How do we think a 280x will perform at 1440p with FXAA and Say High settings?

 

[finalflame]

While I guess the option to have the game play at any refresh rate would be nice, I'm not really bothered if it ends up being "capped" at 60. Some games benefit greatly from FPS > 60 (Titanfall, CoD, other fast paced shooters).

However, I don't see it being a huge deal for (mostly) third person games, or open world experiences like GTA.

Here are some benchmarks for it at 1440p:

(move on to the following pages)

Depending on optimization and if AMD does anything about drivers, you might very well see 40-60fps on High.

Edit: Sorry for the double post, didn't realize I had just posted ;/

 

[Xyber]

GTA IV and MP3 wasn't capped at 60, so this probably won't be either.

 

[RedSwirl]

So I'm guessing that distance scaling setting is kind of like ArmA's draw distance slider? If so, it'll have the biggest impact on CPU strain right?

 

[Snakepit]

I'm buckled in and ready to go

 

[PreFire]

Lol my pc would probably blow up trying to run this

Looks like it's time for some upgrades

 

[finalflame]

Am I retarded, or does this countdown imply that the game will be out on 4/13 at 4pm PST?

Assuming you got it through nuuvem, it's brazil time I believe?

Yes, it's a good assumption.

I guess that could have something to do with it. Would be 8pm (UTC-3), Brazil time.

 

[Objectively Bad Opinion]

AMD's CHS would probably be a far better choice in this case, as the performance impact is nowhere near as big as PCSS and it looks fairly similar.

Fairly similar, maybe. But not the same. From what I've seen PCSS as implemented so far has had much different (better) coverage than the standard developer-supplied shadows. Pretty sure that's the reason as for why it's so ridiculously demanding. In Unity there were more shadows, not only higher resolution shadows (though they were that, too).

I don't know about AMD's CHS but it'll probably be the default shadows with AMD's contact-hardening algorithm instead of the default. This should be more accommodating for regular gameplay.

Nice to have PCSS for screenshots and such, though if nothing else.

I'm guessing they decided to unlock it worldwide when it's 12am in London.

Nice observation. That makes sense.

I have the same time on my countdown, and I got my key from GMG.

Just checked. Here's how it impacts my FPS at 2560x1440.

Soft Shadows off (75)

Soft Shadows on (45)

 

[icecold1983]

I remember it hitting my FPS in Far Cry 4 pretty hard. Let me go check...

it looks great and has a very modest perf impact in unity. in far cry 4 it almost cuts perf in half and looks worse than unity.

I'm still not jealous, I got a Titan with 6GB VRAM, never had to worry, and it has been what now? 2 years since I bought my PC.

you can join me :]

 

[Salsa]

fuck it, man

I have a 2gig 680 and an i5 2500k at 4.0ghz

and i'll shoot for 60 with alright graphics

im shooting for the mooooooooon

amount of shit you can tone down has me hopeful

 

[Apoleptica]

Anyone here buying the game a second or third time?

 

[Arjac]

But what exactly is it?

Yup, third for me. But I've sold my previous 360/PS4 copies and have never beat the game.

 

[Smash88]

Sure. Pass me one, I'll even pay the shipping. Thanks buddy.

 

[Arjac]

If this port is on Max Payne 3 level, I should expect 1080p@60fps at ultra settings with my i5 4670k and GTX 970 + 8 GB RAM, shouldn't I? Perhaps, I'll need to finally overclock my CPU.

Funny enough I have almost the same build, only difference being my 4690k

 

[Smokey]

Had it on 360. Sold it. Have it on Xbox One. Barely played it. Will be getting it on PC.

 

[kodecraft]

This will be my first play through of GTAV...the PC version....damn.

 

[Mohasus]

I'm expecting 60fps with my GTX560.

Spoiler

720p

 

[plumpblumpkin]

As long as I can get 1080p/60fps with my Gtx 970 with most settings maxed I'm a fucking happy man.

 

[Flandy]

3rd time here

 

[Iacobellis]

Despite knowing the ending already, this will be my first proper playthrough if I do purchase it day one. Just in time for my new 1440p monitor.

 

[wiggleb0t]

A new radio station has been added that will import your local music and insert DJ stings and adverts, or you can just play your tracks sequentially.

