You do need it, that GTA IV black blocky object/interlacing effect completely ruins the game for me, and for others that have complained about the effects.
As for the rest, I've only lowered to those settings after starting the Trevor missions.
The FPS can be nice in the city, but go into the wild or those areas and they take a massive nosedive! I know because at first I WAS running SP with most things max.

Then I found out how nice good FPS is :D

Maybe my card is just **** but I cant get good FPS with textures on very high, not even texture high-shaders very high as that also becomes almost unplayable..

Yeah soon as i was in the desert with trevor my fps did take a dive to 45fps at the location of the bikers before u chase em but a bit of tinkering and i got 60 back without dropping anything really just applied the adaptive vsync trick and seemed to work and maybe dropping one thing down i cant recall what it was but it was minor. Oh hang on i had msaa on 2x and txaa on, i took those off for the trevor bits thats what gave the boost. Can put em back up now since im back in the city tho. Even tho fxaa on is rather good tbh. But you dont have aa on so dunno how you cant get very high textures on. Ah well, maybe ill post my settings up later and you can try em if you want see how you go with em. Ive adjusted a lot to get the best visuals vs performance so its taken awhile to fine tune.
 
Haha, I made a mockery of these target shooting challenges. Remember them being pretty hard on console with pad but with KB and mouse I golded them all in minutes.

Think they should have made it a bit harder for PC version.
 
Hey Skeeter, thank you very much :)
Running now textures and shaders very high, extended draw distance same though, but it's running great!
Thank you very very much!
Loaded up Trevor in the desert and FPS are great!
 
ive taken some pics and saved them but when i go to my profile and check snapmatic theres nothing there, any ideas what im doing wrong?

No prob. Its just finding the right balance. a lot of trial and error. Luckily most things can be instant switched around cept a few like textures shaders and post fx, shadows aa and water etc can be changed in a few secs and if u have a fps counter u can see if it has any effect and i use steams intergrated fps displayer thingy. Oh and grass that required a restart too which for me high seems good enough, water id do high unless ur fps is good then try very high but high gives a good balance i think.

Yeh I'm using TXAA. MSAA does look better but the performance hit is huge, especially if you're trying to get more than 100 fps @ 2560x1440.
 
Yeah id turn it off especially in the desert with trevor. Tho seem fine more or less in the city. Fxaa can do for the desert areas tho. Strange tho isnt it. msaa and txaa are ok in the city where theres loads of detail and models etc but in the desert it hits hard. Strange..... But again im only vouching for my experiences with 1080p and a 670 card getting 60fps. No guarantees what i say helps with higher res stuff and wanting 100fps.
 
Man this game is turning out to be the worst £20 I've ever spent, second to DayZ... OOOOH amazing graphics, boring repetitive online missions with loading after loading.

:(
 
in the top left hand corner of my screen, i have a small pop up that stays there all the time about vid capture something like ''to save replay press ctrl/''

how do i get rid of this please, as it blocks me seeing any info that comes up there

it is something to do with steam i think

This game has revealed some serious instability with my PC... Even though I managed to pass 2 hours of Prime95 earlier, I barely made 20 minutes without a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR bugcheck. Either my OC is bad or my RAM is dodgy. So I increase my core voltage from 1.260 to 1.265 and the game hard locks my system. Even attempting launch Heaven or Valley hard locked my system after that. Reverting the voltage back didn't even work, so I had no choice but to reset my BIOS. Things actually run again.

Gonna give GTA a spin at stock to see how I get on.

I keep getting locks up when loading missions etc. Having to reboot my pc :mad:
