GTA V on PC anyone?

I'm pretty sure it will definitely come out for PC, its just a matter of when.....

Either way though I'm sorted to be able to play this on the highest settings, especially considering my IceQ7950 overclocks to 7970 speeds and beyond :D

I will however get the DVD Disc version as I recall GTA:SA via steam was un-modable due to it being v3 where mods only seemed to like the v1 of the game, not too sure about GTA IV
 
i love the way steam do that. block you from altering single player content aswell. i was bored and felt like blowing things up and fired up cheat engine to give my unlimited ammo and its blocked. not all games but the one i was in the mood for. and its annoying.

That was actually not the case with SA. SA had three version; v1, v2 and v3. The v1 version was the only one that was mod-able and Steam just gave you the most up-to-date version. That's what gaming platforms do.

I bought mine on disc and got the v2, I was never able to mod it unless I downloaded a torrent while already owning the game. Ended up just playing the vanilla game and honestly it was already so good that I never even missed the mods :)

Gotta admit that the IcEnhancer thing on GTA IV was pretty epic but I never got that to work either. Tried to install it ounce and it just removed my savegame without even enabling the mod. Been scared to retry it since...

The version I had was 2 as well but I just used the downgrader patch to get it to v1......
I had the entire Police force using Bugatti Veyrons :)
 
Gta IV was indeed bad port, if Gta V is bad port for pc, I buy an PS 4 and the Gta V version for it :)

nah, even if GTA V is a bad port, it'll still look better than the console equivilents, take GTA IV for example, apply the ICEnhancer or ENB graphics mod and have a truely stunning game
 
not sure if it's been said already, but mmoga.com got GTA 5 up for pre-order with a delivery date

Has happened before that shops had already listed it, but then later said it was an error. I'll just wait patiently, I can live with waiting a few more months.
 
The game will be epic on PC provided it's bug free.
What Rockstar game has ever been bug free? or any other game for that matter.
Without mods I expect it to be boring after a few hours, all hope rests on the shoulders of the mod community :), at least imo.

I don't remember what GTA IV was like on PC, I didn't have it on PC but I'm sure it needed big booty specs? Sort of like poorly optimised/ported. I think?

But the console version is completely playable, I would just hate them to bring such a good game to PC and the guy with the two grand PC can't play it, and then it crashes, freezes and all that.
 
On launch the game was broken, unoptimized, lots of installation and general error codes. Steam even gave refunds to people because of that.
Anyway my point is don't expect it to be optimized on release (in general not just GtaV), give it some time and then decide.

its very cpu heavy, my 7770 and i3 plays it max out @1080p around 30 fps but it does drop to 18 :(

AS3 uses about ~25% cpu and ~99% gpu where as gta uses ~70% cpu and gpu, gpu normall sits around 60%

however gta is on xbox 1/ ps4 and as we all know uses x86 there for shouldn't be too much work to get it running and if they added mantle support then it would be very very nice.
 
I find that GTA IV hates AMD stuff. My old gts 450+ i3 550 ran the game fine (~60fps) on med-high but my 7870 and 8320 can struggle on high-ultra.

well it did hate my old fx-4100, but then again which game didn't hate that thing. still my 4670k + 770 struggle with everything maxed out as well, drops to 30fps.
