If 4K@60FPS on one 980 is possible, I think many here have little to worry about. SEEMS well optimized based on some of the latest reports. If you have anything above a 570, 1080p@60FPS seems very possible.

GTA V PC Full Graphics Options Revealed

Seems too good to be true... even if it is well optimized I'd expect SLI would be required to hit those frames in 4K.
Surely it depends entirely on the settings used, if it scales down to near last-gen levels, then it's reasonable.
I've always been curious about what these GPU driver updates atually do for specific games, but I've never asked.
So; What do they do?

Optimize the GPU drivers for the new game?

Well for my setup, they often enable compatibility with SLI.
Mmnyeah.. Of course.. But a little more specific perhaps..............
Like this:
It's great to read that they seem to be taking great care in porting the game over. Are there any tests yet for more modest set-ups? Will there be a benchmark tool in game? I'd hate to succumb to the hype and pre-order a $60 game only to find it chugging like LA Noire or GTA IV.
My PC I've been really happy with for the price, as I'm getting visuals between PS3-PS4 or sometimes better at 1360x768. Max Payne 3 runs great for me on High as does Sleeping Dogs with the High-Res pack, but my quad core AMD cpu doesn't seem great for open world stuff. The GTX 570 a friend gave me has been doing great for my needs which is 720p. Is running GTA V at 720p @30fps a realistic goal or is it going to be dipping into the low 20's (or worse) when racing around like IV did?

Your CPU will perhaps hold you back more than anything. A 570 should more than sufficient at 720p. It can do 1080p on many 2012-2013 games.
What's your CPU ?
Well yeah, I was assuming maxed out though.
Thanks. A10-7800 quad core @ 3.9 Ghz.

That's an interesting read.
I've also read that most GPU drivers actually include more lines of code than a typical OS, not sure if it's true.
Ouch, it won't do miracles.
Your GPU is fine.
I would strongly advise you against pre-ordering.
Glad for the advice. My understanding is certain Rockstar games like Noire and GTA IV chug a little more than they should because they're not optimized for 4 cores. That's why Saints Row IV and Sleeping Dogs I can maintain a full 60fps in most situations. However I agree it may be smarter to wait even though my CPU is stronger than minimum requirements.
It's probably not even possible with two SLI 980s to run 4K maxed out @ 60fps, let alone one.
I read a lot of complaining about IV here back in the day. It actually runs pretty well on my computer, but it does dip to low-to-mid 20's when intentionally stressing it (driving as fast as possible). Maybe I was thinking of what I read about LA Noire and applying it to GTA since it was the same publisher. But regardless it's a reminder that GTA V could be an issue for me regardless of how well it's handled, even though I passmark bench 2x the min.
I'll see if any articles or chatter pop up after release to see if it's worth trying, assuming they don't make a demo or tool like RE6.
La Noire was capped at 30fps. What settings are you using for GTA 4 ? You can make it run very well if you understand what sliders do.
Even a well optimized GTA 5 will not run nearly as good as you think it will, if I were you I would just forget about it until you can afford a gaming CPU.

Why is the a10-7800 not a 'gaming' cpu?
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_a10_7800_kaveri_apu_review,10.html
It should be fine for GTA V, then again it should be fine for GTA IV.
Rockstar has confirmed the release time now at least.

Awesome, a day early! Only 3 days left!

I'm hyped. The game is sitting here and I can't play it
Hopefully I can near max it on my 760 4gb.
Get ready to max it at glorious 720p/30!
Or you can run it at a solid framerate with better detail than the consoles.
Yeeaaaaah! Should have a clear schedule that night.
The game has been demoed on a 980 SLI PC, so yes.
Good, my GTX 690 should take the game easy.
1080p/30 with normal/ high settings should be possible.
Don't forget the PS4 equals a 750ti with a lot of settings which aren't available on pc.

That old workhorse is still getting it done eh?
Hell my GTX 670 is still doing OK, even though I'll need to upgrade it soon enough. Not afraid to mess with settings here

No HBAO+. :/
I hope their HDAO is good enough.

Am I looking at getting 60FPS out of this with decent settings?

It says ShadowWorks and one of the large parts of that is HBAO+
CarbonFire

Eh, it's not like going with Steam lets you bypass Social Club. You'll just get your game updates through Valve rather than Rockstar.
ShadowWorks should have HBAO+
Key Features - HBAO+
- State of the art SSAO (FullScreen, FlickerFree, ArtifactFree)
- Interleaved rendering
- Scalable
- State of the art soft shadows (PCSS, MVSS, ...)
- Support for cascaded shadow maps
- Simple but powerful interface
When a game supports HBAO+ it's clearly stipulated, "shadowworks" here refers only to PCSS I think.
This is my rig too (I only have 8GB of RAM but I doubt that will be too much of a factor) I have my 4670k clocked at 4.4.
I'm hoping for 1080p/30fps maxed or 60fps on cut down settings. Only a few days to go now!
Sweet! Tuesday morning in Australia, and my day off!
There isn't any HBAO+, according to PC gamer here are the shading options:
Soft shadows options: softer, softest, AMD CHS, Nvidia PCSS
Nothing in the option screenshots show HBAO+
It is probably because of PCSS integration.
PC Gamer alluded to "ambient occlusion options" but it's clear enough that we will only have the choice between SSAO and HBAO. :/
The Witcher 3 supports HBAO+ and this is stipulated clearly on the page. Or games supporting both PCSS and HBAO+ like FC4 make that very clear on their page :

Nothing to cry foul about of course. I hope their HDAO/HBAO implementation is solid.
