agreed

i kind of wanna get a gtx 970 but wasnt there some memory fuckup

There was an issue with 4 GB GTX 980s if you went over 3.5 GB VRAM usage, if memory serves. As far as I'm aware, the lower RAM cards don't have that problem.

it's the 970s not the 980s

oh well disregard everything I said then. If I got the card model wrong, I'm probably wrong about everything else :v:

I want to get some heists going later tonight/this week. I've got the apartment and cash. Anybody else down?

I'm sort of considering getting a second 970 but I guess it might just be better to get a 980 and go from there.

the last 512MB are on a half-bandwidth backplane so if you absolutely max poo poo out there may be some bad performance there

760 is running this just fine, but i cant max out the texture detail or shadows. it still looks really loving good despite that

like they went in and face-lifted every tiny little thing about the GTA4 engine

I have a GTX 960. I bought it a month before they started bundling The Witcher 3 with it. Told Amazon I didn't get a key with my purchase, and they credited my account $65. Bought GTA 5 and Pillars of Eternity with that money. :smug:

Can't max out settings on it due to VRAM limitations, but it handles everything on Very High just fine.

Teh memory thing in 970 basically doewsnt matter. I have 960 and its not good enough. I need to max everything. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. The low vram hurts. I need to get a job and make big bucks.

Spend 15 minutes waiting for a mission to start in GTAO, take two steps, then it marks everybody as the loser. The gently caress?

Vsync was limiting my game at 30 instead of 60 for some reason and that was on "full" not "half"

The holy AMD drivers that supposedly fix the stuttering are gonna take 2 hours to download.

I found somewhere else to download. AMD must be getting hammered the useless cunts.

if anyones worried about messing up the game with the pre-order bonus money, very early on there is a bank heist mission that you get a couple 100k from so it's not really a huge deal.

For anyone having trouble with stuttering, install the drat drivers. Makes a world of difference and I'm able to crank everything up some now.
