***Official GTAV PC Thread*** [Important warning updated in the OP]

I'm not really satisfied with the performance on my 970. Maybe I'm being a bit too optimistic of what it can do but running the game at 60fps with dips into 40's at times. Have settings mostly on high with some very high and msaa 2x with 3570k at 4.2ghz

It will probably be more to do with your i5 than you gfx card.

The game is very cpu intensive. I don't get full usage on my 980 even at 1080p, everything maxed, vysnc OFF and with 4xMSAA and i have a 4.5ghz i7

i5 3570k at 4.5ghz is more than enough for the game my cpu never goes past 75 maybe 80% so its more than enough cpu for the game.

 

[Angst]

So crossfire is borked, the game see's i have 6gb vram because of the 2 cards and tries to use all of it.

I've just changed sessions to find I've lost my house! Still got my levels and banked cash but no house.

Doubtful. Seems like Crysis 3 to me. Vastly better performance on an i7 from an i5 (i made the upgrade myself and the difference was huge in Crysis 3!)

oh man this game looks so damn awsome on max settings and it plays superb

ps4 is going on ebay tonight

So my house is back, but all of my cars are gone.

Was getting crashes and running out of memory (memory leaks?) . In-game, it looks great and plays pretty well so far except for a few areas (like one big junction when driving) where FPS drops to 20's. Otherwise it's 60 - 100+ FPS everywhere else. Massive slowdowns in a couple of areas.

What happens with Online play? Is it real world play? So when you go offline, people can steal your cars/raid your house etc?

Yes and leaves a poo on your pillow.

 

[DampCat]

Nah you can control who can use your cars, if people destry them they pay the insurance costs to get them back. Your house is safe unless you invite them, even then combat is disabled inside. When you log off, it all logs off with you.

They can't really do anything when you're offline.

54.9gb into my download!! Oh god i hope i get a chance to play tonight! Its only been downloading for like 15hrs already
Crappy R* download!!

From the sounds of it though, it seems worth the wait

 

[mattyc1977]

What are the best anti aliasing options to use for a gtx970? I know there is msaa 2x4x8x and I know 8x will destroy the card, what are the other options available, I get really confused with aa settings!
Cheers.

You have to half it, it just adds both together, you're just seeing the usage for both cards together, say you use 5/6gb, each card is using 2.5Gb

And this is why I got it on steam

Definitely worth the wait man!

 

[smogsy]

running a 4770k MSI 280x and 8gb of ram @ 144hz pretty much everything on high or very high runs like a dream very well optimised.

Can't help but feel the breaking bad influence on the SP storyline

and lethal weapon 3 i think it is.. ripped a lot from a lot of films tbh but love it for it

edit looked it up lethal weapon 2

exact rip off

 

[enkoda]

Well, I bought the retail version today from the purple "G" store, installed all 7 discs and gone to enter my activation code, except....

...the white box is blank!!

AARRGGHH!!!

This could only happen to me.... *sobs*
