Of course. But what kind of CPU could pull that off and not get crippled by that heavy load? (assuming it IS a heavy load....) hopefully my 2500K @ 4.4Ghz can handle the sliders on max. I think it's possible.

We have no idea how extreme they're going to get with the sliders.

All this talk of 'maxing' the game and asking what sort of performance you can expect you can get at max with 'x' rig is so pointless until we know what 'max' means.

 

[laxu]

Actually I would like that they have some completely absurd settings available that only those multiple Titan X guys are able to use right now.

This whole maxing thing is complete bullshit. I'd rather developers pushed graphics beyond what's possible with current hardware than cut it down so current hardware can run it. The whole reason we even have graphics options is that we can tailor them to our current hardware.

 

[Enco]

You don't necessarily want to do that for vehicles. In GTA IV maxing vehicles caused constant traffic jams. About 70-75% seemed to be ideal amount of vehicles in that game. Performancewise there wasn't much of a different. I do like having the option though.

It remains to be seen if R* have made changes for the PC version to handle a wider variety of vehicles and pedestrians at the same time. IV (and to a lesser degree V on PS3 at least) had that issue where turning around would spawn different cars and what cars spawned was related to what you were driving etc. All to keep memory use down.

Good point. Will have to wait and see.

Of course. But what kind of CPU could pull that off and not get crippled by that heavy load? (assuming it IS a heavy load....) hopefully my 2500K @ 4.4Ghz can handle the sliders on max. I think it's possible.

Lol I hope my 3.3Ghz works well.

Those sliders shouldn't be that taxing I feel. It didn't make much diff in the last GTA. MSAA and shadow stuff will be the killer so I'll throw that way down.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

I'll be very surprised if your assumption turns true.
There are some very punitive settings in there, that we know, and when you factor in DX11 inefficiencies I'm not at all convinced a single 970 will run this at "max" (even with FXAA) at anything close to 60fps.

We shall see.

According to Rockstar, the recommended specifications are based on hardware that can run the game at 1080p, at 60 frames-per-second. For that, Rockstar suggest a Nvidia GTX 660 2GB or AMD HD7870 2GB.

"To run the game on a 4K display at 30fps," says Hoare, "you’ll need at minimum an AMD HD 7870 or Nvidia GTX 760 with 2GB of VRAM." As for the 4K at 60 frames-per-second, that'll require a "high-end SLI or Crossfire setup."

If you can run 4k30 on a 7870 then I'm sure he wont have any issues running 1080p60.

I don't put any stock into what Rockstar says on this matter. Do as you please.

I hope it can't. I want those sliders to be, whilst at max, out of reach for most current hardware. Give us some longevity!

I don't understand why the system ram needs to be as high as their demo rig... 32 gb is ridiculous.

That mentions nothing of the settings though. As has been said, there are probably some quite costly settings at the top end in this game.

980sli and a rog swift. My epeen is ready.

You and me both, it's going to be glorious.

 

[LilJoka]

It doesnt need that much RAM, they just have that much installed.
Even 8GB RAM will be enough to max out this game, just like any other game.

 

[Pachimari]

Antialiasing, if that's what you ask


No filtering or messing about with the information received from the mouse. Usually eliminates input lag/smoothing if done properly, making it 1:1. Hopefully it's the way it is implemented.


Old games are a bit hit and miss. Shooting was always a weak point, but with the improvements done to GTA V + FPS mode, this should be fixed hopefully. Driving is of course not as smooth as on console. M+KB means digital inputs for driving

It means it bypasses the Windows settings of sensitivity and acceleration. It shouldn't be a big deal if you have acceleration turned off in windows and the sensitivity set on the 6/11 hash mark anyways.

But it's still nice they included that feature. Looks like a really good PC port. I'm excited!

Thanks for the explanation, I understand it more now.

Until you hit the VRAM ceiling

I have 2 970's but also have a 5930k at 4.4.

I think we even out.

 

[ido]

I have been out of the loop for a long time, and this is probably going to be my first video game in a while. I've been in the dark for the console release and even the upcoming PC release. I know the media raved about the game, but for those who have played it, is it really good? I did not like IV all that much, but I loved the earlier games like Vice City. And is the game fairly difficult? Lately I have determined that I suck at video games now, even though I still enjoy them.

