It's happened to me twice now.

maxwell here with a 970. GTA drivers worked fine for me while not so well for others apparently. I've tried a few games GTAV, Shadow of Mordor, DA:I on 352.86 and everything ran very well minus a few flickering here and there but nothing drastic before this random freeze happened.
GTA 5 drivers were damn near perfect for me but I'll wait till this game unlocks before deciding if I want to revert back or not.
I read on the comments section of the nVidia post that the W10 driver already has a TW3 profile in it, not sure if that means it's the same thing or not so we'll see.
Do you have hardware acceleration enabled in your browser ? Try disabling that if that's the case.

I read that as well, but the fact that the Game Ready Drivers are .86 and Windows 10 Drivers are .84, I am worried.

I've had hardware acceleration disabled in Flash for the longest time now, after a string of crashes.
Is it possible to install the .86 on W10?

720p 30 ish on low is my target .. I hope .. please
After seeing the difference between low and high im actually just considering begging gaben for a refund.
The game's low looks like most other game's high.
Same here, had regular crashes when browsing two years ago. Disabled hardware acceleration and never had issues ever since.
Nvidia drivers are far from perfect but it's been a long time they crashed on me.
I know, right? This card is still a little beast.
Every 3 months I think "man, I need to upgrade, no way my PC will run *insert game here* decently", and then it does.
It seems I'll only upgrade when I feel like getting better performance or visuals, no game will actually "force me" to do it this year. Didn't think it would "last" this long, but here we are.
What??
You gonna ask for a refund because the game looks good even on low or you are speaking of performance?
Yeah I've had it happen, twice on a 970. It'll spam it like 3 or 4 times per failure.

I'm thinking about asking for a refund because I don't think I'll be able to get more than 20fps steady.
I was hoping low would look stripped the fuck down so I could at least entertain the possibility of eeking out a stable 30 all the time but when it looks more demanding than most games on high it has me worried.
Okay what happens if you have two of those 6970s in crossfire? Will that now work or is depend upon how this is all implemented? So far I have never had any issues...guess this may be the start...just weird to end up on the no go list from usually being able to play at high or ultra.

GTA V ran on the PS3 and 360, it was designed with those ancient consoles in mind and scales remarkably well. This game was designed to run solely on current-generation consoles and high-end PCs. While you might still be able to run it at some sort of low setting and sub-1080p configuration, I wouldn't get my hopes up for a pleasant experience at 1080p.

Well, I think 720p is a way too extreme. I can't force myself to play games in this resolution for better FPS and settings, it's just not worth it in my opinion.
In terms of settings all I care about is texture quality and dynamic lighting which I will set up to Ultra, the rest of the setting will be set on high, some will be turned off like motion blur, NVIDIA stuff etc.
Well, like that guy said, it's only been when browsing the net so far (both times on GAF actually). Hasn't hit me while gaming yet.

Been playing some Black Ops 2 and GTA V, no crashes anywhere.
Ow, that makes sense.
But i think we need to wait for the game release and more benchmarks.
And maybe you can mess with the .ini to strip more settings from the low profile.
OC that shit. Think i'll be fine with it at 4.4ghz

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for, don't really care too much about how the game looks I just wanna play it at a steady FPS.
I'm hoping that the optimization will be super solid with enough tweaks, much like it was for the witcher 2.
The time in Galaxy Client is based off your system clock and timezone which can be incorrect. The unlock time on GOG.com is the correct time.

Same here but if the patch is available on store you should be able to install it anyway.

So I recognize that mobile GPUs are sort of crap, but I commute internationally on a weekly basis for work, so sort of limited in that respect. Will I be able to get 1080 30FPS on Low/Medium with the following:
i7-4810MQ 2.8ghz(turbo boost to 3.8 single, 3.4 four core)
GTX 870M 6GB
16GB Ram
I am getting ambiguous signals as I have heard that the GTX 870M is somewhere between the desktop GTX 660, but based on the GTX 760?

I'm sorry, I thought you were comparing performance between 2 families of Nvidia GPUs. In any case, Andy might be able to shed some light on this issue.

Seems like my computer will be able to handle running the game 1080p, high , 40 + fps according to that chart..we shall see..

So how much RAM does this game eat up when maxed?

btw pro-tip.
If you're about to buy the game on GoG and don't own W1 or 2, buy those first and you get a discount on W3. You'll save a bit of money and you'll have the first two games too.
I've seen it use over 7GB.
That doesn't mean you need 7GB.

I use google chrome beta and found this in the chrome gpu log with acceleration on.
[4124:2732:0518/130048:ERROR:gpu_video_decode_accelerator.cc(269)] : NOT IMPLEMENTEDHW video decode acceleration not available.
maybe this is what happened, I'll try disabling it.

Any real reports on how a i5 2500k @ 4.4 and 960gtx runs the game? I am preparing to running without the hair and maybe some decreased foliage.
Game isn't out yet so we all gotta wait.

My drivers crashed too, while watching a video on youtube. That was around an hour ago and I've had no issues since.
