The higher the GPU/CPU utilization the better. Why buy a powerful GPU/CPU if you're only going to use half of its power? Just look out for temps, and you'll be fine.

I am.
Every thing maxed 4K DSR I'm getting over 40fps constantly.
Two Titan X's @ 1475/8200
i dont know when encoding my 4770 can get up to 85c temps and its been working fine for me. Game usage though i dont think ive hit 70 yet. Havent played gta though.
How much supersampling? 2x2?

Intel Haswell-E 5820k OC'd to 4.3GHz
16GB DDR4 3000
2x GTX 970's in SLI
Every single game option max'd except FXAA is on instead of MSAA. Running at 1080p.
Rock solid 60fps in the city, no issues whatsoever.
I drove around the countryside, however, and I'm getting dips into the low 40's.

Here is the video I uploaded of the benchmark on my machine. I recorded it using ShadowPlay, which seems to have a 5-15 frame hit on my framerate during the benchmark.
System Configuration:
i7 5820K @4.3Ghz
SLI GTX 970s
16 GB DDR4 Ram
Game is installed on a Crucial MX100 512 GB SSD

GTX 980 4GB SC'ed
i7 3770k OC'ed
Win. 7 Ultimate
8GB RAM
Everything maxed, 1080p, framerate bounces from 48-60fps with V-Sync on
Without V-Sync I hit 70 at the max.
Overall, pretty well done port, especially for Rockstar.

The video editor is just as great as I hoped.

i cant seems to choose higher resolution than 1080p..
im using the latest nvidia game ready driver, supposed to support dsr for gta v..

In this game not much. Iq isnt much better than the fxaa in consoles in terms of jaggies
DSR not working here either.
So, I think reflection MSAA was causing the drops. Didn't realize I had that set to 8X. Dropped to 4X and it's running much, much better. Staying at a locked 60 99% of the time now although I'll have to see if the frame rate holds up at different times of day.
My settings now are 4XMSAA (regular and reflection), Nvidia PCSS shadows, and everything else is maxed.
Specs - GTX980, i7 5930K stock, and 32GB RAM

That's interesting. I remember when I was playing the 360 version on release, I noticed the framerate to be much worse in the country than it was in the city....which made little sense
It's a bit surprising you didn't get a solid 60 even with 2x Titan X.
Although if you're DSR-ing to 1080p you probably don't need supersampling.
Got a similar rig, swap out the 4690k for a 4670k and you're there. It's locked at 59fps with occasional dips down to 50, a bit of stuttering, but I've also damn-near maxed it out. Could definitely drop some options a bit.

For whatever reason the new nVidia GTA V Game-Ready drivers resets your DSR back to default (which is "off"). I had to go back into the nVidia CP to re-enable DSR

Holy FUCK. The difference from IV to V on PC is ridiculous.
This thing is optimized. I have one of those fabled 970's that have "4GB" of GDDR5. I still can't play Lords of the Fallen without it crashing. Modern console ports drop below 60 when I run 1080p/60 on highest settings, but this game is a fucking dream right now.
I should mention I am running the Rockstar launcher version with the nVidia drivers just before the new ones. Installing the new one and hoping to crank everything to max.
Also, when I exited GTAV, my GPU temp was 67C. Normally it spikes to 78C with modern AAA games.
EDIT: 16GB RAM, i5 3.4GHz, Win 7

The optimization on this game is INCREDIBLE. 660ti 2 GB and i5 2500, 8 GB RAM, I'm getting 55-60 FPS at 1080p with high textures, high shader, high shadow, no MSAA reflections, very high water, high parcticles, ultra grass, smooth shadows, very high post, very high tesselation, ambient occlusion on, FXAA, no MSAA, vsync, poblation density maxed out, poblation variety sigthly turned down, scaling distance maxed out. And I still have to play more with the settings, maybe I can get it even higher. I get 2286 / 2047 VRAM MB used but it doesn't have any problems with it.
I consider this to be absolutely amazing and worth the wait.

Well I found my crashes. When I got my SSD I disabled page file completely. Not good enough for gtaV and 8gigs of ram. This is the first game that forces me to use a page file. Put t on my mechanical and I see the committed RAM go to 8.7gigs with nothing else running. Just the game and windows. Sigh.
Good enough I guess. Now I just have to deal with a floaty mouse and massive stuttering in the menus. It didn't do this before I used the geforce experience. It really hosed up my settings. Going to have to mess with this tomorrow.
So far a little rough for me.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
I'm streaming this to an 8" tablet with an XB1 controller and I'm floored! The shadows!

Rad, I'm glad to hear that. Have you ventured to the countryside, yet? I have been hearing about some slowdown out there. Thx for the reply btw!

i5-2500k @ 4.0 ghz
GTX 970
8GB RAM
1080p, everything maxed except no MSAA, all detail scales at full and I'm getting a mostly locked 60fps experience. Dips down to low 50's while driving. Lowest I've seen was like 45fps standing near a tall building under construction with all sorts of detail.
The FXAA in this game is very light, still some noticeable jaggies, but I dont want to turn MSAA on. Also if I drop shadows from Nvidia PCSS to "Softest" it lessens the FPS dips, stays much closer to 60fps.
Without vsync I'm seeing up to 80-90 FPS depending on the area.
Seems optimized pretty well. However the keyboard controls are AWFUL. I really wanted to play with mouse and KB for 1st person but it just plays better with a controller.

Aw shit. How are you streaming it?
30 FPS with a 970? You are doing it wrong...turn down the MSAA and enjoy that sweet 60fps.

Yeah fxaa is more than sufficient when you downsample from 4k. There's no way even 2 of those can run 4k60 with heavy aa for a game like this
So upon reinstalling I noticed something....
The installer defaulted to my C: drive, which is not where I have my games. Something like C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V. I took a look at that path and a Social Club folder was included in Rockstar Games complete with a bunch of items.
On the previous install I chose a different drive, and placed it under my generic directory. I didn't have a folder named Grand Theft Auto V. It looked something like x:\games\grand theft auto v files.
I don't think I had any of the Social Club stuff either. So this time I copied what was in that C:\ path over to the other drive. I created a blank Grand Theft Auto V folder. Game is in process of re downloading now. I clicked the shortcut on my desktop and it to shows the correct path on the new drive.
Lawd pls...let this be what the issue was. 50+ more GB to go ;___;

Nah, not yet. Just been sticking to the city. It's damn pretty though.
I have a 3570k @ 4.4GHz with a 970 G1 and 8GB ram
Everything to Very High except shadows set to High and Softer and MSAA to 2X, getting 60FPS 99.9% of the time
I'm not done playing around with settings, but this is what I've currently sacrificed to get a smooth 60 fps.
I'm using:
i5-3570k @ 3.4GHz
GTX 670 4GB
8GB RAM
I'm not sure if everything is ideal yet. I kinda want to have tessellation set to high, but it hovers in the 50s while driving when I turn it up from normal.

Get a solid 40fps at 4k with everything up except msaa off. Not bad. (single 980, i7-2600k).
