GTA V PC Performance Thread

I feel like I shouldn't have put this data on my external HDD, because this unpacking is taking some time...
 
The preallocating begins.

Hopefully its something minor.

I restarted install from my disk and got an option to repair. Now social club starts at least. Cautiously optimistic. Soon disappointed.

Edit: with these dl speeds it might be a bit longer than soon.
 
My preallocating phase is moving along well but the estimate is between 40mins and 3mins - Steam and my computer are getting along famously.
 
Second heads-up:
Going to the benchmarks before doing any story missions screws things up - it gives you a "MISSION FAILED", because it actually starts the single-player before going to the benchmarks.
 
Nothing happens and the pre-launcher exe is missing an icon... getting worried

Which install? The GTAV_setup_tool.exe or something like that? I already deleted that, redownloading... (at whopping 450kBps)

Edit: Download finished, now repairing
 
Alright so this unpacking phase says like 20-something minutes.

Are they going to spring more shit on me after this bar is full or is this it?
 
I can only pray that everything settles down when I get home from work in a few hours.

By the way, should I be worried that I only have a few gigs left in my SSD after preloading the whole game? Or does unpacking or whatever happen inside that 60gb of space it took?
 
0.0 k/sec. Press Pause then resume. 7.9mb/sec. 1 minute later, 0.0k/sec. Press Pause then resume. 7.9mb/sec. 1 minute later, 0.0k/sec. Rinse+repeat for 60gb. First world problems.

I'm at 180 KB/s with 276MB downloaded...think I'm just gonna let it be...
 
I'd guess $2k mark. I'm looking at moving to DDR4 and it would cost me about $1k in Australian price to do so, and that includes a 970.

2K? That system sounds like it would cost 3K, at least.

Including 1 TB SSD and a bunch of other stuff, around $4K. Plugged into my home theater for couch gaming, so i didn't have to spend another ton on monitor, sound system etc...

MO LORD! I was actually underestimating. 4K???? BRO, THAT IS A FRIGGIN DOWN PAYMENT ON A CAR!!!!
 
And another shitty PC online only launch...

Seriously, didn't they learn anything from Diablo 3, SimCity and their own GTA Online launches ??

Going to bed, 12kB/s, Gamersyde videos will wait.
 
No problem! I didn't OC my CPU yet because I'm fearful of exploding my neighborhood if I do something wrong. But if it makes a lot of difference I'll OC it asap.

Made a pretty big difference in GTAIV for me as well as other games. The 2500K is really easy to overclock, but it's a little time-consuming getting the most out of it. And every chip is different so you can't use use other people's settings.
 
Some really weird shit going on with the benchmark tool, it starts the benchmark and the story mode simultaneously. My benchmark stopped because I failed the mission while I was looking at the benchmark.
 
Watching stream of that 5k resolution guy
in the menu it says the game is using 19GB of vram?
I guess it's x4 ing it cos he's using quad sli and it's 5GB of vram mirrored on 4 cards
 
Benchmark is weird. It starts the first mission of the game and launches the benchmark at the same time. Halfway through the benchmark the mission fails because "You left your crew behind" and the mission failed message pops up and ends the benchmark. The performance during the scenes I was able to see were locked at 60 fps, which is good I guess. Ha ha.
