GTA V PC version

[Bhuvsta]

I have an i5 2500k, 8GB of RAM, and 2 AMD 290's. I may have to turn down some of details to attain 60 fps at 4K, but it will probably still look better than the PS4 version.

I believe Rockstar were running it on an top end i7, 32Gb Ram and SLI 980's to get it at 4k60

"I was shown the game in 4K resolution running at 60fps. The PC Rockstar was demoing it on is outside the price range of most consumers, with an i7 5930k@3.50GHz, SLI GTX 980, 32GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, but that’s just to show off how pretty it can look. Rockstar says that even average rigs won’t have a problem getting great 1080p performance out of the game, which is encouraging. "

Well I caved in and am pre-loading it. If anyone is interested (which I doubt) I will report back with my findings.

Do you regret getting 2 x 290's instead of one single top of the range card?

I used to have Crossfire'd 7870's and the microstutter drove me potty. Then I used to wonder why I didn't just buy the best card available at the time.

[Bhuvsta]

I've only had problems with BF4, but that was just as buggy with a single card. I didn't originally plan for crossfire - I bought a single 290 to replace my 560ti. And then I caught the upgrading bug.

I'd always recommend buying the best single card you can afford come upgrade time. Then when you're looking at the next card you can consider SLI/XFire for a cheap upgrade or getting a whole new card. I tend to leapfrog my upgrades (or rather I used to) when one year I'd go CPU/mobo/RAM and carry over the graphics card then the next year upgrade the card. I still have my Core i5 2500k for nearly four years now, upgraded to 8gb from 4 and overclocked it to 4.2GHz. At the time of upgrade I had a GTX460 which got upgraded to a 670 and now a 780 and I've noticed a performance increase every time so see no need to upgrade. I have a mini windfall co,JNG next year so that'll be my DDR4/X99 upgrade.

Anyone else using the GmG code (cheers for that by the way, Oakey!) having any luck with the Rockstar/Social club integrated downloader?

So far the only problem I've faced with the Social Club downloader is poor speed. A lot of people are having issues with duplicate files being downloaded.

Already been reading that!

Did you manage to get your download completed? I figure I'll give this until about 9pm (currently flicking between connection lost, and 12kb/s - with the Rockstar downloader) before I just download the .rar's from Mega.

I started yesterday and have downloaded 45GB. Fortunately no dropped connections, just a wildly fluctuating speed from 6MB/s to 120KB/s.

Mine downloaded with the rockstar deely without any issues. Fingers crossed for you guys.

[Oakey]

The only issue I had was the setup tool wasn't associated with its file extension

[Digby]

I did mine via Steam.Came down quick as a flash a few days ago (pretty much maxed my 100mb).Not the cheapest, I know, just the easiest as I had the Steam window open

New Nvidia driver is out for it, too...

I just used the code: SAVE22-OVERHO-LIDAYS

As the overclockers one didn't work.

[Oakey]

AMD are supposed to be releasing one too, unless it's already out

[boxst]

Mmmm. Although it is downloading at 6.4kb/s (2 days!) on my FTTC line capable of 7mb/s ....

The download finally finished for me. Fingers crossed there is a crossfire supporting update out soon. 1hr 57min and 5sec soon please AMD.