That's sooooo good. Not a big pop fan so this will make the game hopefully near perfect.
Was this implemented on the consoles?

 

[dgrdsv]

I don't understand why so many games don't provide SMAA. It's like FXAA, but it sucks way, way less. And injecting it with SweetFX makes things like fine text look badly dithered.

It's not like FXAA at all. FXAA has a fixed frametime cost while for SMAA this cost is different based on the frame content. FXAA is used more often because it is more predictable for consoles usage. Why omit SMAA for PC versions - I dunno, laziness?

 

[Salsa]

bit

u ain gotta like it cause the hood gone love it

fingers crossed

 

[Kezen]

Machines at minimum spec are expected to handle GTA V at 800x600 and 20 to 30 frames-per-second - while recommended spec systems should manage 1080p and meet 60fps on medium settings.

That explains it.

Bought it on 360 because I couldn't wait.. ..But I deliberately played it a lot less than I wanted to because I wanted to save for the upcoming PC version

 

[anothertech]

Bring on the mods.

That is all.

 

[Evo X]

Anyone here buying the game a second or third time?

Second time here. Enjoyed the hell out of it on 360, but sold it when my 360 broke.

With the 1.5 year break and vastly improved graphics and performance, I am ready to enjoy it again on PC.

 

[Windom Earle]

I have to say I am a bit intimidated. Some of the stuff sounds costly.

Still, so far so good.

And yes, buying for the third time.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

That explains it.

What are the recommended specs?

Edit:
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHZ (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHZ (8 CPUs)
Memory: 8GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD7870 2GB
Sound Card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
HDD Space: 65GB
DVD Drive

Not bad at all for 1080/60fps at medium.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

If I can't get 60 FPS maxed out @ 1440p on my GTX Titan SC and i7 4770k. I will call this not optimized.



That stealth brag. Yes Smokey we get it you have Titan X's.

I'm still not jealous, I got a Titan with 6GB VRAM, never had to worry, and it has been what now? 2 years since I bought my PC.

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... :/

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

my specs surpass recommended settings which apparently results in 1080p 60fps at medium.

what do you think i'd get with these specs? recommended specs in brackets:

i5-4590 3.3GHz (i5-3470),
8GB 1600Mhz (8GB),
R9 290 4GB (AMD 7870 2GB).

The 4590 isn't a huge amount faster than the recommended 3470 but the 290 is considerably more powerful than a 7870.

I'd be happy with 1080p 60fps at high with decent AA on. or 1080p 30fps at very high again with decent AA.

“The PC version of Grand Theft Auto V is the result of a collaboration between the core Grand Theft Auto team and our lead PC developers from across all of Rockstar’s studios,” explains the Rockstar North team. “Over the past few years, we realised that in order to really improve our PC versions, the core games team had to work a lot more closely with our PC-focused developers.”

“We first put this into practise with Max Payne 3 and we were really happy with the results, so the same key group that worked on Grand Theft Auto V was much more involved in the development of the PC version this time around."

I've been holding off for ever, but this got me over the preorder edge. If they do not deliver there will be consequences. MP3 is the only good Rockstar PC port, and they better not be teasing.

Smokey's got a 4k monitor. He'll be using more than 6GB of vRAM pretty easily in many titles with the settings turned up.

 

[laxu]

I still haven't forgiven them for those unskippable cutscenes even though the game wasn't loading anything. Made MP3 un-replayable for me.

"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."

 

[hesido]

Pause game on focus loss.

Wow, they have no limits!

(Anyway, this should be the definitive version as expected but this pause feature isn't really mentionable)

Weird, if a single 7870 can run it at 4k 30fps, then a single card like 980 or 290x would be enough for 60fps. They probably mean it with everything on low-med or so.

 

[Hip Hop]

I wonder how a dual monitor setup would work.


Anyone have any ideas? Gameplay on one and the map on the other?

Hope that means the gpus you mentioned can run the game @1080p w/ high or very high settings

i don't play at 4k so not too familiar with it but that sounds good if a 7870/760 can get 4k/30fps even if it's at the lowest settings.

i should easily get 1080p 60fps high or very high with a 290, right?
