***Official GTAV PC Thread*** [Important warning updated in the OP]

Does anyone have an issue with the Paparazzo side mission, where you chase the limo trying to get some photos, mine keeps crashing after the second bike turns up.

Glorious PC port this looks pretty nextgen apart from a few low res texures Rockstar really did a good porting job

They did a really good job because they didn't port it.

Hoping for a graphics card benchmark shortly. Thinking of getting a 290 4gb on finance, or an Nvidia GTX 970 is a similar price and would let me keep my 3d vision fun that I rarely use lol.
But wouldn't want to use my money on those without knowing I could play the game well!

With an i5-2500k, 8GB Ram and a GTX 570 1.28GB is this going to run fine at 1920x1080?

 

[Drollic]

about 45% installed on the physical copy after 50 minutes - I need a 500gb SSD.

Just a tip for those people with AMD 5000/6000 cards and Nvidia 400/500 cards.... Turn DirectX down to 10 (it defaults to 11). This made a HUGE difference in performance for me on a 5850.

The grass sort of looks like a lot of dots on my screen; is this a gpu issue or is one of the settings in the game making the quality lower?

Sorry to bump this but would love to get an informed answer.

Who invented the word "port" anyway? How does one "port" a game lol?
It seems like a slang term just meaning a game is on more than one platform or it could be the big red button devs have that says 'press to port game' lol.

theres a grass setting.

it may be effected by post effects and dx level at a guess

Same way people port dx games to open gl

Benchmarks with some older GPUs in 'Normal' settings at 1080p:

Anybody been able to test out SLI performance? I get the same performance with one of my 670's as I do with both

Thank you!

That seems to be showing a 560Ti, which I think a 570 is significantly faster than, getting 52FPS, so seems promising. I can't see anything saying what the CPU is though.

 

[chroniclard]

Will be trying on 2500k and 280X soon as I get home.

alsoo requested Crew invite .....

Loving it so far. The characters are brilliant, it looks fantastic and it is great fun to play. Win.

Latest drivers?

Something wrong there as I've seen others reporting near perfect scaling.

 

[Skeeter]

CPU might slow it down, but that GPU should be fine for 1080p.

Yeah the CPU is what I think is worst, even with an OC .

Its a lot of time and HDD space to invest in discovering I can't play it without spending ££££'s.

 

[bazzabear]

I'm also wondering whether it would be quicker to run down to the local Argos and buy it on DVD than wait for a massive download!

Can you show a screen shot?

There is a difference, GTA IV was ported and hence the reputation the game got on PC and GTA V was built from the ground up for PC.

A game built for consoles doesn't necessarily mean it will work straight off the bat on PC, different architecture. Nowadays with next generation consoles they're practically computers which means bad ports will be a thing of the past (you hope).

Well on my 980's they use the same amount ingame each I only playing 1080p but with all the settings maxed and get a solid 60 fps
