Tips, Tricks & Tweaks:

- Issues with mouse movement? Camera seems to judder/stutter? Try this! | Link
- Flawless Widescreen now works with GTAV | Source *Use with caution, game might think it is a cheat and ban you.
- To improve performance, while in-game alt-tab out, go into Task Manager, find the process for GTAV, set priority to high.
- If you are having an issue with 59Hz and not able to select 60Hz refresh rate, check this post. | Link
- You can use ReShade with SweetFX to add Post Processing effects to your game. | Guide | Download
- Adding a large amount of music to Self Radio can stop your game from loading and also impact in-game performance.
- You can use SweetFX as a alternative form of anti-aliasing, it has a very small impact to performance | Link
- Current system hogs are Grass set to Ultra, MSAA, and Shadows. Try lowering these settings to improve performance.
- You can install/move the game files to an SSD for faster loading times | Steam Mover
- Problem Installing? Check this

Shout out to my favorite community on NeoGaf! <3 you DGAF!

 

[SliChillax]

It's happening isn't it

 

[UnrealEck]

I'll let you guys with old/budget hardware know how it runs on my machine.
I killed some of my memory and my GPU is being repaired.

I'm now on a GTX 460 and 4GB of RAM so we'll see how it goes.

 

[Enco]

I really want to see performance on a low end 1GB card.

Time to see if the long ass delay has been worth it.

 

[Corpekata]

Nvidia reps on twitter have been saying a new driver aimed at the game should be popping up today. Hopefully before the release.

 

[dreamlock]

Subscribed.

EDIT:

Specs I'm going to test with tomorrow:

i7 3770k stock (likely overclocking again if I can't max it.)
2x780 GTX SLI
16GB RAM

 

[Nzyme32]

Well I have the below min spec covered. I'll be testing tomorrow on a 1gb gt525m, 4gb ram, i5-2430m 2.3ghz

Haha

 

[Yarbskoo]

Can't wait to see what this does to my 750Ti.

 

[FuuRe]

I have a Qosmio x75 Laptop (12gb RAM, 770m GTX, i7-4700MQ)

Will post results tomorrow

 

[jet1911]

Can't wait to see some GTX560 benchmark. If it turns out to be a good port I'll probably triple dip just for playing with m/kb.

 

[orava]

That GFWL logo annoys me. Please replace the poster.

 

[Aztechnology]

Can't wait to see what this does to my 750Ti.

If what the dev's have said is true, you'll be just fine. If what they have said about how optimized it is, I'll be really impressed.

 

[Visualante2]

2k image for a screenshot of some settings. Super.

 

[Yarbskoo]

If what the dev's have said is true, you'll be just fine. If what they have said about how optimized it is, I'll be really impressed.

If I get a steady framerate at low-medium settings, it'll already be an improvement over GTA4.

 

[Shuggananas]

Hoping for 1080p60fps on very high with my 970. Should be alright.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

970 + i5 4670k here. Holding my breath for 2560x1080 ultra at stable 60fps.

 

[JaseC]

That GFWL logo annoys me. Please replace the poster.

The Steam Store "capsule" image would suffice:

 

[Tovarisc]

I wonder how my i5 750 @ 3,8GHz would deal with this game, not sure how it ranks against recommended CPUs. Other than that I have 8GB of RAM and GTX760 so those would be fine.

 

[nkarafo]

I hope i can run this at 60fps / 1080p with semi-high settings or with graphics similar to ps4 version at worst.

i5 4670 stock
16 gb Ram
GTX 960

 

[Dictator93]

This is going to be interesting: i look forward to hearing about everyone's performance at a variety of settings!

 

[Kezen]

4/13 : nVidia stated that there will be game ready drivers available at some point today, I will update the link acoordingly.

Where ? I don't remember andy claiming that.

[LilJoka]

I hope i can crank this up to close to max, with 2xAA on my 970 at 1080p60. Overclock at 1560Mhz core and 7900Mhz memory gives me GTX 980 performance.

 

[Hip Hop]

I'm in!

Using GTX 670 and i5 3570k stock.

