Grand Theft Auto V Graphics Performance Review

I cant believe the game runs as decent as it does......biggest surprise of 2015.

Hilbert if you do re-test can you find a 750/Ti?
You have closely performing cards to get some idea if you don't but I thought I'd ask.

 

what the **** is wrong with u

 

Good luck with that.

GK110 is old news. Nvidia's focus is on Maxwell since it's where they're making money now.

 

amd on top..nice

 

Its doing very well, i'm glad.

Nice review, HH.

 

Hey there, i've found this oddity with the shadows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0yNx3-gmos (notice how finer shadows appear at a really really close distance). I've found a workaround in the settings.xmp (couldn't find anything ingame that would affect this). T

here are two values <Shadow_SplitZStart value=""> and <Shadow_SplitZEnd value="">, put them both to 1.000000 and it should at least triple the distance for the fine shadows. Now i don't have a clue what the start and end values represent, but it seems to work.

 

Who has a 560 TI 2 GB ? Can you tell me how it runs ! I don't want to waste my money and play in GIF's

 

rofl gifs.. Think you could play with something like medium..

Played at 1680x1050 on low settings.

Not going to play amazing though I don't think. But more than 30fps prob

 

Thanks for the link ... looks like I will hold my purchase until I have a new video card !

 

You might want to look into getting a core i5 as well

I know that I have to change my whole pc ... this has to get me through this year or more ... maybe a year and a half ... i have other thing to pay now

 

Ah well, at least with a gpu upgrade you're looking at something like 30fps min, it'll all be fine

 

Its still more dependable on core clock rather than number of cores. HT isnt helping either.

 

Which is a bit weird since both consoles have 6 cores available for use by games.

Maybe we'll see some improvements later for more than 4 core support.

Still, much better than gta 4s case.

 

Rockstar recommends @ HD 7870 2GB, which also includes the 2GB 7850 because it overclocks ROOB to 1GHz +, stock voltage & cooling... (I have one.) I'd say both the 7870 and 7850 2GB were medium spec. HH probably didn't have a 7870 around, I suppose--anyway, the 78's will be close to the 79's, imo.

 

Yo, the non X 290 is faster in this game than the 780 Ti.

 

Much of the current situation will change with the advent of directx12, imo. For the first time, (D3d12-requiring) games will make much better use of multiple cores than the present status quo of D3d11 and earlier, which emphasize single-core game performance, with multiple-core cpu performance barely touched. A good current example of multiple-core gaming today, among four cores, might be expected to show 80% load on the first core, with the remaining 20% of the work being somewhat unevenly divided among the other three cores, etc. A more likely scenario, though, is 90%+ on the first core, with 10% or less divided among the other three cores. D3d12 games should far more evenly divide the workload among the available cores (at *least* four of them), which means a massive performance improvement--especially for AMD FX cpus & AMD's APUs, for instance, as they routinely do much better against Intel cpus under multiple-core conditions than single-core. The APIs are fundamentally advancing in what should really be a fairly large jump--hard to believe it's taken this long to properly support multiple-core gpus & cpus inside the APIs!

Intel looks better now in gaming performance because of that single-core bottleneck in the APIs; this should change, possibly substantially, when the new API D3d12 & OpenGL (5.x?) games begin to arrive. Performance should ratchet up substantially compared to what we've been conditioned to expect until now. It'll be interesting to watch, and hopefully, great fun!...
