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

[Pighardia]

I think I've settled on fxaa, no msaa, high res shadows on, but all other advanced options off. Seems to be the best mix of performance/quality. I game on a big tv quite a distance away so don't really notice jaggies that much, so fxaa is good enough for me.... Wish I could turn extended distance scaling up though! Texture pop in is quite bad at times.

I forgot how hilarious the game is!

Has anyone managed to get this working via Steam streaming?

 

[leoncuprar]

Having never really played any of the GTA games, if I get this , how long will it take me to actually know roughly what I'm doing so I don't look a total noob when I come online with you other folks?

Oh and will my aging 7870 cope or is this the perfect excuse I've been waiting for ?? <scratches upgrade itch>

How on earth can anyone answer that without knowing anything about how you game?

I started at level 1 this evening when i came on, i was up there with the rest came off at level 8.

Your 7870 is the minimum recommended isn't it? I'm sure it'll play fine just wont be able to ramp everything up.

Not exactly what I meant......

I think he means your in-game style. Do you run around and kill people and cruise with friends or just do missions, get money. That kind of thing.

GTA Online is not very intuitive so it will take some explaining, but you shouldn't worry about being new.

 

[Drollic]

I'm going against the grain... bored within hours, not all that impressed with the visuals and found the online stale - uninstalled and massively over rated.

 

[Drake5]

People on 290's, how do you have your extended distance scaling set

Nope I've actually not had one crash from when I've been playing yet. Only issues I've had so far was online not launching from steam on launch day.
