So, ending buying GTA V on the PC too. I've bought the game four times now....


Do we have a list of usernames/PC PH Crew?

I had similar at first. My system is an AMD FX8350, 16GB of ram and a GTX 770. I was getting frame drops all over the place with v sync on, and without it on the screen tearing was too much to bear. What turned out to be the issue was the game only let me have the refresh rate at 59hz as opposed to 60. I wouldn't have thought this would make such a big difference, but it does. The solution was basically to disable the in game v sync and enable it through the Nvidia control panel instead. By doing this, I got pretty much a solid 60, where previously I was on 59 with frequent drops to below 50. Why it was dropping so much with the in game v sync enabled is still a mystery to me, as apart from switching v sync off,I'm left all other settings unchanged.

not sure about this 59Hz thing, mine shows 60?

It's because Windows rounds 59.9Hz to 60, but GTA calls it 59.

There's a tool to force it to 60.0 somewhere.

You need to scan the thread. Most have put their names up here.

We could do with a nice list if someone can be bothered.

Add me though MK4Slowride

I'd like to put a team of 4 together for heists on a Sunday so can get the achievements.

I'm in for some Heist action! Especially with people who know what is required instead of ballsing everything up as with the heists that I currently seem to be joining!

Send an invite to the PHPC crew and I'll add you, you'll then be able to see who is ready to tool up smile

What is the PC crews name? Searched PHPC but that is over a year old and has a typo in the tagline...

Edit: Nevermind found it! My name is Firewatch

Ok, so I've updated the GTAV players wiki to include PC.

Put PC at the top cause it's the master race wink

Was looking at doing that earlier, then got side tracked fixing some of the formatting that annoyed me.... then forgot to do what I went there for -_-

I noticed you had edited it, did some more edits to the format too so it now looks a little better...

I've been writing a mod, or rather taking someone else's mod and putting my improvements in.

If you've got money left from the start go buy guns, upgrade them and max and the ammo. Can't remember if you can buy explosives at that level. Then at least you'll have stuff to throw around.

I love doing missions so join my invites and we can XP up and unlock the other weapons for you. Plus you'll earn some good dollar.

Stupid delivery times... still waiting for my new GPU to arrive from Novatech.

I've had a couple of goes with the current GT620, it's funny, on the first mission a little cat jumps off a bin in front of Frank which never happened on my PS3 - but otherwise it looks like a PS2 game, it's blocky as all hell.

They promised Friday, see how it goes.

Some things look hideous below 'Very High'. Behold, the reflection options.

They added way more animals in the PS4/Xbox One versions and that's carried over to the PC.

They still look blocky at any setting for me.

Regardless, it's a poor test, as mirror reflections are far and away the worst looking thing in the game, and not even representative of other reflections.

I dunno, I saw some hideous looking reflections in puddles with some settings.