Still hoping that my 970 will be able to play this at decent high settings at 1080/60!

 

[Nyteshade517]

I know I have to keep my expectations at a reasonable level. I have an i5-4690K, R9 290X, and 8GB RAM so I know it's better than recommended. I won't even attempt to max everything out at 1080p because I know that won't end well. I'll have to go through the settings and sliders to tweak things up and down. If I can run things at a stable rate on High (not Very High/Ultra or whatever the max is) I'll be happy.

 

[Dinjoralo]

I'm wondering how the auto-detection will work. For me, games that auto-detect settings always set stuff way too high.

 

[abracadaver]

Heres the Picture:

Woah. 5,7GB

Is this the new Crysis?


Are there any comparisons between low/medium/high/ultra/PS4 yet?

 

[Akronis]

My SLI 980s are so ready.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

I'll be perfectly happy and able to max at 1080p@30 fps.
Consoles and shitty computers gave be a high tolerance for far less

 

[Kezen]

4k and MSAA are very VRAM intensive. No idea where you are getting this "new Crysis" from.

 

[The Janitor]

That's at 4K with 8xMSAA.

 

[Derp]

"To run the game on a 4K display at 30fps," says Hoare, "you’ll need at minimum an AMD HD 7870 or Nvidia GTX 760 with 2GB of VRAM."

I'm guessing this is assuming everything is cranked down to low... Which wouldn't look that great...

They said medium I think?

 

[Tagyhag]

The VRAM usage estimator thingy in Rockstar's ports is something that more PC games should use.

Yeah it's cool. Mount and Blade games have a general performance percentage that changes as you change settings, great stuff.

 

[Windom Earle]

I would like to know the maxed out 1080p memory usage. Get that 4k outta here.

 

[Dave_6]

Awesome!

 

[Derp]

Can anyone confirm? If that's true then that's goddamn impressive.

 

[Pachimari]

I wonder what will be the optimal settings for a GTX 780, i5 4670K, 16GB of RAM. Hopefully we can help out each other when the game arrives.

Funny thing is that a new card will be out soon for half the cost which will be just as fast, 980Ti, his 12GB of VRAM is useless and the card will bottleneck far before it can even use all 12GB in gaming.

The jokes on him for wasting money, not that I am salty or anything, my 7950 is great... :/

right. my 12GB of VRAM is totally useless when I'm playing some titles at 4k and VRAM exceeds 6GB+, but keep telling me what's in my best interest.

i'm fully aware of how the GPU industry works.

The whole thing about video memory is you never ever want to be near fully utilizing it. Having a basically "unlimited" buffer for your shading performance is freaking awesome. You only have to worry about low framerates...never stutter from RAM or disk access.

If I can't max this game at 1080p and 60fps I don't know what I'll do. There's no new Nvidia card I can upgrade to with more than 4gb of Vram (I'm not crazy enough to buy a Titan X). Nvidia just needs to release some new buttery drivers.

EDIT: Don't know why you guys are freaking out over my "max" comment. Chill, I know how computers work and won't scream about a game being unoptimized.

Probably just turn down some settings and then get on with things.

Or not, and have it run badly just so you don't suffer the psychological shame of not playing AT MAX.

 

[Human_me]

Heres the thing, that isn't even max.
It's not using Nvidia's PCSS or AMD's CHS, Plus it's got the Depth of field effects off and then doesn't show if its got TXAA on or what the tessellation settings are.
It also doesn't show what the Advanced Graphic settings are either.

The question really is how demanding are each setting?

That picture just shows the VRAM usage, not how it would run on the computer.
Is there any article/benchmark that show the performance with everything maxed out yet?

As for maxing every setting out on a 770 4gb? no chance.
I'm not expecting my 970 to max out every setting either.

VRAM might not be the limiting factor, the 980 is faster than a 970 and so could be the R9 390 / 390X.

In regards to tessellation I wonder where it has been used water meshes aside.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Seriously nothing wrong with not being able to max it currently, VI is still like 5 years away.

Guys, I know how graphic settings work. When I say max I know exactly what settings I'm talking about. Jeez, ya'll go crazy over the slightest crap. And I know my 770 likely isn't going to max everything, I'm not stupid.
