Can I run GTAV with an i3 2100? My video card is definitely up to snuff (7970).

If I recall correctly, the minimum CPU requirement is a quadcore.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Wasn't Channel X metal?

Spoiler

I dont know shit about metal lol

I never played GTAV enough to know much about it but I heard there was very little to no hard rock and metal. Like the Lost and Damned DLC had.

My music's getting some use alright, that's for sure!

 

[SpookyFries]

I assume that I need to upgrade my processor which is an i3-2120 Sandy Bridge Dual Core 3.3GHz huh?

My graphics card should suffice (Radeon HD 7950 3GB)

I added more details about Self Radio from a Game Informer article a couple posts earlier...no idea if that's worth a thread or not so I won't take the chance of making one

also I can make a Run The Jewels station...hooray

 

[Alo81]

I don't care about how high the high settings can go, but how low the lower ones can go. I won't be satisfied unless I can run 60fps on my laptop.

Unless you've got a chunky beast of a laptop then you are pretty unreasonable to satisfy

[Kabuki Waq]

Is ther 21:9 support?

We're in the same boat, and I sure as hell hope not.

 

[Hawk269]

I am expecting nothing less than a max Payne 3 quality port here.

Maxing out everything tho no fuks given

Unless a setting is broken..

It all comes down to how optimized it is. Oh and good SLI driver needs to be ready day one. 😊

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Is ther 21:9 support?

And also, borderless window?

 

[iNvid02]

its really looking as if the wait is going to be worth it, time to start constructing the V playlist

 

[Branson]

Self Radio is the best news I've heard today. Cruising around Blane county with my own music means I'll get a lot of playtime on this shit.

 

[Elsolar]

Most of that shit I can take or leave, just give me triple buffering! How can they have an entire article about PC configuration setting and not even mention vsync?

 

[kabel]

Is ther 21:9 support?

They said multi-monitor and 4K.


Wouldn't make sense to not support 21:9

 

[Kezen]

Very impressive.

I don't remember tessellation being featured on consoles so that's already a PC only improvement, nice to see PCSS as well.

I feel like its thread worthy. This is big time.

 

[robotrock]

unlock the game now rockstar

 

[Flandy]

If I can run this at or near PS4 version graphics @ 1080p60 on my i7 2600k and 7950 3GB I'll be happy

 

[Derp]

And also, borderless window?

Worst case scenario you'll just have to use a program to force it, so it isn't too much of a big deal.

I don't think I'm gonna use borderless window for this beast though. Purely because I want to be able to record stuff with Nvidia Shadowplay, and Shadowplay won't detect games unless they're fullscreen. Makes me sad.

Wouldn't letting ShadowPlay record the desktop work for borderless fullscreen games?

 

[Durante]

It does, I use it all the time.

The only "problem" (or more accurately "niggle") is that it won't put your videos in neat folders (everything is desktop for understandable reasons).

 

[Derp]

Yup, however it doesn't capture any audio (at least from my experience). If anyone knows a way around this please let me know haha.

Hmm, I don't really know a way around it, since it "just works" (TM) for me. I guess what I can tell you is that it can work

 

[Nyteshade517]

If you feel like it's worth it's own thread then go ahead and make one...or someone else/a mod can

[MrPanic]

You tell me cause I don't really know about pc specs and stuff. I don't really mind lowering resolution and settings as long as the game runs smoothly without overheating my laptop. Some specs that cyri pulled from my laptop:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz
Video Card 1 Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Video Card 2 NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M
Memory 8.1 GB
Operating System Microsoft Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bit

It runs most games just fine when I put the resolution on 720p, but it kinda depends on how low some settings go on prettier games.

 

[kodecraft]

Setting everything to max is going to wreck the fps. I hope people have realistic expectations.

You know they don't.

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

I chose a perfect time to go looking for a new laptop. All I want is 60fps and I'll be happy with my settings the way they are.

 

[Fordfx2]

Now we need a remaster for this!!!

 

[Qassim]

You know they don't.

People with high end GPUs will fling everything to max then complain it is "unoptimised" disregarding the actual cost of the different effects they're cranking up.

It happens all the time and it's so frustrating.

Nah, Channel X was all hardcore/punk stuff.

And damaging. No wonder some developpers just don't bother.

My 4770K/970 is going to be wrecked if I put each of these settings to their max value, like <20fps.

A mix of high/ultra should do fine. I'm aiming for 50-60fps.

Oh wow! Okay this is good news and bad news. Good because it works. Bad because I have no idea how to make it work.

I shall investigate it in a few hours when I get back to my PC . I guarantee you the problem is something really obvious, except I'm a really oblivious derp.

Edit: Did some googling. It's a bug. Found out how to fix it. SO HAPPY NOW!

 

[viveks86]

Tempted to double dip. Ugh

 

[RootCause]

To play this at 4k on a 75" TV must be insane.

Kavinsky/80's-style synth station here I come.

To be alternated with a metal station.

 

[bananafactory]

VRAM is not additive.

So....will I be OK?

 

[Regret Truth]

Posted a thread about it.

[Qassim]

Depends what you mean by hold up. You exceed the recommended specs assuming that crossfire works properly, but what 'recommended' means in regards to what frame rate you'll get at what settings, we don't really know yet.

 

[Älg]

So....will I be OK?

Only having 2 GB of VRAM will probably put some limits on the really high end stuff, but my guess (which is obviously only speculation) is that you'll be fine.

Thanks. I guess I'll try and wait for some benchmarks.

Problem is lately I've been having trouble finding performance info for my cards (probably because they're about 4 years old now) so it's really hard to get a good idea how games will run on my system.

Part of why I haven't bought a PC game in quite some time.

 

[BPoole]

I wish SMAA was present, but I'll I'll have to take the performance hit of 2x MSAA

 

[Human_me]

Is ther 21:9 support?

I presume there will be, Plus previous R* offerings have supported 21:9.

The fact you can change your aspect ratio is another good sign.
I think we will be fine.

SMAA is trivial to inject with SweetFX.

You will be able to run games at 1080p/60 for many years to come. It just depends on what settings you are willing to compromise. Hint: AO and tessellation should always be the first to go, expensive and difficult to notice in motion.

[Fordfx2]

So, I'm looking forward to the vast amounts of mods we'll be seeing pop up quickly for the game once released but, I found some generic hacks/mods for the JTAG xbox 360...

To name a few:

&#9788;Semi_God
&#9788;Rapid climbing
&#9788;Traffic is frozen
&#9788;Security vs. cops
&#9788;Gangs betray each other
&#9788;Increased melee "Radius"
&#9788;Recover instantly from falling
&#9788;Mercenaries betray each other
&#9788;Pay-N-Spray without losing cops
&#9788;Authorities are slow while navigating vehicles

Good to know. It still shocks me how bad GTA4 runs, that game is ancient and on max settings my system can't even hit a regular 45 fps, frequent drops to 30.

Sounds like 5 is much more well optimized.
