Grand Theft Auto V

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Anybody available in the Crew to have some online fun?

Maybe later tonight, first club racing!

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

If thats you machine in you sig and not a shopping list, youll be able to play it maxed out! No problems at all mate.

Dont forget to grab the new driver thats has just been released today and youll be smokin!

Meh, I ain't able to max it! Too little VRAM (8GB) ^^.

 

[AndrewBo]

It is finally on my HD. Max vid settings. HD 7970 3gb. All good. Has somebody got a manual for me? Because I have dl it from Rockstar directly, there is no manual ava. Cheers, Andrew

Max vid settings. HD 7970 3gb. All good.

What? O.o When I max my settings, I use 8100 mb VRAM! O.o

I am using the AMD Monitor program GPU Tweak from AMD itself. In there you can set the GC to *Gaming*. Well, the GC gets a bit hot....90 Celcius, but thats okay. Using 89 % of the vram. also I have installed the new Beta from AMD, espec. made for GTA 5.

Free Advertising when you win street races @Bram Hengeveld . Especially for you

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Only if RD Crew is the main Crew though!
It comes up every time you win something

Yeah but it is nicer to have it after winning a race
I had a race where the first section was straight only. But combine that with 20 cars, of which probably 18 never raced in any race game before and turn one will be total immense chaos

 

[AndrewBo]

Well, I just played a round of Golf, after that I had a race in my porsche, then captured a Blimb and made a Spacejump into a swimmingpool. Live is good to me today.

 

[Ricoow]

yeah I already ordered more 4gb, I hope the postnl is enough fast and I get it tomorrow

I never had problems with them

Are you kidding?

 

[Ricoow]

90 Celcius, but thats okay.

Most AMD cards go in safe mode after 95C. I would recommend better cooling
Mine never reached over 65C in full Battlefield Hardline action maxed out.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Are you kidding?

I wish I was. Decided to go from MSAA x8 to MSAA x4 (without nVidia TXAA), so I could max everything else (including density, variation, shadows, textures, and the scaling/shadows on advanced graphics

With MSAA x8 I push the VRAM limit, so I have only around 30mb to spare, which leads to some serious framedrops and the random crash

Ahh well, I have 2G of memory free, but I suppose my GPU Clock speed is not good enough to use highest quality textures
Playing on all settings High, no AA, 1080p on a Laptop is pretty nice as well right ?

Never thought to check RAM usage yesterday, but it's extreme on VRAM! I cannot max it out with my 980 SLI due to lack of VRAM. Saving up for TITAN SLI?

I don't always buy into that but it depends on the resolution you're playing at. A lot of games will cache as much video memory as you give them to use but doesn't mean they'll actually use that much memory. I believe Call of Duty Advanced Warfare was like that, using a video card with 8GB of memory, it would cache up to 7GB in video memory but the game never actually required that much video memory and ran just the same with 3GB of video memory. Unless you're running the game at 4K resolution with all of the bells and whistles, I just don't know that its using as much video memory as it might seem.

I need 2 more levels in online, level 10 in the crew for an RD logo on my car, and level 11 for myself so I can get a GT Wing for my Feltzer. Car is really looking bad ass GT style then. Currently level 9 in both, will show it when finished.

It looks like this is a common issue, especially with laptops. You have to disable the integrated graphics, and that should fix it.

Found on Rockstar Support:

GTA 5 PC Intel + AMD/Nvidia GPUs (laptops mostly) FIX!!

Someone found out how to fix the problem that prevent GTA from launching on Steam once you click on "play" (process starts and closes right away).

This is the video.

• You have to disable the GPU performance launch the game, then Rockstar Social Club will start and you can launch the game.
• Then in the video he closes the game by ending the process in the task manager, which leaves Rockstar Social Club open.
• Then he enables the GPU performance again.
• Then he can play GTA 5 with his GPU performance finally.

Conclusion: GTA 5/Rockstar Social Club doesn't launch with the two GPUs enabled. It's a bug happening only in this game.


Found in the net:
If your game does not open on an Intel laptop, follow these instructions:
o For Nvidia:
1. Open Device Manager.
2. Go to Display Adapters.
3. Disable Nvidia Device.
4. Start the game launcher.
5. Reenable Nvidia Card. You need to do this while the launcher is up but not after the full game has loaded.

o For AMD:
1. Open Device Manager.
2. Go to Display Adapters.
3. Disable Intel Device.

Well, well, well, finally!

It was about time we could play GTA V on PC. I won't go back in the debate "should GTA be in this forums?" that animated the threads recently. I fully understand why people would not like to see it on this website, but my opinion is biased since I love this type of game. Personally I'm glad it's here, and I'm glad to know I'll be able to share time with the great community in here, with something a bit different, and potentially very fun!

After a tedious install from the 7 CDs, a long download of the 5 Go patch, and a complex adjustment of the graphic settings, I could have the game ready for some smooth and pleasant gaming! I love it already, it's so immersive.

I can't wait to join the RD gang of thugz and get involved in an official RD event.
See you soon in Los Santos, guys!
