I committed that sin too. I swore off all Pre ordering after the disastrous year that was 2014. But Rockstar's extreme confidence in GTA V running well on systems like mine and knowing who handled bringing it to PC made me give them a chance and pulled the trigger a few days ago. I'm still extremely way of any pre-ordering and holding up my decision not to do it, with very few exceptions.

I went with the GMG deal for $46.79. Didn't see any reason to pay more for extra drm.

No, but paying more money for absolutely no good reason is.

I opted for the steam version after seeing these downloading issues with everyone else.
I guess I'll just buy one less game in the next few months to cover the difference.

There isn't anything wrong with it. Some of us just chose not to. Although, you're right about the downloading, heh. I'm going anywhere from 6.4kb/s to 4 mb/s.
I would have expected a solid speed by today. The morning after the preload released in the UK, I downloaded the last 40GB at 4MB/s constant from RSC.
Wouldn't the speeds be the worst at this time though? It's super close to release and it's a weekend so most people have time to go on the computer and dl.

Eh, I wouldn't call the convenience Steam provides in consolidating and updating all your games across multiple machines with a single login "no good reason".
I just don't mind launching games from different launchers. Which means that convenience isn't worth as much to me as saving $13 on my triple dip.

They are supporting 3D Vision out of the gate, if that is what you mean.

So my i5 4690k won't bottle neck me running this on very high/ultra? I assume my 980 and 8gb ram is enough but i still worry about my i5. I have a i7 3770k sitting in this x51 i bought couple years back but im always afraid i will break it trying to get it out.If an i5 3470 @ 3.2GHz and a GTX 660 2GB can get 60fps @ 1080p on high.
I can definitely go very high (or ultra, whatever you want to call it) with my i7 4770k @ 4.2GHz and a GTX Titan SC @ 1440p.
Suck it Qassim.
I hope :|

Triple dipping as well and went for it at 50% off on Nuuvem ($30).
I agree Steam is great, I have over 200 games on my Steam account. However, with the type of DRM GTA V uses, you still have to login to Rockstar Social Club to access the game, friends, multiplayer, etc. Just wasn't worth it to me, personally.
If the Steam version used Steam DRM in lieu of Rockstar Social Club, I'd have gladly payed the full $60.
Save some money, get an MSI 970. Mines been nothing but stellar

I had this game on PS3/PS4. Not sure whether I should get it again or not. Never did play GTA online though so not sure if it's worth it.

If you have a powerful enough PC to enjoy the advantages then it's a no brainer.
Why MSI? Didn't those have lot's of issues? I had the Gigabyte and it was stellar but I got it refunded because of the 3.5Gb. Added 80 pounds and got a 980 and it has served me quite well, well worth the added extra.

If I were to get it I would be playing it on a laptop with a 970m. This one specifically:

No idea how it would run though I've never had a problem playing anything on it before
I'm not sure about issues, mines been brilliant but that's just me xD. The 980 hasn't got much on the 970. I guess the RAM thing is a big deal though I had forgotten about that.

There is a population slider in Graphics. I guess it affects traffic.
Man, this game burns through VRAM. Might be making a good case for me to upgrade to SLi TitanX.
4k ramps up VRAM consumption but GTA 5 is not an outlier.

I got up to like 50gb today and it lost connection to some weird screen then resumed at like 10gb and i about throw my computer out the window. It's at 38.27gb right now so hopefully it finishes in the next 5 hours before i go to bed. I hate this installer, it takes me literally an hour to download 40-50gb games through origin/steam and even bnet.
Yeah I have the MSI Gamer 970, and it's amazing. Custom bios taken it to 1560mhz core 3950mhz memory. Extremely quiet. Some games I can run without the fan even on. Peaks at 69c.

Not to mention 8xMSAA just for the reflections...
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS
I keep opening the game full well knowing I'll be greeted by a timer because "just in case" lol
Already made my steam BPM launcher too.

Never mind, I took a look at the forums and now I don't even know if that person is a Rockstar employee, so welp.

Downloaded mine in a 2.5 hour period. In fact my entire bandwidth was fully saturated the entire time. Then again it was after midnight when I did this.
I'm in the process of doing this now. I currently have 2x 680s (2GB) in SLI. SLI compatibility issues are driving me crazy, so I ordered a 970 to hold me over until the 980Ti or AMD 300 series.

Nah, the time for his post was a few hours earlier today. The time will be the same for everyone; 4pm PST, 7pm EST, 12a London.
Can't wait. Have my exit interview at work at 3:30pm PST (start a new job Tuesday), and will be heading straight home to play some glorious GTA V on PC.
Yeah, I realised that moments after I posted and edited accordingly.
I have a dilemma, if anyone can help me figure this out.
I want to play with mouse and keyboard for precision aiming, but I want pressure sensitive acceleration in vehicles.
Do you think that an ok version would be to have a steering wheel with pedals plugged in and then just switch to them when I'm in a car; or having just the pedals for acceleration; or having a 360 controller on the table that I would grab when I get into a car?
Does anyone have a similar setup for any other games?

I asked about this earlier, too. Apparently GTAIV allowed you to alternate between 360 pad and kb/m on the fly, so hopefully that should be do-able again. That's my plan.

How much more VRAM does 4K use compared to 1080p if the detail settings are the same?
finalflame
Member
It'll vary, but you're probably looking at a 80-200%+ increase in VRAM usage. If not more, especially with things like AA and advanced shadow tech.

Ok. So 4GB should be enough for 1080p
finalflame

Depends. MSAA, population density, texture, shader, and shadow quality will all have impacts on memory usage. Especially MSAA if you crank it up really high.
But yah, generally speaking, you'll be aight.

Ha, just noticed they have MSAA options for reflections. I guess as long as I keep the game at 1080p with 2x or no MSAA and some other settings toned down, VRAM usage should be fine for a 2GB card.
This is my style though for GTA5 my ds4 and with ds4windows tweaks will be doing the lifting.
Odd glitch about GTA4 certain copies required you to a controller or disable cores to finish the final chase mission at certain points.
This is very doable and instant so it's not necessarily switching you can have both active. dead serious I plan on reconfiguring my whole left side of the pad for driving and aiming with the mouse some of them early missions and we all know a certain one involving a boat will be infinitely than using one setup vs two.
I don't mind the style best of both universes.

I've played quite a bit of the PS4 version, but I'm kind of on the fence as whether to continue with playing on the PS4 or go for the PC. I have an i5 3570k at 4.2ghz with 2 670 cards. I really hope that I can get 1080p/60fps with that set-up with similar or better graphics than the PS4 version.
Should run very well I think. You could easily overclock the CPU and GPU more.
