Gta 5 choppy on the ps3

its just a lack of fps, it clearly runs at 30 sometimes under that- if your not used to console gaming that can be massively jarring, especially because of the complete lack of AA making objects smooth.

This. Although It's not a huge issue, the game is still enjoyable. I think it will be a much better experience when/if it comes to PC with Mods, iCEnhancer etc.
 
Well returned my PS3 to game this evening to only be told theres nothing wrong with it.

I am now wondering if its something to do with my TV? Or purely just my eyes adjusting.

Also, is there any benefit to upgrading the HDD? I have a 500GB console as it is.
 
Those saying they don't notice the frame rate obviously don't pay enough attention, lol.

Its terrible. Driving is worse. Very choppy. Pretty much always sub 30fps.

Can you make a video and post it up ?
 
A video won't show a fault (unless it's a shockingly obvious framerate dip) and judging by the OP, he didn't exactly come across as convinced there was any issue in the first place.

This is why it was crazy to scream fault, and suggesting throwing money at the thing to 'fix' it was beyond daft. It's nothing to do with the framerate and everything to do with perception. Sure, there's people in here that game at smooth framerates on pc and say GTA runs 'fine' for them... well perhaps that's because they understand from the start that GTA on PS3 is simply not going to run at the same kind of framerate as pc games do, hence the game is no more or less than they expected.

Again, it's all about perception, the same chocolate milkshake can to one person be perfect, and to another the most disgusting thing in the world. What changed? The milkshake? Nope, exactly the same in both situations, what changes is the perception. When you start going past 60 frames a second, then I can see the argument that people are being over sensitive or making an issue for no reason, but when a game runs below 30 almost always and also suffers noticeable drops, it can easily range anywhere from noticeable to extremely jarring, depending on the person.

Best bet here is if at all possible to see the game running on another console and tv, surely one of your mates must have the game as well?

And here we have the problem with using such videos to tell you anything other than raw numbers - the game does not run as smooth as it appears in that video. It's showing you the framerate of the game, but the video itself is running at a fixed framerate, which makes the game appear to be smoother than it is, this is because you are watching a video of the game, not the game. You need to see the game in motion on another tv and console to be able to do a direct comparison to what you see when playing on yours.

I'm still going with this being no more than adjusting to lower framerates than you're used to.
 
LOL @ that frame rate video. It's just someone guessing what they think the frame rate is. Without some internal debug tool to estimate frames rendered per second it's just guess work.
 
The game rarely runs at 30 fps it's normally between 23-30 and that is what you are experiencing most console games are choppy tbh.
 
Yeah just bought it, can't compare it to a PC otherwise you'd be disappointed.

Lacks more FPS & decent textures, but it seems like a good game.

If only it was on the PC.....
 
I haven't touched my PS3 in ages until this came out and when I first played it I thought it looked and played horribly, especially being so used to a high-spec PC. You do eventually get used to it though and it's got a cracking storyline.

No. They're too busy enjoying the game.

I wouldn't say in my experience driving at speed is massively worse than anything else in the game.
 
I'm not sure whether people are more susceptible to noticing or whether mine performs poorly compared to others, but mine does feel choppy at times and can be slow to load assets.

It's something I was expecting though, as it's a launch 60GB machine with the original HDD, and I've felt for a while like the HDD was having a hard time reading and writing with any sort of speed.
 
I bought the Super Slim PS3 and GTA 5 bundle last Friday. Instantly noticed the low FPS but I think that's just because I'm used to a constant 60+ FPS on PC.

The thing that annoyed me the most was the disc seek noise every couple of seconds.

So yesterday I bought the new Xbox 360 E 250GB and Fifa Bundle along with GTA 5. Install disc on hard drive and play disc on flash drive = silent! :D Also seems a little smoother to play.

I much prefer the Xbox 360 controller anyway since I'm used to it from years ago playing COD on Xbox 360 and the few games I play on PC with the controller.

Keeping the PS3 for The Last Of Us and The Uncharted games :)
 
Can't say I have the slightest issue with framerate, and I notice it more than most people. It does drop fairly low from time to time but other than that it's smooth, feels as smooth as Dark Souls did on PC.
