Quite a bit, MSAA is essentially sampling certain items on the screen at higher resolutions/multiple times then compressing them back down to get rid of jaggies. It's pretty VRAM intensive.



Who said these were 980s? Titans and Titan Blacks have 6gb of VRAM.

PC Gamer article stated that the setup was 2 x 980s.

IGN's article didn't mention anything. That's the info we have right now. The Titans could be an option though, you are right

Interesting; it's possible the screenshots came from a different rig than the one mentioned. That said, I think 980 Ti/whatever they decide to call the consumer-grade Titan X is likely to have 6gb of VRAM.

My 980s and their 4gb of VRAM weep just thinking about it.

Is there a embargo on PC version reivews/impressions etc or are we just going in blind next week?

Eh, your option of Titan Blacks makes more sense though, considering the performance difference, they could have had a few rigs with Titans instead of all the rigs with 980s

Yah. This game might make me move to 2x Titan Xs and a 4k monitor. Seems like the way to go for 4K gaming this year.

That said, I just hope it has good SLi support from the start.

I would'nt drop 2 large on 2 graphics card that are likely to be replaced pretty soon by 980Ti with very close performance, but hey, that's me My 970 and GSync monitor should keep me comfortable for a while.

 

[Starsunder]

My 4790, 2x 980s, and 32gb of ram are fucking ready.

Gonna be awesome.

Eh, it'll all depend on how much VRAM the consumer version gets. 8gb would make it OK for current and future 4K, and means people can save ~$600 on two.

6gb VRAM and it'll be cutting it way too close for comfort on 4K games (with reports of GTA V using up to 5gb in 4K).

We'll see. No moves to be made until later this year.

People still worry about VRAM usage in games?

 

[deeptech]

People still worry about VRAM usage in games?

Yea, well.. Few of us do own a 970, lol

 

[finalflame]

People still worry about VRAM usage in games?

Well...it's easy not to worry when you have 12gb of VRAM

 

[Mad1723]

People still worry about VRAM usage in games?

Easy for you to say

 

[UnrealEck]

PC Gamer article stated that the setup was 2 x 980s.

The screenshots in question are probably taken running on their Large Pixel Collider which has GTX Titans (Blacks I think) in it.

If I had spent 2 Gs on my graphics card(s), I would hope that I wouldn't have to worry about such things.

 

[demented waffle]

Wondering how far I can turn the settings up on a 4770k and 290x locked at 30.

Resolution?

1080p: probably pretty close to/max with some AA and 16xAF.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Looks like I need this.

 

[ValfarHL]

How does GTA PC play with a mouse/kb? This will be my first time playing a GTA on PC.

The graphics options look excellent. Can't wait to see how this looks close to maxed with my 970. We'll see how my 2500k @ 4.0 ghz does, I'll OC further if need be.

Go for it. Almost all 2500k's reach 4.5Ghz with a good air cooler.

On point: I bought this for both ps3 and ps4, but finished neither. I don't think open world games are for me. :/ No matter, will probably buy this one too..

 

[PhantomZone]

Looking forward to it, I expect to be as wowed as I was when I went from the 360 version of GTA IV to the pc version some years later (and noticing the difference,in the frame rate not to mention how cleaner the graphics were). I havn't played V since October/November 2013 (stopped not long after completing the story missions and then playing the stock market).

 

[demented waffle]

Resolution?

1080p: probably pretty close to/max with some AA and 16xAF.

Oops sorry, probably the most important part. Was gonna try for 3200x1800 downsampling. So a lot of AA won't be that important, so I was thinking FXAA for that.

ok sry love you all lol

 

[DeSo]

Waited since its first release on 360/PS3 for the PC version. My 970 should make it look pretty nice at 1080p. Pumped.

Yah, you might have to give up some AA and a few of the fancier shadows/details to pull off that res, even at 30. But of course this will all depend on how well optimized the game is and any relevant driver releases from the likes of AMD/nVidia.

