for this

 

[twisted89]

Yes, you're right. American dates!

 

[kudoboi]

would be so hilarious if this turns out to be a bad port

 

[Tigersprite]

i5 4460 @ 3.2ghz
Palit GTX970
12GB RAM
Win 8.1

I'm sure it'll run pretty well, hopefully I'll be able to get a consistent 60fps unlike in DAI but I'll overclock the GPU to achieve that if necessary.

 

[supersaw]

Hope there won't be any of this with social club tomorrow

 

[devonodev]

I'm hoping for 1080p 60fps with fairly high settings, will post how I go.

GTX 770 4GB
i5-4670K 3.40GHz not yet overclocked (GTAV may change this)
8GB RAM

 

[Mitch]

Don't jinx it.

 

[noomi]

3770K @ 4.3GHZ
980 GTX 4GB in SLI
32GB DDR3 1600 RAM

According to the specs I should have no issue maxing everything out. Not really trying to anything higher than a 1080p res, but would very much want to max out and run TXAA

 

[Cizeta-Moroder]

I suppose I'll find out soon enough how this runs but speculating is just too much fun. How reliable are the benchmark scores at Passmark.com? Their ratings seem suspiciously favourable for my laptop, CPU placing near the recommended i5 and even GPU surpassing the minimum required.

CPU single thread performance
Core i5-3470@3.20GHz	1,904
Core i7-2720QM@2.20GHz	1,446
Core2 QuadQ6600@2.40GHz	922

CPU Mark Rating
Core i5-3470@3.20GHz	6,562
Core i7-2720QM@2.20GHz	6,190
Core2 QuadQ6600@2.40GHz	2,993

G3D Mark Rating

Quadro 2000M	1,063
GeForce 9800 GT	727

Wouldn't be surprised, Social Club is like the little brother of GFWL.

The RSC launcher could barely handle the preloads. I'm willing to bet Online will be down on launch hour at the least.

I probably won't be able to completely max the game out with by GTX 970 and slightly OC'd i5-3570k, but I can let go of things like reflection AA.

We can still play the story/single player portion no matter what, right? I'm not really interested in GTA Online.

I'm quite concerned with the load for the day 1 patch, which isn't even out yet. Likely to be how the game is unlocked and is apparently around 50mb. Everyone will have to download that at the same time.

Those who pre-loaded with Social Club will probably be safe, but Steam users will have to cross their fingers and toes that the activation server holds up.

IF, and that's a big IF, they make it work before the weekend i'll be happy.

Its world release and I don't if any of my fellow gaffers went through the PAIN of GTA Online release week in old gen... That was hell.

I would accept being able to only access the singleplayer.

Source for this please? First time I read about it.

If true, god help us.

 

[Tovarisc]

Your CPU is above minimum but below recommended. It should be playable but probably not spectacular.

Reason why I'm not jumping into GTAV on day 1. I don't have big hype for it and don't want risk that my CPU can't handle it. Safest play is to wait reports from people with CPUs close to mine.

 

[Inukage]

Will be testing the following on 4k,
i7 5930k OC @ 4.0GHz
16GB RAM DDR4 1600MHz
SLI 980 GTX

Posting results tomorrow.

 

[CoolS]

Will I be able to play with Steam users if I buy the game elsewhere?

 

[Shari]

WIll I be able to play with Steam users if I buy the game elsewhere?

Yes, steam users go through RSC all the same.

Yes, obviously.

I recommend installing it. Lots of goodness included.

With regards to the Guide, there won't be one at launch, I'm sad to say. Will be working double time to release it this week before the big spike of players this weekend. GeForce Experience Optimal Playable Settings will be available at launch, however, and I recommend using them as a starting point for your configs given the vast number of options and detail levels.

I have the same card, bought it when it came out and this game may make me want to update it...

Nice.

 

[Mercuryvoid]

After a bit tinkering on nVidia website, I found the driver for GTAV, version 350.12. I guess they still aven't updated the main page or the normal search.

The Hype is real, andy any sneak peak on what settings we 970 users should be using ?
