    From what it looks like, R* has been working on the PC version from day one, it is not a console port. If that's the case I'll likely buy it.

    Yeah, and my poor little 970m would choke at that even if it did have 6GB.

    Yay!

    When I checked the settings,
    That can't be right because I am getting from 40-80 fps in the benchmark on my GTX 980 and sometimes more. 40 was just momentary drops, the frame is usually 80+ fps. I have a mixture of High, Very high and population and other sliders on max.

    What I noticed is that for some stupid reason the default graphical settings in game is Vsync enabled which locks the frame rate of course but to add insult to injury, it had upscaled the resolution to almost 4K which left the frame rate locked to 30 fps. Check your resolution in game and make sure DSR is not on and check Vsync. DSR upscales and then converts back to 1920 x 1080. I haven't installed the GTA V game ready Driver yet, will do that later.

    I noticed about 120 fps indoors during the first scene where you are doing something questionable with an automatic weapon...

    CPU showed about 80% on each Core and GPU showed about 70%.

    Edit: I can see why Vsync was set on by default, it stutters a bit without it, I will test more later.

    Edit: After the GTA V ready Nvidia Driver update, I am getting no more stuttering so can disable Vsync.

    Finally got the game working after going through the final 356MB update 5 times and failing. Just a heads up for those who are experiencing "Code 1" update issues Rockstar released a statement saying that certain special characters in your Windows Account Name may cause the update to fail.

    A temporary workaround for the error is posted here (I had a hyphen in my name which may have explained the problems I kept having).

    Benchmark is borked. It doesn't do anything. Keeps fading in and out, and goes to mission failed. No FPS or anything. At mostly high settings using only 2.3GB of vRAM at 1080p.

    Getting a solid 60FPS with these settings on 970m.

    GTA thinks I have 8000MB of vRAM.

    I think it'll **** itself if I put two 980Ms in here. (it doesn't use more than about 3800 normally; counting windows in this)

    I can't seem to adjust settings to get 60fps. I hover around 45-55; sometimes dropping into the low 30s. I had everything set to super mega ultra, but when I started turning down settings one by one, the fps difference was literally none. I was sitting in one spot looking at fps when testing this. I think maybe Shadows on "very high" is doing it. I even checked sharp, softest and nVidia PCSS and there was NO difference between them.

    Either way, the game looks pretty good. Can't lie about that. KBM controls are not so great. I default to "walk" all the time and I can't figure out how to make the character "run" like normal GTA games do. Sprinting I just hold shift and it works. It's a bit annoying. Also driving is a pain on KBM. I think I might have to use the controller to drive, at the least. The handling is super sensitive using KB and the car has tendencies to either spin out or never be able to straighten itself on the road. Ironically when I use Franklin's special it handles perfectly, even at low speeds. It never overturns. Driving with Michael and the others is going to be a pain. Aiming is a bit of an issue too. It feels real slow and real fast at the same time. I don't know how I'm gonna fix that one.

    Tried your settings and im getting 40-60

    Btw driving works super great for me comparing to GTA 4 i LOVE it :D
    i agree aiming is a bit harder but not too bad, i guess because the crosshair is really small

    Can't wait to try this out. I purchased this for the 360 when it came out, yet never ended up getting very far into it. Dark Souls is pissing me off right now, so this will be a welcome breath of fresh air.

    Ok fellas. We got ourselves an ungimped release. Extremely consistent and stable frame rates. It runs as nicely as I had hoped...no hitches and good graphics options. The first console game in a long time that feels like it was made to run on a PC.
