Getting 55fps average at 1440p max settings, with Gsync it's a massive improvement. The engine is poorly optimised given GTA V is pretty much 60fps solid at 1440p for me, was hoping for 60fps solid but I'll take it over the previous 30fps.

VTR · 8 Oct 2016 at 23:13

Playable now but performance not brilliant. i7 @ 4.5Ghz and 980Ti, 2560x1080 45-50FPS average at the moment.

TriedandTested · 8 Oct 2016 at 23:13

60fps now. Much nicer.

Wonder why such a big patch?

Yeah this is my concern too. I think there is a reason they went with 30 fps lock either:

- animations are locked to 30 as well
- the game isn't optimised well so we will be lucky to see fps close to 60...

Hopefully I am wrong but given how most recent aaa games perform with mediocre graphics, I won't be surprised if we see even 1070's barely touching 60 fps...

Called it

Any way to stop the camera auto panning back when driving? Really bad on the eyes when it keeps moving, especially with it not being the smoothest of games.

Shocking

Doesn't even look this good for the hit on performance... Think am about to give us with this game.

And that is why they locked it to 30 fps

All the sensible gamers did mate. Still, you'll get the same old PC gaming defence league ashamed for you or anyone else voicing an opinion on another broken buggy mess, it's game after game after game at the minute.

Isn't it awesome seeing a £700 GPU only managing 60fps and that's at 1080p peasant res too :eek:

PC gaming an embarrassment right now, console port after console port, PC an afterthought and just sent out the door in whatever state it's in.

Lol at that graph, id be surprised if my 670 card wouldnt get 50+ on high settings (guessing as not bought it yet) as i can get 60fps on medium ish settings and considering mafia 3 gfx are a lot worse i should get 60 on vhq.

Either that graph is balls or mafia 3 is really poorly optimized and is pure console port with no thought of pc users during development, hence the 60fps patch after launch.

Laughable.

Should have just used mafia 2 engine and built on that, least that was decent and looked pretty good.
