GTA 5 to look way better on PC.

[Oyeve]

My current PC:
Quad core q9500 (S775)
8GB ram,
1TB ssd
4GB R290 ATI card.
Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

So, my PC is gonna be a good test platform. BTW, i'll be playing on a 50" HDTV.

Nvidia released a new driver for GTAV that has SLI support.

What resolution ?

 

[PrincessFrosty]

Preloading at 14.9MB/sec, 59Gb in an estimated 1 hour 11 mins.

Thank you virgin media 152Mbit internet

Aw hell, I went ahead and picked it up. I only buy a couple full price AAA titles per year anyway.

Even at 12 MB/s, it is going to take me an hour and a half to download.

I've avoided all the console coverage and this thread so I'm going into this completely blind.

Aye it launches 1am UK time so I'll probably give it 1-2 hours and then quickly report back. I'll probably give it an hour or so on my 2560x1600 30" and then I'll give it an hour or so on the sofa with my 125" projector and a control pad. I'll report back quickly before bed with any bugs, what the frame rate is like etc.

Just installed the game ready Nvidia drivers as well, thanks for whoever mentioned that.

Specs in sig.

 

[Dankk]

a few hours?

i would fire you so fast if you were my employee

What's wrong with using PTO?

Downloading at 3.3 MB\s, so I'll have it sometime next week. Stupid AT&T Uverse.

I'll be playing on an i7 with a certain amount of RAM (I don't remember) and a GTX 780ti on an Asus Swift at whatever resolution this thing is. I'll let you guys know how many prostitutes I murder.

What, while you're waiting for the game to download?

You don't think that maybe your cpu is bottlenecking you?

We'll see. I don't expect 60fps at 1080p,30 will do just fine.

 

[DeadFred]

Just opened my desktop Play GTAV exe. and the countdown timer tells me it will be availbale at 7:00PM EST. instead of 7:30.

 

[Eric1987]

It's been 7 not 7:30....

 

[Chocu1a]

23 minutes to go.....

I have rarely bought a AAA title on launch day. I think just Diablo 3 in my life. And that game was a terrible disappointment.

But I caved in and bought it for $29~ USD via a slickdeals FP deal just now.

Now downloading the 60 gig client at 7 MB/sec... 2 hours and 30 minutes remaining.

Looks like I can start playing around 9:30pm EST. This should be fine after dinner with the wife. Maybe I'll put some sleeping pills in her food.

I'm hoping my budget rig can run it well at med/high settings 1080p (i3-2120, HD6870, 8 gigs ram).

 

[Baasha]

Going to be streaming GTA V on the Uber Rig (@ 5K + 4x GTX TITAN X) here: GTA V

 

[wilds]

Will be seeing how my desktop and laptop play this game. I'm interested to see how the GT 650m and an underclocked i7-3720qm at 1080p will perform. If it can do 1080p at 30fps, I will be amazed.

I expect that my desktop can play this game just fine though.

Edit: Drivers updated
Edit 2: This game may be frustrating for some Windows users...

Preload finished just now with 9 mins to go. Started it at 10:12, seriously impressed with steam and ISP speed on this one.

Is everyone prepared?

 

[skipsneeky2]

So ready for this! Haven't been this excited about a game since BF4 Beta.:thumbsup:

 

[Chocu1a]

 

[mazeroth]

GO!

 

[Oyeve]

Not running!

I'll give it a min.

 

[cbrunny]

I have a countdown timer. Minute and a half. No idea what is happening.

A patch? I guess? Or for some reason pre-load didn't finish downloading it. pretty big. Almost 200 mb so far.

Ok, now pre-allocating. Isn't that what pre-loading does? I don't understand.. I don't really care about a few minutes extra just don't understand. haha
