Any chance of comparison shots of TAA/MSAA at the various settings? This game looks bad for how it's performing.

"The map can be zoomed out with the mouse wheel, but zoom speed is incredibly slow, requiring crazy mouse wheel spinning to give you an overview"

How such an obvious problem can go unnoticed??? the amount of laziness and Incompetency of these big, rich, crappy developers is just unbelievable. small and indie developers put much more effort and passion in developing games these days.
People have shown a willingness to accept poor quality products and even pay for beta gameplay. I expect it to continue until the majority stop enabling such practices.

Windows 7 has some DX12 features. It was added-in by Microsoft. There's even Microsoft Edge which works well on Windows 7.

Vulkan. ..Windows 7

Vulkan ... Linux. Should be quite easy to get it run with wine, unless it have some horrible drm.

Not really. It was done on a “by game” basis, with so far as I know, only Blizzard taking up Microsoft on the extra work, and only for Warcraft.

Dunno about that, I.E. Strange Brigade had a rough start with Vulkan vs DX12(Vulkan runs that game much better now). And at the guru3d test vulkan runs game the same or a bit higher fps than dx12:

NO GAME currently on the market should need a 9900k and a 2080Ti. This is poor optimization

For those commenting about the 1060 3GB, people buying it back in 2016-2017 didn't have too many choices, cryptomining made everything else unaffordable.


I had a great impression of the game at first, Chapter 1, no lag issues, the 1060 6GB was handling it great, it had some preset setting that was a mix of ultra and high. Then I got to chapter 2. It got a hell of a lot more laggy with all the greenery.

Really wish DX11 was an option.

Been running high texture low everything else except medium water because low water produces this weird flashing effect, that just about gives me 60 FPS average with 1440P but sadly there are occasionally hang ups, where the game just stops for a second or two. Game still looks good for me, I don't mind games at lower settings as long as it can run smooth at this resolution. It mostly does except for when it doesn't, and it just hangs paused for a second or two like its going to crash. That happens sometimes when riding through town, or even looking at the gun store catalog. Also if you lower textures below high all the faces turn to pixel mud and things such as playing cards become unrecognizable.

GTA IV was kind of a mess on PC release too.

GTA V seemed fine by comparison, I had that when it released with just a 3770K and 770 2GB and it ran it pretty well at 1080P, not much drops, crashes, hangs.

Thankfully page up and page down zoom the map.

I’m not gonna go thru 4+ pages but people seem forget that both GTA4 and 5 were PC crushers on release, now granted 4 was just poorly done but 5 definitely needed a generation to be fully put to max.

..a moment of silence for invidia..
:D
Why? Some recent games have been tuned for AMD, yet Nvidia plays better. It has always been so, that the two trade back and forth with which brands GPU generally do better in different games.

CPU results from overclock 3D, "playable" on a 2c/4t CPU but clearly likes a 6c or 4c/8t CPU for smooth game play. More cores and threads don't seem to add much past that.

Seems like a 4 Core processor perfectly enough. I did not even wanted to buy more than 4 Cores processor, but 6 Core was the minimum by AMD.

Really not had any problems at all. Maybe I just got lucky, running it ultra wide and it hasn't fluctuated from 60. Not sure what the issues are that others are having but hope you get to experience how it's meant to be soon.

Enjoyed the game on my PS4, wanted to complete the game the second time as I didn't do all the activities, but the poor frame rate and the lack of a good fast travel option held me back.
Will definitely be playing this at some point, but I guess I should not even bother with a 7300HQ and 1060 6Gb Max-Q? :D WIll have to wait till a have a desktop once again.

I have the Ryzen 9 3800X, now with four disabled and four active Cores I have higher frequency and higher performance in this game. Pretty neat I am hitting 4.5GHZ

I can say this has stopped my freezing issues. However, 1.15 patch was installed as well so I can't say for sure enabling async was what did it but that would be my prime suspect.
It would have reset it with the patch ;) check for yourself

The patch had already installed before I made xml change. :(

I would be willing to bet that it was async that made the difference. The patch notes looked like mostly ctd fixes but I only skimmed the notes.

Hey I’m using it too I’m just saying it resets all the settings post patch. You’ll probably have to go back and redo the XML edit

I just meant that the patch had already installed before I made the change so I wouldn't know if it was reset.

I am willing to bet that the setting change is what fixed the freezing vs the patch notes.

So has this game improved much on the technical side since the PC launch? Thinking I'll just wait till next Xmas to get it when newer hardware is out being it's not even hitting 60fps at 1440p on a 5700XT, and I have an ultrawide. I don't wanna ruin the experience.
