I'm so salty. I decided to redownload the game and go to bed and see if it fixed my crashing on game startup issues. Nope. Still won't run. I think I'm probably going to just ask for a refund at this point. No use in wasting my time if the game doesn't work.

Is there a UI scaling option somewhere? I'd like to have the radar take up a lot less space.

OK thanks gonna look into it.
Multiplayer still clunky as ever but at least can get into some games with other several players so far.

I have to say even though the MSAA isnt usable and textures are at medium on my 670, its nice to play the game with a rock solid 60fps. In the past my experience with GTA games was on consoles and they always struggled to even hold 30; but GTA V (never played the console versions, waited for PC) is absolutely silky smooth.
Never thought I would see the day the game ran at 60fps without a hitch. Granted i haven't got everything maxed so there are some jaggies, everything about the game runs and feels smooth. The vehicles are actually a real joy to drive and feel nicely weighted. Shooting (using 360 pad) feels really nice compared to past games and the game in general seems hugely polished in many respects.
Some shitty textures here and there, a little bit of pop in and AA would work wonders but otherwise this is a really well done game. Given a new cideo card later in the year To get some more AA and draw distance and this would be amazing.
The only other game I can think of that routinely holds 60+ Fps was Alien Isolation, another beautiful looking game thats easy on the hardware. i've seen plenty of games that look rougher that just seem to have inexplicable stutter and slowdown that is distracting and seemingly comes from nowhere. They definitely spent time optimising this one.

Really glad you are having such a great experience with a 670. I upgraded from a 670 to a 970 in March, but its still nice to see the 670 kicking butt. I reckon you are getting a much better experience than the current get consoles especially with the 60fps.
Using a controller or mouse/kb?

Very sad that ultra grass is broken. So much pop-in without it.

What's broken with Ultra grass?
Up to you. Not all the way in my opinion.

Well, it murders fps, even on SLI rigs. Maybe too early to declare it broken though.

Controller. I use a controller for everything except strategy games.
I just find it more comfortable + I often lay in bed and play pc games through my home theatre.

Not interested in the PC version but have a question: will this game be the official PC CPU & GPU benchmark now? Like Crysis back in the day?
This is my gripe, but at least I get more than 60fps like all the time. When I get home from work I'm gonna shove them on high and see how far I get without my GPU going "Nope!" and crashing on me.

I'll back distance scaling to 50% and see if that locks me at 60fps better. I'm not a huge stickler for pop-in in the distance, I made a similar concession with Dying Light and it rarely bothers me.

None of those issues are my issues.

For some reason after the
mission when you drop off Michael, there is a brief cutscene and I was getting like 5 FPS. Weird as I'm usually around 55-60.

Running the game on an old i5-750 @ 2.67Ghz, 8GB memory, and an ATi HD 5850.
I can play at 1080p with high textures and default settings at around 60fps, with a few drops here and there. I won't be going any higher than this.
Overall I'm impressed, runs better than IV did and I can't wait for the mods.

Oh, ok! Is there a big difference between ultra grass and very high?

Anybody having luck with injecting SMAA with SweetFx or ReShade? It works with other dx11 games.
Yea, was only 30fps on consoles. It's a next gen game still.
Well I tried, Sorry!

Is anyone else getting mega pop-in seemingly regardless of settings? Similar to the webm being posted right before release. Everything is great other than that.
Oh well, back to tweaking.

This opinion post is completely unhelpful but I want to join in on the fun.
GTAV isn't running too great on my machine right now. The frame rate is all over the place and it looks kinda weird. Like there is tearing but it isn't the usual V-sync off tearing. Guess it could be microstuttering but if it is, its different than Watchdogs.
I went into settings and the only thing I changed so far was taking it from window to full screen but that didn't change its performance any. It said I was using around 2.3 gigs of video memory. I'm running the game at 1080p
My pc specs.
CPU: i7 3770,
Ram: 12 gigs ddr 3 1600 MHz,
Video card: AMD 7950 3 gigs of ram (I'm using the last official release, I'll try the beta drivers that just came out tonight.)
Windows 8.1.
I'm a little disappointed. With the talk of 60 fps at 4k, I had somewhat high expectations to run at ~60 fps at 1080p. I might be hitting 60 fps but its down sub 30 most of the time. During the initial firefight, I think it was in the sub 20s a few times. Once again, I've not played with the settings (besides trying fullscreen) nor tried the beta drivers. The could make a world of difference.
On the plus side, no crashes.

I've heard a few people mention this as well, does dropping the setting to high help reduce the fps drops? I'll add it to the tips & tricks in the OP.
I'm having the same issue as you. Very frustrating.
Trying to find the cause and was wondering if you have your Documents folder on a different drive (or network drive)?

No everything for this game is on my C: drive SSD
I've done everything from completely redownloading the game to wiping my video card drivers completely and reinstalling. Nothing.

Man, advanced distance scaling looks so good. I really hate the pop-in in this game and it gets rid of most of it. But it is the choice between 30fps and 60fps. But 30fps also allows me maxing out the rest of the settings and 4xMSAA, so I am considering it.
Yes, ultra looks much better, so at least the power is being used.
Very high runs much much better. Still above the PS4 version, but it pops in right in front of you.

Yeah, I do. Very annoying. What card do you have? I have a 7970 here. I haven't tried the beta driver yet, but apparently there's another driver coming out today?

I would say no. Crysis simply crushed machines in it's day. GTAV doesn't have that benefit as the hardware we have today is more than enough to power the game at 60 fps. The issues people are having is trying to push 60 fps or more on 144Mhz monitors on SLI rigs while running ultra settings.
So no, but it's close in my mind.
Search the thread, a few people have offered their verdict on the 770, only a few mention having the 4GB variant. When I get home from work in five hours I can offer mine too.

Played for about five hours today and only had one crash which I could not reproduce. Performance wise it's been above 50fps the entire time and it dipped to 45 when I go up a big hill and looked over the city. Very pleased with the performance!

Such a stupid issue. Its just the Social Club launcher that is giving problems. Just let us bypass that crap so we can at least play the game.

Weird though, cause I thought downsampling was the ultimate AA solution. The most costly, yes. But at the same time the best method of AA available.
Hmm interesting. Have you tried 1440p and TXAA instead of FXAA? Or MSAA x2 at 1440p
Speaking of TXAA: is that a replacement for MSAA? Or is it more like a FXAA alternative?

Just to be sure, you are not trying to run nonsteam version through steam, right?
The game crashes on startup when I tried that.
Starting from start menu shortcut game works perfectly.

I'm just going to contact Rockstar and demand a refund. There's just nothing that makes me want to enjoy this game now. They've have more than enough time to make sure the game would work when it launches. I shouldn't have to try a million fixes for a game when I've never had issues like this before.
I mean it's not like I don't know what I'm doing. I work in the tech industry.
Nah I have the Rockstar Club version. No Steam.

its the ultimate solution with high enough levels and infinite performance.
txaa is a far better implementation of msaa when it works, but it doesnt work properly in this title.

I have social club version too, just added its shortcut to Steam like I do with all my games, but for some reason the social club doesn't like it.

Are you using the beta drivers? My 7950 is on the same bus but I'm still on the official drivers. I'll try the beta drivers tonight when I get home.
Posts like these are perplexing. I could never compromise native resolution for FPS.

Any idea on how it would run on a Radeon 7970M? The rest of the hardware is enough, but I got my doubts on the GPU there. The talks on how it performs well are tempting me so.
