After looking at the minimum specs and deciding that my PC 'should' run GTA V (and online), I am reporting that I'm delighted to be running at 30fps (dips to mid 20's when loads of on-screen action, of course)

 

The best bit? My settings are crazy above the in-game 'guide'!

 

resolution: 1600x1024

FXAA: on

Vsync: half

Population density/variety : Max (?!)

Distance Scaling: midway

 

other settings on a mix of V high (textures, reflections)

 

Vidmem usage: 2160mb / 1023mb *** obviously selected 'ignore suggested limits' ***

 

PC: Macbook Pro, i7, GT650m 1GB, SSD 16GB memory

 

How is this possible? no idea!

 

I know this comes across as 'cool story, bro' but if you've got a recent mac, you CAN play GTA V! (and quite well)

Because each frame now has 33ms to draw instead of 16 :p I use half vsync too, it doubles the time my game has to draw a frame, so I can push it up way higher than shooting for 60fps.

That doesn't even, just, what, seriously, what, did you just read a DigitalFoundry article or something? Stop. Please. Others might think you look smart but people who actually know their sh*t, the stuff you post is just embarrassing.

 

You're name is just a parody isn't it?

TIL: Higher details = lower framerate.

 

Do you spend your time just finding more convoluted ways to state the obvious?
