GTA 5 to look way better on PC.

[futurefields]

ugh.

is this the biggest game ever?

might be...

That what a SSD is for.

Already playing the game.

i got a 1tb ssd, still taking long.

Star Citizen with an estimated final size of 100 GB or more says hello. Frankly I find it funny that people want these highly detailed games and then complain about the file size. You can only cram so much detail into any given file. I look forward to hearing more user feedback on how this game performs before I purchase it though.

Hey everyone: enable Windowed Borderless for easy alt-tabbing and screenshots 🙂
edit: THIS GAME IS WELL OPTIMIZED OMG.

I'm sure we will all have beautiful screenshots for days!

 

[Rhezuss]

Already buggy on my side. Wanted to run the benchmark and got an endless loading black screen...will start again.

Plus, when I ran the first bench looks like the game looped between actual singleplayer game and the bench then I got a "Mission Failed" after a few minutes...

 

[destrekor]

Rockstar's direct update server is getting hammered. Ugh.

Saw reports that running the benchmark before ever starting a new game will load the first mission and then fail it. So FYI, don't start off with the benchmark; start a new game first.

And, honestly, it's like RockStar never released a PC game before. What do you mean I need to start a new game? I LITERALLY ONLY GOT THIS FOR BENCHMARKING. What's the point of all these Titans if I can't show off my results?!

I know you aren't being completely serious, but this launch is near-perfect compared to GTA IV for PC. On day 1 we get SLI/Crossfire support with graphical settings that are for specific AMD or Nvidia cards. GTA IV still doesn't support multi GPU's and multiple levels of Direct X.

We get DX11 and DX10 support for GTA V instead of DX9 only for GTA IV. I am actually getting a smooth 60fps with conservative settings compared to the roller coaster that is GTA IV.

Rockstar's learned their lesson when it comes to PC development. GTAIV was a big wakeup call I think.

Anyway, the game's finished decrypting. Tallyhooooo~

Hey guys, so I DL'd the AMD new drivers that was released today.

I HATE installing the bloated CCC (catalyst control center). I always do the barebones drivers install only.

The only the barebones should still include all the 'GTA 5 optimizations' correct?

 

[cmdrdredd]

For the record, GTA IV was a port and outsourced. GTA V was not.

 

[futurefields]

Man this menu gives me a boner.

Advice for anyone with limited space.

The game decrypts a 2nd set of files when you install, so the preload is about 60gb but you're going to need about 120gb total space in order to install it.

I made the mistake of installing it on an SSD with only about 80Gb of space. This is what I did to move it safely to another drive and I'm now back to decrypting without having to download anything extra.

Make another steam install folder on a drive with space, if you don't already have one. You can install any other game to initiate the folder creation process then just cancel it after. Once you have a steamapps folder on another drive simply copy over (copy, don't move) the 2 folders

/steamapps/downloading
/steamapps/depotcache

rename the original 2 folders to something like

/steamapps/downloading_bak
/steamapps/depotcache_bak

That's just in case anything goes wrong you still have all the files.

Then do "delete game data" in steam. Reinstall to the new drive, it will detect your dl files and continue extracting from where it left off. If everything goes to plan you can go back and delete the 2x _bak folder, you won't need them.

Just like the PS4/Xbox One version, I can't stand the Depth of Field effect. Had to disable it. This game looks fantastic in my opinion.

 

[Zeze]

So my downloading screen is now bugged out and just white.

Apparently it's still downloading at my ISP's max speed.

Should I restart?

I don't care about showing off results, I just want ot be able to have the optimal settings right before firing up this puppy.

Anyways, game look awesome and plays great, smooth launch I say, except for the rubberbanding i'm getting in cutscenes...i'll play with the settings a bit more.

 

[wilds]

can anyone with 6+ core CPU's tell me what their CPU usage is? This game is pretty hard on CPU's with high settings.

edit: Bugs and more bugs.

 

[futurefields]

Any AMD users gotten RadeonPro working with the game?

 

[Oyeve]

Well my antique system plays it well with all the bells and whistles!

I'd be happy to try for you... just give me a copy of the game first and I'll get right on it.

Been playing for 45 minutes so far.

Rudimentary performance report with an i7-4790K and a GTX 980@1080p with latest drivers:

I put all of my settings on *almost* max; save for AA (4x), Reflection AA (2x), and motion blur (don't want too much of that stuff). There's also a separate menu for "advanced graphics" with some kind of enthusiast settings that I decided not to touch.

Performance is good; with Vsync, I'm able to maintain 60FPS maybe 75% of the time, with lots of dips. As a quick fix, I bumped down AA from 4x to 2x, and disabled Nvidia TXAA. Now I'm getting almost a constant buttery-smooth 60fps. (A Nvidia-exclusive feature tanking performance, who would've thunk it? 😛 )

I'm also playing exclusively in first-person camera view. It will feel extremely cramped at first, but fortunately there's a FOV slider. No numerical value is shown underneath the slider, so it's a little vague; but from my rough measurements, max FOV appears to be a perfect 90-degree angle, which is where you should definitely put it. Feels great after that.

I also gotta say, damn, just walking outside of Franklin's house for the first time, and looking around... this is one of the most detailed games I've ever played. Like, ever. Not just in the graphics; but rather, in the amount of effort they put into making a living, breathing city. It feels so real.

 

[Grooveriding]

Holy shit, the view distances in this game are incredible.

 

[futurefields]

Guys I am absolutely gutted that RadeonPro doesnt function with this game.

Does anybody know how to lock to 30fps? with AMD

 

[Rhezuss]

I found my perfect settings which seem to have mostly everything on Very High except for Shadows, Post FX and Particles Quality on High. 1080p, 2x/2x, V-Sync On...

I still feel they put too much "blur" in this game but overall it's a great looking entertainment software 😛

in GTA V, just set vsync to half in graphics.

edit: Not getting a major performance hit with 4x msaa and fxaa enabled.
