Grand Theft Auto V - PC

I don't want to be one of those chops who post their pc specs and asks if it will work, but is it *possible* for this to run at a playable fps on a 512mb card at 1080(I don't mind for the lowest settings possible, just resolution)?
 
I'm playing on High and Normals and the game runs smoothly, not preferably smoothly as there is a stutter every so now and again, but I get at least +-40 - 60 FPS on average.

Playing in first person in SP and MP. Fun times are being had. :)

I give up for now. I can't play the game longer than 15-20 mins before it starts to stutter/freeze. Hopefully R* patches this soon.

xD lol

Yeah had to get in a bit of game time.

I'm really enjoying the game, just my lack of time in the real world that is keeping me from putting in any serious time with the game.

Edit: Well I decided to do a clean install on my pc, restored the game and boom...no saved game found even though steam syncs with the cloud...

So epic :(

I gave in and got the game from GMG now. Didn't realise it wasn't a steam key and for some reason my internet is extremely slow at the moment. Probably only gonna get to play this in a week at the speed it's going now.
 
Hi Guys,

I dont suppose anyone in the Durban area has a steam backup of this i can copy? This thing is going to take ages to download :(

heh, ran the Geforce experience optimizer and the stutter seems to be gone mostly.

I applied the GeForce Exp optimal settings, but dialed it back just a little bit. My game seemed to have frame drops too often (not stutter, just a noticeable slow down).
Wonder if I should blame my 970's VRAM >.>
 
GTA 5 PC CPU usage reduction solution:

Is your GTA 5 CPU usage going mad? This tip could give you back 25% of precious processing power.

Some players are still struggling with crash issues and there are various problems which still need to be resolved but perhaps this tip from Goftrey could help some people out.

After noticing that the CPU was struggling and becoming frustrated with stuttering issues, especially when driving, Goftrey decided to see what was causing such a strain on the CPU (i3-4150 and a GTX 660 were in the PC).

It transpired that the Grand Theft Auto V Launcher in the task manager was chewing up 25% of the CPU. To see what would happen, the Grand Theft Auto V Launcher was closed down in the Windows task manager and immediately more CPU juice is available for the actual game. So to put it simply…

ALT-TAB out of the game, open up the Task Manager, close down the Grand Theft Auto V Launcher and then return to the game.

ALT-TABing out may cause a crash but it’s worth a shot to see if it improves performance for you. Some users are also suggesting increasing the GTAV.exe to high priority in the task manager so you could try these methods together and see what you get.

So far we have been quite lucky here and not experienced any major tech issues with the game and crashing but hopefully Rockstar will get a few fixes out to resolve some of these problems.

If you want to know what we think of the PC version make sure you check our PC port impressions piece where we tested the game on two very different systems.

Edit: Hello, Peter here, just breaking into Paul’s story. I’ve tried this out myself because I’m still using an older i3-2100 processor (paired with 8GB and a 2GB 7870.) The CPU usage was definitely a bottleneck in the port impressions linked above, and closing the GTA 5 launcher after loading up helps a lot.

I’m talking an immediate 10-12fps boost across the board. That launcher must be seriously bloated

I've noticed there are quite a few people complaining about the frame drop on the 970. Hopefully Rockstar addresses the issue in the next patch.

Can we play golf/tennis against each other? We need to start a tournament over a weekend.

The game eats a lot of Vram even @ 1080P I can max my 4GB memory.
Mate of mine tried running with 2x980 @4k maxed and the cards cried like bitches lol
