So glad I waited. 15th can't come soon enough!

Damn.

I'll be shocked if this is truly what the PC version will look like, massive difference right there.

Bullshots they say... In a PC topic.

Some people should visit the hi-res PC screenshot thread sometime! Some amazing stuff in there that people play at such a high fidelity.

4k and DSR changed my life.

 

[Wag]

I really hope the game supports 21:9 (3440x1440) displays.

 

[chromatic9]

280 3GB is still pretty good, Metro Last light on very high is around 45fps at 1080p. It's a 7950 overclocked really.

Thanks lorigta for the comparison. PC is looking fantastic.

 

[bishoptl]

What are you running now?

piece of crap HP Laptop from 2010

 

[Netherscourge]

All of that on a gtx 660 or an HD 7870. Hard to believe isnt it.

To be fair, what they managed to pull off on a XB360/PS3 was hard to believe too.

But they did it.

 

[Qassim]

What set up would I get to run this at max easily at 1080? I don't care about 4k and other crazy bells and whistles. Is there any card on the market that can do this without tinkering? And as you can see, I have no idea what settings do what other than the basic aliasing and v-sync type stuff.

We have no idea what the max settings entails, so no one can answer that. It's entirely possible that there could be settings, that when at max, couldn't be practically used even on a Titan X.

That's not likely, but it is possible. Don't chase "max settings", it doesn't make any sense to because it is not standardised, "max settings" vary from game to game.

From that same thread:

SLIGHTLY more activity in the PC version, I'd say lol

 

[Solid Samus]

Bullshots they say... In a PC topic.

Seriously, its telling as fuck. Every round of screenshots for this game sees this same reaction; why? What's unbelievable about these shots when viewed at native resolution?

 

[Doctor Ironic]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves - Rockstar claimed greater pedestrian and vehicle density in the PS4/Bone ports too, which was really only slightly greater.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves - Rockstar claimed greater pedestrian and vehicle density in the PS4/Bone ports too, which was really only slightly greater.

It was much higher, they just showed it off at times of day where there's more traffic, which is more realistic than constant traffic.

 

[On Demand]

The screenshots are highly composed to look good. PC version with a good GPU will look amazing. I just want to see it running on actually hardware with game play.

Spiced up screens with specific camera angles being used to compare the PS4 actual game play screens is not really a fair comparison. The PC screens are not dealing with lod and texture pop in like the PS4 either. It's all tidied up.

Just because you mostly don't see that much traffic in the same place doesn't mean you won't. On PS3 it could be very dense sometimes even. Same on PS4. It all comes down to the time of day and not to mention a design aspect. Super dense traffic like in that trailer would make it impossible to drive at super high speeds which would be less fun. That trailer only showed what's possible. Except for the traffic density they delivered in the graphical area.

Nowhere ever is the traffic density that high in the PS4 version. The trailer was not telling truth. This is why actual game play matters to me.

 

[CarbonFire]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves - Rockstar claimed greater pedestrian and vehicle density in the PS4/Bone ports too, which was really only slightly greater.

The difference here is that unlike the console versions, we'll likely have the power to either officially (or unofficially through tweaking/modding) change the density to whatever we desire. Assuming you've got the CPU and GPU to handle it.

 

[Stitch]

What do you mean, with every setting fully maxed? No lol MSAA will tank your framerate if you max it.

Wouldn't be surprised if there's only SMAA and FXAA

 

[Takuan]

Yup, triple-dipping. I've sold the PS3 and PS4 versions of the game already, of course.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

Took the 14th and 15th off work...

Spoiler

... for reasons unrelated to GTA V but what a happy coincidence.

 

[Salsa]

I hate that the steam version of this isnt cheaper anywhere

:,(


will probably run like shit on my 2gig 680 anyway

 

[Bollocks]

oh man, tripple dip but soooo worth it
just thinking about the improved graphics and atmosphere makes me jizz

 

[Furyous]

^^ Where's this in GTA V? Seriously, I want to visit this place but can't find it.

