Did you have Twitch running in the background, or any shockwave pages running? I was getting the same until I killed Twitch, after that it was smooth as silk.

Second screen? I have almost the same setup and had stutter until I unplugged the second monitor!
In fact, your setup is almost identical! The only difference is I have 2 x 7970s instead
Hi, getting abit jealous reading about playing it
im thinking of buying it but really wanna be running it at high settings smooth to enjoy it
my PC spec is
AMD 8350 @ 4.4ghz
8GB 1866mhz ddr 3
MSI 290 Gaming Edition @1000mhz gpu - 1300mhz memory
running a 1080p 27inch 60hz monitor
by looking at the benchmarks the 290 does well, i would be happy with 60fps, but i know my cpu is a let down, and with skylake coming pretty soon, think would be waste now buying Intel I7 cpu,
what you guyz reckon ?
Thanks
I'd say near enough everything max, aside from MSAA should be good around 60fps.
Tell me about it. I thought it was simply because my SSD was too bad or something :S
Just had my first hour or so on this. Plays very well. All maxed (apart from notching the distance and shadow scaling down a couple of notches in advanced settings as this gained a good few fps) at 1080p) with 4xMSAA and get pretty much 60fps with vsync ,all of the time (on a 4.5ghz 3770k and a 980 gtx).
Seems to be very CPU intensive though. Even without vsync my gpu usage never hits 100%. Mostly 70-80%.
Had to turn mouse input from raw to direct though otherwise it just felt like a stuttery mess. Weird. Super smooth with direct input.

No Worries,
I had the exact same issue, bought the special carbine and kitted it out with everything purchasable, couldn't scope properly so had a quick look in the key bindings
It's fairly slow for everyone tbh, having an SSD will speed up load times and reduce pop in when a new player comes into your area, especially if they're moving fast.
I noticed a few people "appear" near me last night but they were on TS so I knew they were in the area, there was a flutter of HDD activity as they appeared, possibly unconnected but personally I think an SSD is essential these days regardless.

Btw does anyone know how to take screenshots on the Rockstar version of the game? i.e non steam version. PrtScrn doesn't seem to do anything and I've looked for screendumps in all the typical locations C:\Users and the game dir itself but no luck.
Not a fan of using programs like FRAPS but may have to as I am currently dropping to windowed mode (alt+enter), pressing prntscrn and pasting into paint.net before going back to full screen again. Also - can anyone recommend a half decent mic because I have no idea and I want to insult Halfmad.

there's a first person FOV setting in the options as well most people likely missed since there's so many options

There's also a fov mod to remove the limit now.

I am, I have everything switched on/max apart from FXAA and TXAA as I'm using MSAA at 8x and have blur and depth of field off/lowest setting as I hate those effects.

Smooth like Butta
Bought the game on steam
Running smooth as Butta on my new machine i bought from OCUK !
i updated Nvidia driver, but i found out each time i update it disables my SLI
Went into the game and it was only detecting 4gb VRam so turned SLI back on and i had 8GB VRam to play with. oh baby gota love the 980 SLI setup.
ive cranked everything to very high settings. and refresh rate to 144hz
running great on the ASUS ROG Switft 27" G-Sync.
the corsair Hydro fans are running like a jet engine to be fair LOL
MAXIMUM POWER !

I'm not sure I like starting single player with so much money.. Shame you can't disable it. I like to feel like i've progressed and not just handed it on a plate

Yeah and I don't think it changes the FOV in vehicles either, which my opinion need the biggest increase; feel way to zoomed in.
That being said though, there will probably be an update soon. Liking that there is already "mods" being put out (even though this is a simple number change most likely). I've heard that people have already got cheats working in MP.
