GTA 5 to look way better on PC.

[futurefields]

I tested Futurefields setup capping at 30 fps and it really wanst bad at all. I am about to fire up the game with downsampled res and 4x MFAA and 2x aa on the shadows. Game ran surprisingly smoothly on the projector in singleplayer. Will test in a few on the 120 hz gtx 980 setup. I can run maxxed settings at 4k capped at 30 and it only slowed down with the minigun which EVERYONE is having issues so I wonder if the game is just optimised for 30 fps and it actually doesnt look that bad.

The game has a good motion blur implementation that smooths out the 30hz refresh. I couldn't lock the game at 60 with MSAA, and I pretty much demand a locked framerate so 30hz it is. I enjoy the game a lot when it's not patched to a buggy mess.

I just don't understand why somebody would say they "only recommend it on PC", that is ridiculous. There are a lot of good reasons to get the console version of any game. Orders of magnitude more people play those versions. That's just blind pc master race bs.

Because it really is the definitive version not some shoddy sub 30FPS console peasant version. Not that it matters as the single player campaign was shafted in place of the even worse multiplayer social trash.

dude im right there with you on loving the game. Its the only thing I am playing right with my busy schedule. I have witcher sitting there and I cant stop playing this.



Whats your setup FF?


I setup my third HTPC that i moved my old 6950 into and its connected to a cheapo 4k 30hz monitor.

With blur it looks pretty damn good I gotta say.



Try FXAA at 4k downsampled with 2x shadow msaa which is fxaaa once its enabled in CP. Have you tried dropping grass two ticks ? Made the stuttering much better.



MSAA just looks like crap comaritively to me and most reviewers right now. MSAA is plain broken right now and a MAJOR contributor to stutter imo


If your playing online low grass doenst make a lick of difference in immersion and makes certain setups like getting AVI on his island. Much easier to see with less veg there.

I run 4x MSAA because it's the only thing that gets rid of that dithering in the midrange/backround. I can't stand the pixellated look of the dithering. I also run TXAA on top because I hate temporal aliasing, although TXAA doesn't do a very good job its still an improvement to my eye.

Running on highest quality settings except Grass @ Very High and Ambient Occlusion and Tessellation @ High.

Advanced Distance Scaling maxed out and HIgh Resolution streaming turned on. All other advanced options are off.

Wow that first pic is like shards of glass to my eyeballs.

You should enable TXAA to smooth that out a little.

drift tutorial using above techniques.

So I was playing prison break finale with a group of randoms since it was paying double. I was the highest ranked person and was put as pilot. I told the demo that he could attack the prison without worrying about me as my group does that regularly and we beat the entire thing in less than 8 minutes occasionally getting elite.

Well the lowest ranked person says something crazy rude to the host about about 25 percent. I say 20 percent is fair but at double rates I would have been happy with 15.

Well he gives me 20 percent and I say give me 20 seconds while you guys chat about strategy while I fill my water. Well he lowers my pay to 5 percent and they all advance. Little did they know that I was in the same room filling my water and could hear and see them.

I pretend all is good and start heist and evade and things are done demo just flew around like an idiot killing cop cars. they finish inisde and head to the pickup and I land the plane. Noob walks into the proppeler seconds after I told him be careful near the front of the plane.

Redo get to the end and as I am flying towards the beach I ask the leader what the split ended up being and he flat out lied. I said well I was across the room and saw you move my cut down to 5 was that right?


I put down my controller and the plane flies off level towards the deep sea. They are cursing into their mics and typing out shit. Mission failed I exit out after and log off for the night.

Been running into more and more hackers recently.

This past weekend I was driving around on my motorcycle when both tires suddenly popped, causing me to wreck the vehicle. I got in another car nearby after noticing a guy in a karuma chasing me and was then thrown across the map and killed.

Last night a friend and I were chasing another player and would keep killing one another after we would respawn. During one of the gun battles the cop car I was in literally started spewing moneybags from the trunk. We stopped, got out, and ended up picking up 800K in cash...wtf?

Some hackers are good, some a bad....lol.

some hackers play chaotic neutral while some RP pure evil.

I load into invite only sessions and invite friends because of the free roam madness. Just not fun for me either. I love a straight up bounty hunt but someone pressing a buttton and killing an entire lobby is just not fun.

Thank god for that patch yesterday....they fixed what they broke....at least for me

 

[futurefields]

Was there a patch? I didn't see a DL on steam.

What is the version number now?

 

[Chocu1a]

New patch really improved my fps. No stuttering and butter smooth.

393.4 / 1.28

 

[manimal]

seemed better today. I didnt notice the update but it prolly happened on its own or when I rebooted steam in the morning.

So how's the battle going with anyone trying to play the game without having to connect to the net for the Social Club internet check? I know I posted some time ago about changing your PC system date to play without being connected to the web. And it still works in case you're still interested. Except April 19 or 20, 2015 doesn't work anymore at least not for me. I'm using July 5, 2015. And I can play when unplugged from the net. Just make sure you have the 393.4 installed first.

Edit: Well July 5 doesn't work anymore for me, but July 20 does.

What other use is this besides not wanting to be connected to the net to start the game? Well again, it's for if a new update comes out in a few weeks that really borks a lot of stuff in the game. In that case you can keep playing for the day or two it takes people to fix the update. So you avoid having your game messed up like everyone who installs a game breaking patch. When things are back to normal then you can download & install it. I'm not saying any of the patches have been game breaking, but it could happen to some, in the future.

And if you want resume playing without being hooked up the net then find a good date prior to the last patch date. Then change your PC system date to that one before launching the game on Steam. But again after you're done playing be sure to put back today's date on your PC and reboot. And also if changing the PC date will mess up any of your PC programs then don't change the date. It can be tricky.

I haven't played this game in weeks. All the patches killed it for me.

last two patches removed the stuttering for me. Very smooth now.

 

[wilds]

The patches keep breaking mods. I love playing this game with all the great mods! Since they keep breaking, I keep having to reinstall them or try to downgrade my version.

Starting to wish I didn't buy the game... I would love to have the Rockstar launcher not require periodic internet connection checks, especially when an update is pending. Sorry R*, but I am tired of vanilla GTA V.

But all those great mods really helped make GTA V a real visual treat.

 

[futurefields]

I try to play again and it still stutters every few steps. I don't know wtf they did but the game is completely borked for me now. I really hate the state of modern gaming.

i cant consider pc version better, but in 4k maxed out graphics is better
