it took 574 days or one year 6 months
and 28 days after the initial console release for Rockstar to release GTA5 on
PC was it worth the wait stay tuned to find out and stay subscribed for our GTA
6 video coming in 202 or
something Intel's new 750 series ssds
utilize the NVMe standard providing speeds never seen before on consumer
storage drives click now to learn more I'm going to spoil the ending a bit
GTA 5 runs really well on PC definitely
better than I actually expected but I guess that's what we get in exchange for
all those delays the settings menu is nothing short of Glorious with a whack
ton of options and scaling available memory bar based on the options it
doesn't fail to please the feel the view settings could definitely be better but
realistically the game wasn't designed to be played in first person so I don't
think this was really the end of the world the settings under the advanced
menu have the potential to push your system very hard and mostly don't have a
massive impact on actual gameplay viewability and whatnot so I suggest not
messing with this too much unless you have a beast system one more note on
settings before we move on msaa above 2x can be quite taxing on your system in
the daytime specifically be careful with this setting because it will affect
performance quite differently depending on the time of day in the game at night
time it's not that bad at daytime it's really heavy now this game's performance
while great on PC is quite variable depending on the lighting of the scene
if you're inside or outside if it's day or night how much stuff is going on
around you Etc this game is huge and
there's a ton of different things to do which is great in a gameplay standpoint
but I don't think they properly captured this in their Benchmark which was a
little bit more extreme than mine in both ways resulting in theirs having a
lower minimum and higher maximum FPS and
a slightly higher average FPS than mine in terms of performance I decided to
test a bit more than we normally do these videos are usually just graphics
card showdowns but you guys might want to know a little bit more about how the
whole system will perform when underload with GTA 5 so first up is CPU core usage
Rockstar did quite a good job balancing the CPU usage for this game although GTA
did act a little bit oddly when interacting with hyperthreads resulting
in the client largely ignoring them on the high end in terms of cores although
it did end up using them properly when the overall thread count was lower
resulting in a pretty flat performance across the board All Things Considered
with the dual core no hyperthreading setup lagging behind slightly and the
quad core Sweet Spot reigning Supreme once again and finally the graphics card
performance Showdown we set our 1080p bench up with some pretty aggress
aggressive settings after riging up the very high preset we put on 2x msaa
softest shadows and took vsync off because well it's a benchmark
unsurprisingly NVIDIA did quite well this is an NVIDIA title after all and it
was very apparent that both companies saw this as an important release as they
both had dedicated GTA 5 driver releases
although it must also be noted that AMD's driver is a beta driver so if
you're an AMD Graphics user and are planning to play GTA 5 I would suggest
grabbing that beta driver if you aren't already a beta user it seemed stable
enough in my testing so you'll probably be fine at 1080p everything seemed to go
pretty smoothly although with the 750 Ti
and the 260x things did get a little bit sketchy with stutters and some input lag
every once in a while the 4K story was similar in terms of overall card
positioning and we ran this test in high with softest Shadows or soft air Shadows
no AA and vsync off however at 4K problems started with the 270x and
included the 265 and 750 Ti and 260x yet again this
game really doesn't seem to enjoy running under 30 FPS as it stuttered
quite a bit with those cards thanks for watching did you like the inclusion of
CPU core benchmarks would you like to see more benchmarks like these in gaming
videos in the future maybe like RAM usage vram usage um overall load on the
CPU anything like that let me know in the comments down below or over on the
Forum preferably while you're here watching this video like dislike
favorite subscribe follow comment uh click on the links in
