I would guess he means video memory but that wouldnt be a problem using a 1070, that was the 970 which sometimes had that problem.

Is the game loaded onto an SSD? I havent used a HDD in years but maybe they suffer from lag loading large textures i dunno.

What sort of monitor are you using btw?, i assume its not g-sync if your using vsync ingame.

Its on standard hdd, and I got non sync benq xl2411t, maybe i just need to get used to it...
 
smart defrag 5 will target each game you want to stream line and its no cost for that option on their shareware. If you are standard HDD that'll likely help you a bit, GTA loads up large textures off the disk for everybody I think

Here the memory part I was referring to, its also a statisic available for OSD on a few utils I expect but with a 1070 its not likely a problem

Am I looking at the GPU memory clock or memory usage row ?
And its hard for me to believe that HDD throttles game on high fps...surely this must be in the settings somewhere no ? anyone have seen a good guide for the GTA 5 settings ? which bits should be on high and which low and so on ?

I rather have less eye candy and the stable 120 fps without any tearing I guess but also don't feel like playing on low if I shelled 400+ quid for the 1070
 
memory usage.

Depends on the HDD, is it new or old, speedfan will give a SMART readout and model. I doubt it is the hdd as your card would probably cache well ahead but its worth checking if you stutter as disk access peaks

The in game menus will show what you are using

Im stating problems Ive seen in other games, Im not sure on specifics here. Post up your gpu-z while playing like I did, top right corner is screenshot button

I'll drop my settings and turn off gsync and see what it looks like, it wont be a like for like test as i dont have a high hz monitor but i'll see if i still get stutter loading textures from an SSD still.

edit: no stuttering, felt a bit jerky at 4k 120+fps but at 1080p 120 fps+ it felt really smooth, maybe someone with a HDD can drag it over and try it out for ya to see if thats the culprit. Also check your power management settings in nvidia control panel as if i have that set to the recommended "optimal Power" i get aweful lag spikes in GTA, i keep that on max performance and manage my power my self using MSI profiles.

this is the gpu-z just after I finished the game.

My SSD is full, but I have recently checked my hdd and there is no health issues on that...I might try on ssd eventually,

and I have the setting on maximum performance.
 
Good run today with Blud and the guys, No messing around on the final. So much more fun.

Did anybody else get 250K yesterday?

That is a total of 1 Million R* have gifted me since Christmas.... four 250K awards...... Always happy to receive free GTAO dosh... but I am minted.,.. just like real life then... money goes to those with money.
 
haha idd, no idea why they're giving money away. We did another run of pac standard after that m8, and then a humane labs in first person :) makes it really cool doing them in first person so were gonna do them more often to mix things up a bit.

first person can be epic.

Myself, Gamble, Rad and I think Pete did the first person all in order for the award.

I know people don't like it, however it mixes things up, which is good.

We did :) was very strange though lol I only started to get used to it near the end of the heist series!
 
Pretty sure I did it a while ago with Jester and Stark, I remember going to land the jet for the humane labs raid and hearing everyone shout "LANDING GEAR!!!" as I had forgot because I couldn't see it!

Yeah i remember you guys talking about it, me James.jr, chrissie did a few after that and really enjoyed um, didnt do them all for the achi though just did a few random ones.

Should have seen me trying to land my chopper on the beach on humane labs finale, had no idea how far i was off the ground and no idea where the players were since theyre not on radar and i can only see out of the little window in front. I landed then gave it 10 seconds then took off and then someone said im not in yet, i was thinking pff i've gotta do that again.

Made it actually a little bit more challenging and much more enjoyable though. Like Drang says lets get a first person only, no kurumas and no shortcuts run through going some time.

I've just set my graphics back up to ultra again after running on low for a while and it always surprises me how good the game looks.
 
Just did Psc with a random....

What we are doing now is babysitting the random at the back, just in case of a boo boo. It worked well. Full money and no drama.... Avi's mission, another story but we got there.
 
lol, with a random on avis your probably best off getting a chopper and not taking him with ya, then just clearing the island solo, thats what i do with randoms as they die otherwise, it also guarentees avi is following me so i can fly him home after.
