I've read medium at first, then it was changed to high.

So, 6870 or 6850? Anyway, those cards have only 1 GB of VRAM so I don't think that you can run the game in 1080p 60 with more or less good settings. You really should upgrade and get a new GPU if your PSU can handle it in max load. R9 280X should be good enough (or R9 290X if you can afford it), plus there will be very good performance boost in other games too.
The "high settings" part was posted by a guy on the GTA forums who claimed to work for Rockstar (yet provided absolutely no evidence to support the claim). Everyone was so quick to believe him it was shocking.
A 660 pulling 1080/60 on high settings is something I just can't fathom. "Recommended settings" on the spec list has never meant "1080/60 high". And this is GTA V we're talking about.

Come on SLI 980s and i5-4690K @ 4.5ghz. I need you guys to pull me through at 1440p60 max settings.
Let's do this.

I see, it did seem a bit much.
It's clear that Rockstar have made sure of checking every box their could. Great to see of course but I'd argue many others have taken advantage of the PC platform. In terms of features Crytek and even Ubisoft have done very well.
Well I guess it all depends on what "high" means in practice. I would assume that this is what PS4 and Xbox One builds use.

True. Those specs will out do a ps4 for sure, however. Just depends on optimization. Will be interesting to see DF compare the settings.

The game might not run at max settings, but he probably would
Why? What's the problem ?

Isn't this normal? I remember going through quite a few pages until impressions came in on other games.
No, it's part of the hype and we will preserve this!

Now I'm wondering if I should rush out and buy a 4GB video card. I was under the impression that my 2GB would cover me fairly well for 1080p
I just fired up GTA IV, it supports 120 Hz in the options, and i managed to get the framerate in game up to as much as well.
I'd expect no less from GTA V.
Okay, i maybe not 120 fps from my rig, but the actual ability to do so.

I would see how your 2gb card does you at first.

RockStar has 2GB GPU's listed in their recommended specs. You won't be running this game (or anything) at 4K with a 2 GB card, but as far as I am concerned you should be fine running it at 1080, hopefully near 60 FPS with some tweaking. People seem to forget this game was built on last gen hardware. It isn't going to need SLI 980's to run it.

Impressions, yes. But performance? No. It's not normal. I came in expecting numbers in the OP.
At least there are links to drivers and tuning guide, I guess.

It isn't even out yet. How were you expecting numbers?

If you got the space, then you should always put your games / applications on a SSD. It's not even a question, unless you ask "Why shouldn't I put this on my SS"? In that case the answer would be there is no reason not too

Exactly what I thought when I saw a thread on it already with so many pages. Thought someone got hold of retail copies early. I guess not.
See you next week!

I guess that makes sense. The hype train will push this thread to 11ty pages before any data is out.

Good advice is good advice. I too am hoping for 60FPS at decent settings. I'm just so hyped for this game, that I feel it in my bones. But if possible, I'd like that see if I can sitout buying a graphics card for the next couple of years, and then get a better card at a mid range price.

No SLI profile for GTA V in 350.12!(look at the manual)
Damnit!!!

Don't flip it.
Even if there isn't a profile at launch there will be one relatively close after launch. Other rockstar games have them. Rest easy.
Don't forget the press was playing in SLI.

According to this it seems to be the case:

Ah, so it was there in the previous driver? I need to check. Sometimes it might be in the registry but not functional.

Do we have any solid confirmation of 21:9 support yet, btw? Really don't want black bars or stretched shit.

They said it supports multi-montior setups.....so why would they stretch the picture on your 21:9?
Similar except I have a 955 BE. If you'd report back if you're buying the game, I'd appreciate it.
Luckily, I can't realistically play for more than a couple of hours until Friday anyway. So, in a strange kind of way, I still win.

Do you use any tools to ensure that your resolution is useable in windows say something like custom resolution utility? Nvidia cards of recent years all allow customized resolution including modes that aren't necessarily supported by your display.
Unless the game is coded badly people will figure out stuff and the natural support from the option thread looks like its extensive to begin with.
Any one know the word on mantle, I know it's unlikely?
Absolutely true. Lots of care. And it is appreciated.
After the launch day failings of so many games nowadays - even on consoles - I would much prefer that a game is released to me when its fully ready, with lots of neat extras and enhancements. Really, I have plenty of games to tide me over in the meantime.
The added time also seems to have helped Nvidia and AMD get prepared, too, so once we update drivers we get a positive day one experience.
Well done, Rockstar.
The RSC version doesn't seem to be entirely encrypted, but the Steam version is. Either way, yes, it'll need to be decrypted and unpacked before you'll be able to play it.
