I think it was roughly a month ago that on Amzon the the first release date of GTA V appeared, after which it was quickly removed. However, it happened again.Â*According to Amazon, GTA V will be relea...

Nice, were looking at a few months to the release of the game!

Sadly the pc version of the game is likely to come out several months after...

Wonder if they plan on leaking sli compatibility.

Would be neat...aye.

using the consoles as betas for our superior release isn't too bad

Let em test the games first so we can have a better product later...

+1 But I'm sure after 4 years as of now(GTA4 Dec/08) they have learned and hopefully all the advancements in Technology will help it too.. Although bad port will be a bad port.

I'm sure they have a better hang of their engine now.

GTA San Andreas Gameplay + GTA IV Graphics = GTA V

The PC version of Max Payne 3 was fantastic. They really made a lot of improvements on the PC version of RAGE.

If the PC version of GTA V runs as well (and looks as good) as the PC version of Max Payne 3 then I think it will go well.

I really hope that Rockstar will take care about the PC version this time. GTA IV was a disaster though a great game. I bought Max Payne 3 on the release but was only able to play it only a few months ago with the last update. Me and 2 of my mates have bought the game but none of us could play due to numerous faults.Mates got lucky and could play after 3 or 4 months as their update finally fixed theirs game, but I spent hours sending emails to Rockstar support, reinstaling my system and of course downloading 25+GB with no results.I hate consoles so much after this experience and for the fact that they are holding up PC graphics..

Don't we all! However, Rockstar did a pretty good job with Max Payne 3. It's quite well optimized even with NO patches...

I completed the entire game from start to finish with ZERO problems & ZERO lag.

I got an average of 77 fps & the highest of 117 fps, cannot complain here...

With regards to GTA IV. It WAS & still IS a disaster & runs like cr@p.

Hopefully Rockstar will learn from their previous mistake & make a proper port which runs as it should.

At least make SLI/Crossfire compatible!

Don't know what everyone's crying about. I run GTA IV maxed out @ 1080p and it's beautiful and really smooth. If you haven't got the hardware to run it, you haven't got the hardware to run it. Deal with it.

Yeah, now you do. But not at launch day.

Runs like a complete dog on my setup. I suppose we might have a different definition of "smooth".

That will be your cpu. Weak and inadequate.

@mw8t: Oh yeah, an i7 950 @ 4GHz is oh so weak...

FYI, there is absolutely no CPU bottleneck with this game, Mr. "i5 3570K".

It's a moody game. And runs bad on an HD7970 w/ 3770K, both of which are more powerful than your GTX660Ti & i5 3570K.

R* proved that they can port console game to PC with Max Payne 3. Also if its the same(improved) version of the engine, then they should know really well now. Hopefully it will be well optimized. Will be getting PS3 and PC version either way

what a load of BS you're talking.
could you run it at launch in 2008?

Well I have everything maxed including phys-x and the game is butter smooth. The visuals are jaw dropping. Got to laugh at all the haters with their inadequate systems blaming the game

Ahem, indeed we do, indeed we do.

Gta iv ran terribly, it runs and look pretty acceptable for me now on medium settings.

V might run better simply because it's the same engine. At least it has to be better than iv was on release.

only question is... what did they cut from the game to reduce development time and will end up as a 20$ DLC later on?

how long did renderware last? wait don't some devs still use it? Anyway this will be the case. R* will develop many games on this engine that's for sure.

Stop being a toss,
On my system which is a touch more up there than yours, GTA4 still runs like utter crap. Its an highly unoptimized game, and its pure luck going from pc to pc if it'll run at 60+ on max settings @ 1080p.

Pull your head in and stop pissing on other people pc's.

He obviously isn't running it properly maxed out like he claims. I'm really sure he has all the render setings set to 100

(if anyone knows the sheer BS that Rockstar tried to claim behind these settings they'll know what I'm talking about).

GTA IV is woefully bad performance wise, and the memory management subsystem is grossly inadequate. I'm not sure of what the maximum memory usage will be on the GPU side if you properly max eveyrthing out, but it's probably beyond the 3GB that some video cards have on them.

Now, that brings us back to another point. 32-bit game! It simply isn't well designed considering the memory requirements of those settings and the fact it's 32-bit. It would be nice of course if GTA V came in 64-bit only if they have similar memory requirements. 32-bit only people can't really complain, because if they run 32-bit Windows, it pretty much means they either don't have (or can't) make use of more than 4GB of RAM+GPU memory total, which would be inadequate to run the game anyway! and they are probably trying to run it on inadequate hardware too.

The best thing Rockstar could do, and they probably won't, is to make the game 64-bit only, which will absolute definitely make performance/graphics better! (especially since you could use say, 14GB system RAM and 3GB of Video Ram for some systems, not the measly 3 or 4GB (Large Address Aware) total system+video RAM that a 32-bit app can make use of).

On a computer with 8GB of RAM, it still means you can make use of up to 7GB system RAM and say 2GB video RAM (9GB total), and on 4GB systems you can make use of 3GB system RAM and 1GB video RAM, still more than what you could do on a 32-bit system.

Previous 64-bit games (of which there are very few) weren't optimised for the 64-bit versions. You won't get a 40 percent framerate increase, but in terms of making use of memory, and having better textures and performance because of the extra memory, then yes, 64-bit would be greatly beneficial, at least if it is even remotely done properly!
