I wish my 660 Ti had more than 1.5GB of VRAM, would be nice to have even the PS4 textures without freezing every few seconds despite the 70FPS

Does the custom radio randomize the tracks in your folder or does it begin with the same song on your list every time you turn it on and play them in order?

Just bought the game on Amazon. Download was absolutely roaring for the first few minutes (relative for my connection at least), 4-5 hours to complete. Then I got disconnected and it jumped up to 15 hours. Then I paused and resumed and it's back to 4 hours :shrug:

I'm sick at home all day so babysitting this thing won't exactly be an issue anyway

edit: I keep having to pause/resume this dumb thing. I had a pile of gift cards to use, otherwise I don't recommend buying it on Amazon based on the speeds I'm seeing.

edit 2: 25% done in exactly an hour. Time to completion still reads 9 hours :confused:

Has anybody with a 560 or 560ti played this yet? My friend is interested but can't upgrade at the moment.

I am. I'm running a solid 30 fps at 1080p with textures on high and everything else on various medium settings. I'm still fiddling with settings though.

You can set it in options to random, sequential and radio. I imagine it goes in order from filename, but the game reads metadata too which is a nice touch. I wouldn't mind separate playlists but what we got works perfectly well.

Still waiting on screens of mid day, bright sun, driving down a road at speed. This is when the console versions start to show their console-ness with the textures and AA. The sunsets and weather in this game do an awesome job of hiding all that stuff, not that I mindthat..... I still have to stop and take in how amazing these sunsets look on the console version

I have to back up whoever said this game is well optimized. I honeslty expect most PC games to be like Watchdogs in terms of working. I have a really good GPU but a very out dated motherboard and processor that I'm going to upgrade this year and I was able to run everything on their highest settings and the only time I noticed a stutter was when I was driving.

And I haven't played this game since PS3 and man is playing in first person a blast.

Yeah I have a 660 and I've just learned to deal with the soft, blurry textures. I cranked up all the other settings to Very High and it still runs smooth. I don't care/don't want to know my FPS because I'll probably feel inadequate even though I can't really tell the difference. Game plays great, I'm satisfied with my setup, not in any big hurry to upgrade.

wolrah: May 8, 2006; what?

cat doter posted:

It's likely using system memory past 4gb, but you'd be surprised how little this actually matters. Shadow of Mordor is a good example of a game that runs just fine using system memory for the massive textures.

On my pair of 970s I left the main "Graphics" page as it was other than jacking up the AA to 4xMSAA + TXAA settings and setting 144Hz mode without VSync. I then cranked up the Advanced Graphics page sliders as far as they go and the game tells me it's using 6312/8192MB.

nVidia Inspector tells me that in game both of my GPUs are hitting 3512MB and plateauing there.

I thought initially that the memory usage display was just doubled on SLI systems to show the actual usage, but it looks like it really is "swapping" to system memory after it hits the 970's wall.

Benchmark results at these settings:

Frames Per Second (Higher is better) Min, Max, Avg

Zaphod42: Sep 13, 2012; If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Anybody new to GTA Online: Most of the weapons introduced in content updates have no rank restrictions. The sawed off shotgun is available at level 1 and costs $0. GO GET IT. There's also several high powered rifles and pistols available for pretty cheap that you otherwise wouldn't have access to until much higher rank. Grab that poo poo and you'll stand a much better chance against other players.

drat GTA Online is fun poo poo. Servers feel a little slow to get poo poo going but once it is, its a loving blast. And there's so much to do! :dance:

I have not had any major issues with my 660ti considering how old it is. I used the nvidia experience thing to optimize the settings, then bumped down shadow/reflection/grass quality in game. Works great with very high textures even though that uses more vram than it thinks I should be using.

To anyone that has the problem where you get an appcrash error when you try to start any mode ("Grand Theft Auto V has stopped working...)": Redownloading and reinstalling the entire game from scratch fixed that issue for me. Did it overnight while I slept, and it worked perfectly when I woke up this morning.

Current-gen SSD. i5-4690, 32GB RAM, GTX970 4GB. No other game so much as hiccups.