 

[jim2point0]

Which you can do - the PC gamer article in the OP shows the screenshot with refresh rate set to 29hz

Pretty sure the 29hz you're seeing there is a limit of whatever 4K monitor they're using. That is not a way to lock the frame rate.

 

[UnrealEck]

ok sry love you all lol

My comment had nothing to do with yours, but thanks anyway. You can make it up by giving me one of your Titan X when you innevitably upgrade to the next Titan.

 

[Dinjoralo]

You crazy people need to pick a thread already.

Spoiler

/s

I like the extensive options, though I don't think they're indicative of a well-performing port. Just look at GTA IV, or several Ubisoft games.

 

[Corpekata]

Pretty sure the 29hz you're seeing there is a limit of whatever 4K monitor they're using. That is not a way to lock the frame rate.

There's no reason to have a separate refresh rate section if it is not going to allow you to cap it.

 

[CarbonFire]

ok sry love you all lol

Just save the bragging for the PC screenshot thread where you melt our faces with more 4k GTA awesomeness *thumbs up*

 

[Foxyone]

Is the tessellation just for terrain, or would it apply to character models too?

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

So what kind of system is needed for max settings at 1080P?

 

[Dinjoralo]

I'm thinking it's for things like random clutter in the world, and possibly character models.

 

[bananafactory]

So what kind of system is needed for max settings at 1080P?

I would like to know this as well, guessing we'll have to wait until the game is out.

I accept I can't run it at 4K but would like to run it at or close to max at 1080p

 

[jim2point0]

There's no reason to have a separate refresh rate section if it is not going to allow you to cap it.

Tons of games display the refresh rate in the options. It cycles through all the refresh rates your monitor currently has available. When you change it, it updates the resolution option with the available resolutions in that specific refresh rate. It's the same as changing the aspect ratio.

Far Cry 4 does this, for example. It's not an FPS cap. That's usually labeled as "FPS cap."

 

[Nzyme32]

Pretty sure the 29hz you're seeing there is a limit of whatever 4K monitor they're using. That is not a way to lock the frame rate.

You set the refresh rate, then set vsync on or off. A similar thing is done in ground zeros

 

[Bornstellar]

No fov spider? Fail.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

No fov spider? Fail.

There's a fov slider outside of graphics options.

Not sure about any spiders though. Check your PC case.

 

[jim2point0]

No fov spider? Fail.

Tons have people already pointed out that it's in the attic with the rest of the spiders.

 

[Afro]

No fov spider? Fail.

what is this? sounds scary.

 

[WarpathDC]

Hmmm 42 dollar trade in for the ps4 version at BB and 48 for the pc version with 10 dollars in rz points back. (all with gcu). *drives to best buy now*

Got my 970 yesterday. Can't wait to fill up my 4* gb of vram on this bad boy

 

[dreamfall]

Bahaha

 

[bananafactory]

No fov spider? Fail.

playable spiders confirmed

 

[Nyteshade517]

No fov spider? Fail.

well the FoV slider was in the "Controls" settings on PS4/XB1

no idea where the spiders are...but now I'll have to keep an eye out for them

 

[demented waffle]

Resolution?

1080p: probably pretty close to/max with some AA and 16xAF.

Although, I'm not asking like anybody knows, it's more than me thinking to myself. Hehe.

 

[Tainted]

No fov spider? Fail.

 

[Axial]

So according to pcgamesn.com the recommended specs should manage 1080p and meet 60fps at medium settings.
I wonder if the same rig with a GTX 770 isntead of the 660 would manage to handle 1080p at high.

 

[Dick Justice]

Wonder if the video editor will be less buggy here. Had a bunch of issues with helicopter rotors and blood decals among other things in IV, which can be seen in a video I made.

[neogaffer1]

No SMAA? Boooo

It's the only decent AA my system can handle in most games :/

 

[Tain]

This still has the replay editor, right?

I'm probably gonna double dip on this game if so.