 

[pixlexic]

Bullshots they say... In a PC topic.

Kind of silly really. Unless they have purposely added assets to the screens that are not in the final build it can look like that.

And even if they did those assets can be modded in.

 

[Salsa]

btw: the game is $10 cheaper on Steam in latin america ($49.99 as opposed to $59.99)

not sure what's the deal with region lock but I think there aint one gifting from latin america to US

I can help in getting it for $50 if that's the case

If by "shit" you mean look better than the current-gen console versions with a better framerate, then yes

Oh sorry, you were rationalizing there.....Yes, It'll look horrible and run at 15 fps.

 

[RyudBoy]

Hot diggity damn! Triple dipping so hard.

 

[Wreav]

The triple dip for me is a done deal if they have semi decent Rift/Vive support.

Yay, more people to "accidentally" hit and get the cops after me.

 

[Randam]

but these pics really don't look like they were shot during gameplay sections.

[Dezeer]

Hopefully we wont have people in the PC performance thread complaining that their 660/7870 doesn't run the game well enough while looking the same as these shots.

 

[Mifec]

Wouldn't be surprised if there's only SMAA and FXAA

If it's true that the Max Payne 3 team is doing the port SMAA is gonna be in.

 

[Hidden One]

I've never seen this area...

I hope my patience will be rewarded, stopped playing the xbox 360 version early on, hoping for a pc version.

I really hope they don't delay this again.

 

[kaskade]

A 280 is a very old GPU which does not support DX11. It's barely above the minimum specs.

Unless (s)he's talking about the AMD R9 280x instead of the NVIDIA GTX280 In that case it should easily perform better than the PS4.

Haha yeah, I meant a r9 280. Sorry about that. That's good to hear though. I really don't mind buying GTAV again.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Insane!

Now lets hope that the version turnout good and stable at launch.

 

[CarbonFire]

I've never seen this area...

It's the area called Paleto Forest just north of the sawmill near the top of the map.

It doesn't look as good with as much foliage on the current gen consoles, so that's why you may not recognize it.

 

[On Demand]

I've never seen this area...

It's the forest area in paleto. It looks different because the way they captured it. No part in the game plays out like that. Like I said, these are made to look good.

 

[cyberheater]

Every screen shot looks like a cartoon after being spoiled by The Order.

On the other hand. The pics still look great.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

I'm gonna wait for the first GAF reviews to hit, and will pick it up as soon as possible. I don't want to go through the initial DRM and connection issues clusterfuck, or I'll lose at least 4 years from my life.

And I think this game warrants an SSD installation...

Thankfully, GTAV makes up for it in actual gameplay

Gonna be glorious in the future when I play this on a beast PC. (have PS4 ver now)

wtf? Some of these posts man lol

That shadow from the tree looks a bit funky. Just look at the tire.

Spoiler

Could use some of that Nvidia secret sauce

What's funky about it? The terrain is pretty uneven and bumpy there, so it'll distort how the shadow falls.

Damn.

Honestly I don't see a gargantuan difference here. The two shots are clearly taken at a different angle. You can tell the cactus and flowers are the same in both pictures. You just can't see the barren patch of land in the PC shot because of the angle. And the difference in shadows is just because the sun is in a different place.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Still nothing about the sketchy sounding DRM?

Other requirements: Installation and online play requires log-in to Rockstar Games Social Club (13+) network; internet connection required for activation, online play, and periodic entitlement verification; software installations required including Rockstar Games Social Club platform, DirectX, Chromium, and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 sp1 Redistributable Package, and authentication software that recognizes certain hardware attributes for entitlement, digital rights management, system, and other support purposes. Single use serial code registration via internet required; registration is limited to one Rockstar Games Social Club Account (13+) per serial code; only one log-in allowed per Social Club account at any time; serial code(s) are non-transferable once used; Social Club accounts are non-transferrable.

Guess we''ll be finding out after the game's out. Not touching this game until this has been clarified and deemed unshitty.
