Runs ok on my GTX 980, getting around 60fps at 2560x1440, but there's some pretty bad frame drop in areas with the Nvidia GFE recommended settings.

...

The keyboard bindings are stupid though, unless I'm missing something they've bound the mouse wheel to both selecting weapon categories, and selecting a sub-weapon in those categories, meaning I can only ever select the first weapon in any category before it switches to something else. And of course driving/flying is still best with a controller, but aiming is so smooth with a mouse.

 

Looking good from that screenshot. What are the recommended settings that they give for a 980 at that resolution? What kind of min fps are you getting?

Why not switch to blurays? 7 discs is outright ludicrous

 

I don't think BD drives are common enough among PC owners to justify it.

I agree but I bet the don't due to copy protection or something not working from a usb key etc. as I think they record a sector or layer to the dvd's 

 

Actually, a USB can have code inserted into its firmware that the game could look for, requiring the key to be inserted to play and therefore forming a hardware copy protection layer.  Really though, it doesn't matter.  The discs/key are just a distribution method, you can't play without your game key and being signed in to Rockstar Social...  Online validation is the way of things these days.

Seem to be stuck on a download of 353mb. Im assuming this is the last part I need after installing it from the 60gb download Ive spent the last 4 days doing.

Anyone else having issues?

 

Downloading at a whopping 200KB/sec, pausing and resuming seems to kick it up to 12MB/sec but doesn't take long to drop down again.

i was having major problems.

i have my games on an SSD and i had almost 120gb free

i thought gtav is only about 60gb so i have room.. nope :angry:

 

turns out if you preloaded the game it uses double the space with a cache of files. when you install/update and start the game it removes the cache.

i had to transfer several games to another hdd to free up another 15-20gb so it could finish loading patches then the game started.

then got my 60gb's back and transfered my other games back to my gaming SSD.. thanks rockstar :crazy:

apparently if you didnt preload this doesnt happen

Its crazy for sure and seems to only be if you do it via the official download. If you torrent the 300mb file or grab it off megaupload it doesn't need to do this.

I read a few steam users having major issues even with 300/400gb free on the storage device. Mental.

Got a good 6 hours in tonight, first time playing it and its amazing! Haven't ventured online yet but I think I will continue to do the sp during this week, then try mp over the weekend.

Feel like a kid again with this release, even booked a half day at work for tomorrow morning haha

A bluray drive is about $30 where I live... there is no excuse. The more developers that release on bluray the more will buy drives. It's the whole chicken before the egg thing

the majority of people aren't going to go out of their way to replace an optical drive just to install software or a game

I know i wouldn't, i even terrible speed Internet but i still prefer digital distribution to physical discs.

Edit: Just looked down, i do have a Bluray Drive. Still, if i didn't, i wouldn't buy one.

Looks like the Online mode has people using trainers already.

Shame that R* won't bring out any anti cheat detection for this game.

finally got everything installed and update for half an hours play before bed tonight.

what has happened to the car physics? gta4 was spot on for me, but now its so arcade like i thought i was playing crazy taxi!

IMHO the physics in 4 were a pile of crap. Everything was like it was on tank tracks and weighed ten tons. urgh.

Shame that R* won't bring out any anti cheat detection for this game.

Looking at that, i feel they have very little choice in the matter than to do just that.

Not watched the video yet as I'm at work, but last night I went online for the first time and did the first race in the tutorial. Without any crashes, slip ups or anything at all, I finished in 2nd place, about 20 seconds or so behind the winner. He just -vanished- when the race started... That just ain't possible without some kind of cheating going on.

 

It's a good job I bought this game for the story mode. Online, I'll just stick to playing with friends only.

What does it take to run GTA 5 at 1080p60?

It's finally here. 18 months on from Grand Theft Auto 5's last-gen release, the chance to tour Los Santos at 60fps is now a reality on PC. The PS4 and Xbox One versions may already have the 1920x1080 checkbox ticked, but this PC effort adds a bevy of options to take things further, bringing support for resolutions up to 4K, better effects and broader draw distances. But does it actually run well?

 

And indeed, what does it take to run GTA 5 at 1920x1080 and 60 frames per second, with a mind to match console graphics settings? To answer this, we've tried it with a selection of graphics cards from each price range. At the lowest end of the spectrum we have Nvidia's circa

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