 

[Corpekata]

I wonder how my i5 750 @ 3,8GHz would deal with this game, not sure how it ranks against recommended CPUs. Other than that I have 8GB of RAM and GTX760 so those would be fine.

Your CPU is above minimum but below recommended. It should be playable but probably not spectacular.

[Lostconfused]

2k image for a screenshot of some settings. Super.

With all the jpg compression it's probably a good idea to sample from 4K anyway.

 

[orava]

done

Thanks!

 

[Windom Earle]

We've come a long way.

 

[Madness]

Imagine if next gen only was the baseline for GTA V and not consoles that were from 05 and 06. I was blown away by the Xbox 360 version, even more impressed seeing the PS4/Xbone versions, can't wait to see what the maxed and high level PC settings are like. Trying to find videos or streams but I'm not sure too many have it yet.

 

[| Praxis |]

Interested to hear how this performs on a 2600k, 970 and 8gb ram.

 

[Seanspeed]

My plan is to see what I can do at 1080p for a mostly consistent 60fps, and then maybe see if I can dial things back a bit to hit 1440p/60fps with still reasonable settings.

3570k@4.2Ghz
MSI GTX970
8GB RAM
Windows 7

Still amazed at the number of options and settings.

 

[Human_me]

970 + i5 4670k here. Holding my breath for 2560x1080 ultra at stable 60fps.

Same but with a i7 4790k.

Give me that juicey 21:9 goodness!

However I doubt we will be able to max the game out on our 970's @ 60fps.
We will most likely have to knock down AA to 2x and not have TXAA or PCSS.
Along with a few other bits and bobs (Tessellation, Reflection AA, Distance sliders.)

It depends on how stable you want your 60fps I guess.

 

[Lucifon]

970 + i5 4670k here. Holding my breath for 2560x1080 ultra at stable 60fps.

Same setup here too! Hoping it runs well...

 

[Windom Earle]

I did a farewell run of the PS4 version yesterday and even that looks amazing. PC will blow your socks off.

 

[tamaster92]

will be testing tomorrow - 970, 8gb RAM, i5 4670K @ 3.6ghz

Hoping for good frames at 1080p and playable at 4K but we shall see

 

[MetalSlug]

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T @ 2.8Ghz
GTX 570 1.2GB
8GB RAM
Windows 7 64 Bit

Interested in seeing how good (or bad) GTA V performs on my system.

 

[Seanspeed]

Also, I hope injecting SMAA isn't a problem.

 

[Seanspeed]

I did a farewell run of the PS4 version yesterday and even that looks amazing. PC will blow your socks off.

I just played a tiny bit(just the Prologue) of the PS3 version this morning and despite the framerate, the graphics are still really impressive. I mean, it's got some technically weak aspects obviously, but the overall presentation is just superb from what little I've seen.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Hopefully the game ready driver will include an SLI profile as well.

 

[JaseC]

Also, I hope injecting SMAA isn't a problem.

I can never get it to work with DX11 titles, but I assume the presence of a "DirectX Version" option means DX9 is supported.

 

[nkarafo]

Is that game ready driver nessesary?

GTA V and Ground Zeroes really, really pushed the PS3 IMO

 

[Nugg]

Do we know if there's a benchmark mode? I hate messing around with the settings during actual gameplay. It usually ruins the first half hour of the game for me, since I'm gonna be focused on performance so much.

I especially expect the (beginning of the game spoilers)

Spoiler

intro heist not to be representative of the real game since you're not in the city, and that countryside is probably less demanding. We'll probably have to mess with the settings again once the game *really* starts, and the first gameplay bit in the city is a high speed race, so it's gonna be annoying.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

It's even more impressive when you compare it to GTA IV which was on the same console.

 

[jmga]

Try Reshade.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Its going to be interesting to see how my og titian and old cpu will handle this.

 

[SandTorso]

Looking forward to hearing how it runs on lower spec machines. Still rocking the q6600!

 

[nkarafo]

It's even more impressive when you compare it to GTA IV which was on the same console.

Yeah, i never expected gta5 to be this good on last gen consoles. I couldn't believe my eyes when i first played it.

 

[UrbanRats]

nVidia drivers are mostly for Sli or the game in general? i mean, not like there's any downside in updating drivers, but i'm curious.
