GTA V

ADT · 8 Apr 2015 at 17:25

My rig is light years old, still don't know whether to bother buying this or not

Don't want to buy it just so it can run looking like a dog

"Machines at minimum spec are expected to handle GTA V at 800x600 and 20 to 30 frames-per-second - while recommended spec systems should manage 1080p and meet 60fps on medium settings."

Medium settings most likely being PS4/XBO equivalent, but at 60fps.

I doubt ill be running maxed @1080p then.

It's been done before.

Before pc's went to dvd's, they started to get silly with 6 cd games. I have a boxed Druuna: Morbis Gravis... once you open that dvd case with six disks and the oversized manual... you ain't closing it again

Tough ask though, 60 gigs in this day and age, with bandwith caps/limits, ropey service in many areas, more so stateside. You'd like to think there was some discussion at rockstar looking at a bluray release. Remember it being a big thing when metalgear 2 first did it.

Feeling more confident about 1440p and 60 FPS, would like to see more coverage of 1080p and 1440p. Only a handful of people are going to be gaming at 4K - notwithstanding your average OcUK gamer

.

Edit - misread that, didn't see "medium settings".

Taking advantage of the 4K support will be a different matter: you’ll need an AMD HD 7870 or NVidia GTX 760 with 2GB of VRAM, at least, to reach 30fps

My 770 might just manage something half decent

I'd be OK with that, 60fps is the biggest seller for me.

How any people have bluray drives in their PC?

LukieBoy007 · 8 Apr 2015 at 17:52

Yep I'll be going for 1440p 60fps, and with a i5 3570k and 280x, think I'll be looking at a mix of medium/high. For me now, FPS > Details.

Looks like Amd will have a working crossfire profile based on what AMDMatt said in the driver thread. Hoping for pretty high settings @1440p.

cainer · 8 Apr 2015 at 17:56

1080p / i7 920 @ 3.6g / 7950 @ 1100 core, fingers crossed i dont need to upgrade anything

Thread is moving quite quickly. Those who are saying their key can be imported to Rockstar Social Club, does this also mean Steam?

Reaper 392 · 8 Apr 2015 at 18:08

The recommended specs being suitable for medium/60FPS/1080p as well as all those options gives me hope that this will perform decently on PC, but has anyone released any actual benchmarks yet?

Think it's about time PC moved to BR. That's almost as bad as the Amiga days, having to replace floppy discs while loading the game.

Not a chance, less people have optical drives in their computers now than they did 8 years ago. Also way more digital downloads sell on PC now compare to retail discs be sold.....if the game ever comes out on retail.

Good luck to anyone buying this on retail version. Max Payne 3 came on 4 dual layer DVD's and took nearly 2 hours to install. Hate to think how long 7 discs would take.

cainer · 8 Apr 2015 at 18:12

why is the refresh rate only 29hz in that screenie above? as Vsync is ON wouldnt that limit fps to 29 also?
it shows the gfx card has 6gb of Vram so it must be a Nvidia card?? 780 or Titan i guess

GTO656 · 8 Apr 2015 at 18:12

Well I hope my new rig tht is coming tomo consisting of i5 4690k,R9 290 4GB wud be able to run it at medium at least, since I know my old rig amd phenom x4 X955 and HD68700 1gb won't be do too well :S.

Lack of fov setting is a bit of a bummer if the leaks are true.

A 7870 can play it at 60 fps on medium at 1080p! Blimey.

My 980 should have a walk in the park at 1080p then.

Why? Recommend specs are a 7870.
