Why will it be better?

I have both and found no benefit to using the controller.

Driving is better with the controller purely because with a keyboard you only have an on/off state. So you only have one level of acceleration, one turning speed.

With a controller, you can slowly pull away (and on GTA V currently on consoles, it even makes the controller rumble a little, simulating the clutch biting point). And in some of the higher-end cars it is very important to not pull away at max throttle as you'll just spin the tail out.

You can also make slow turns, and it just feels more natural.

Yep, controller is so much better for this.

GTA V gets around the issue of aiming from the window by having a 'slo-mo' button.

Though I think that might just be one specific character (can't remember)

The cars handled slightly more 'realistic' in GTA IV IMO, but you get used to GTA V quickly and the controls in general are just so much better than GTA IV. Shooting, taking cover etc is much more fun.



With regard to GTA IV, I recently installed it and ran FRAPS on the following settings:

1080p
Texture Quality: High
Reflection Resolution: Very High
Water Quality: Very High
Shadow Quality: High
Night Shadows: High
Texture Filter Quality: Antisotropic x16
View Distance: 100
Detail Distance: 100
Vehicle Density: 21
Definition: On
V-sync: Off

And the most I got was 39fps on the following spec:

Intel i7 4770k @ 4.5Ghz
8GB Ram
AMD R9 290x 4GB
Samsung Evo SSD
Windows 8.1

I played about with all the settings, and the only one that seemed to (slightly) affect the framerate was the shadows. Even on very low it only pushed it up to about 45fps though.

I've seen people with lower specs say it runs great at 60fps+ though?!

Also tried at 1440p and that lowered the framerate to 33fps.
 
Thats strange, when i ran it the other week with all the texture mods and the thingby m bob, enb thing, it was smooth as butter. Havent played it since ill run it tonight and take an fps reading. Only thing i dont like about the enb is the water, its like a mirror, where can i download better presets ?
 
Yeah i had to do that, really ticked me off, that and the gfwl setup which was aweful was probably the reason i only tried it for a few minutes.
 
Wish they would hurry up! I'm waiting to see what gfx card it'll need to run it maxed. Tempted to just go for a 780 while they are being sold off cheap, hopefully that should be fine at 1080p...

I played GTA IV perfectly on KB and mouse, only thing that was annoying were heli controls. Aiming was much easer because of all the acceleration.

+1

after failing the final mission many times trying to fly the heli with kb&m, i finally ragequit, drove out and bought a 360 controller, went home and finished the final mission :)

Any official statement would do me right now, I hate rockstar for being so precious over PC releases.

I guess it might be released along side the 'next generation' versions too.

As I've read and heard (can not remember where) but the reason that the release dates are taking such a long time to nail down is because of the xbox720p (:p) sorry.

The PC release has been a long term project as I've read/heard :).

I tried to play it at 1080p on my Q6700 and it was so poor that I uninstalled it, the game seems to need stupid amounts of CPU power, try lowering the draw distance / details.
 
Its the shadows, disable em. You still have basic shadows and performance is a lot better without em as i think they were bugged and never really fixed.

Saying that tho i duno if it was just very high shadows or most shadow settings. I personally just turned em off as the game still looks good without em on.
