GTA V PC version

I reckon you could have got more stuff on that

It has some degree of proper physics, so if you spawn the Titan (Hercules) on top, the cargo plane refuses to budge.

You can also land the Hydra on the top of a blimp and then hijack the blimp, although the Hydra falls off very easily.

Has anyone used the new nvidia drivers. I can now run the game fully maxed out and it doesn't dip below 29fps. Ususal lowest is about 35fps. Before is used to drop to 11fps. This is with a single Gtx 970 on an intel i5 running at 4.3ghz with 16gb ram.

I highly recommend the drivere as it makes the game run so much better

That's the one - I'll keep an eye on it for any issues. I run it at 1650x900 or something around that (can't remember as my pc's off and has an old 16:10 screen). I agree it uses a lot of vram. Even a 4gb card gets pushed at max settings 6gb plus would be ideal but my motherboard doesn't support sli..

Edit - running at 1680x1050

The game sees each card individually and adds the VRAM.

It's a bug, GTAIV did the same

[petrolsniffer]

It seems you can run at 1080p on very modest hardware

Tempted to buy I had it on 360 when I had a 360 so abit grudged paying twice but meh my steam friends list is literally GTA5 Atm and I don't think i'll miss out on the fun much longer.

After a weekend of mostly crashing or disconnecting mid heist, disconnecting and then being taken to the single player game, bugged objectives that would not let you complete the heist and then crashing once we restart, I realised I will vote for whatever political party that promises to make publishers responsible for the product they release and enforce a refund policy or give ofcom the powers to fine them...

I've had a lot of crashed, which always happened after getting in a car and trying to shoot a gun/rifle if you've just used a throwable object.

I could shoot from cars fine without problems, but if i was to throw a grenade, and then get in a car the game would crash as soon as i pressed the aim button from the car.

Read online a lot of other people had the same issue, which was fixed by turning the landing page to 'on' in the settings menu (so it goes to main menu when started up and you have to click on single player/online instead of being loaded straight into the game). Have now been playing a week without crashes so it seems to have resolved.

I am a bit new to this, but thinking about building a PC and I'd like to play this at 1080p 60fps.

This video suggests that a £350 PC can do that, but a few posts up in this thread, someone is only getting 35 fps using a GTX 970 graphics card that cost almost that much on it's own!

I am more constrained by size and noise than budget and am thinking of putting together a mini ITX system with an I7-4790K/16GB RAM and either a GTX 970 or GTX 980.

Will this run the game at 1080p 60 fps?

i5, 12gb ram and a gtx 970, 1440p (plus a 1080p monitor showing my desktop) full setting with mild AA and vsync off, ultra textures etc. no FPS issues whatsoever.

Over the weekend, we had problems with lag, and crew members (only 4 of us) dropping out, heists not syncing up. The heist leader who invited us was on a fast fiber connection but was lagging everywhere, however connection was fine for everything else; skype, downloads, speedtest, pings, etc. We re-tried a number of times but it was always the same, we couldn't all play together.

Then as a last chance we restarted GTA and another crew member created a new online session (invite only) and invited the rest of us. This time it was near perfect for everyone, including the heist leader. Most strange.

If you enable everything to the max it will kill performance, specifically maxing out the things on the advance graphics menu and enabling max (8x) MSAA. You have to remember that the new consoles (XBONE and PS4) only run this at 30fps, and from my brief experience of PS3 GTA5 that seemed more like 20fps. Also you get into deminishing returns regarding performance the higher you push the graphical fidelity.

A 970 or 980 will easily be able to sustain 60fps @1080p, providing you have a half decent CPU (intel i5 from the last few years, or maybe an 8 core AMD?) and at least 8GB system RAM. You might not be able to put everything to max but it will still look very, very good.

I've left all my settings as they came, or as Rockstar/ Raptor detected my system, and my framerate varies between high 50s an high 90s, as displayed by MSI Afterburner.

The setttings are mostly high, some ultra and one or two things normal. Most sliders are near the top, and FXAA Quality (or somthing like that) is maxed out. I use FXAA, not MSAA. I'm running at 1200p on a 16:10 monitor, so a little more demanding than 1080p.

My system is: i7-3770K@4.6GHz (never goes above 70% CPU usage), AMD 7970 (3 year old video card, same GPU as the R9 280X) , Windows 8.1

i5, 12gb ram and a gtx 970, 1440p (plus a 1080p monitor showing my desktop) full setting with mild AA and vsync off, ultra textures etc. no FPS issues whatsoever.

Likewise I was surprised how well it runs on fairly modest system. Mine is an AMD fx-8350 (4ghz), with 8gb ram, and a second-hand Sapphire R9 290 (not the 290x).

I run everything at 1080p with all textures etc maxed out, most of the advanced settings at high (a couple at highest) and MSAA set at x2. This gives me an average of 65-70 fps.

Maxing everything and turning the MSAA all the way up to x8 drops the FPS to around 55 fps average with lows of 45 when a ton of stuff is happening. Whilst it is still more than playable at these settings I just don't see enough extra eye candy to justify it, so I stick to the 60-70fps settings.

Oh and the latest ati drivers with GTA V optimization has gained me another 5 or so FPS across all settings.

I worked to a max budget of £400 when I put the components together, hence the second hand gfx card, but admittedly already had the case, power supply, and peripherals. I wanted a fast system that would not require water-cooling and this has exceeded my expectations considerably!

Ha ha, brilliant.

In fairness I've taken rougher cab rides at 4am in Cardiff.

Depends where you can compromise I mean I personally don't mind jaggys in most games so I don't turn on any AA so gain a good boost

Either way it seems from the vid you can atleast get the graphics on par with the ps4 but with 60fps and even better if you're willing to play at 30

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZR-a35sxLg heres the video when they built the 'potato masher' with benchmarks on other titles if you put the time in you can easily find parts second hand or cashback deals to get build costs down.

I'm running two 970's now in SLi and despite still getting decent 70+ frame rates with it all maxed at 1920x1080, I still find the odd dip annoying at specific points at certain locations etc so I have settled for x4 fsaa and lowered the shadow and scaling in the advanced options.

The good thing about the game is that you can gain some serious FPS by lowering a few settings and things really don't look much different.

What is nice, however, is running via HDMi to a 42" 1080 TV, enabling vsync and playing it on a big screen with it locked at 60fps with not so much as a single drop in frames.I prefer vsync on on my regular monitor also, but it's a 3D screen running 120hz so the frames can hit 100+ on that.

[GrumpyTwig]

One day I'll get to finish a mission/heist. 5 attempts at jobs this evening, every single one people left mid way through wasting everyones time.

The last one was going ok until rockstar services went down mid way through...

I have a similiar system to you (i7-3770K @ 4.5 and GTX 780 SLI @ 1111/1657) and using the latest 350.12 drivers @ 1440p I get: Frames: 43442 - Time: 527190ms - Avg: 82.403 - Min: 47 - Max: 158 (taken mostly in the city, but I haven't noticed any frame drops in the countryside) with these settings:
