lost-in-emotions Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I question me that, because i dont know what this is: What VSYNC does? You can choose OFF / ON / HALF.Whats the right Setting for that? And on the other Hand, whats with the rest? Here are my Settings - Good / Bad / Better if Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Vsync synchronizes your framerate to your monitor refresh rate. It can be useful in some rare occasions if you experience screen tearing but it also tends to introduce some input lag. It's not an image quality setting that makes the game look any better or worse. Leave it off. Edited October 27, 2016 by The Yokel Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the right Setting for that? And on the other Hand, whats with the rest? Here are my Settings - Good / Bad / Better if just adding to @the yokel vsync doesnt synchronise, it just sets the maximum FPS that you graphic card will send to your monitor in this case 60 frames per second since your monitor can only do 60 refreshes per second. if you select OFF the frames can go higher, you may feel the game smoother the more fps you have, you wont really see the game smoother since your monitor only refreshes 60hz half in your case will lock the maximum amount of Fps to 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost-in-emotions Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Whats the best combination with MSAA & TXAA? MSAA x4 + NVIDIA TXAA on MSAA x8 + NVIDIA TXAA off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips-GTA Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Settings too high. you have 6143mb ram and you are using 5341mb. thats too much. Look at the yellow line, it should be green. Your game is lagging and its not good to play. Turn off MSAA and reflection MSAA. Go down on your settings until the line is green. You have 980ti so you can use geforce experience to optimize your game. Edited October 28, 2016 by Slips-GTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost-in-emotions Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) In my Opinion its really smooth and fine. Ok, i downgraded ONE STEP the max resolution, but the rest is the same as on the screenshot. my question is about the MSAA & TXAA ... :-) with my old card i tried out the geforce experience: horrible! and in the comparison it suggest my really stupid things. without Anti Aliasing the game is too much sawtooth... :-( Isnt it like on the streets? Green = Good, Yellow = Good, Red = Bad :-P Edited October 28, 2016 by lost-in-emotions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips-GTA Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Well, in that case MSAA x8 High and very high so the bar is green If you have G-sync monitor= G-sync on and V-sync off No G-sync=V-sync on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost-in-emotions Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 how i can find out, if i have G-sync? Thats my Monitor: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00WUACE4S/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips-GTA Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 What i can see you have Freesync monitor. If you have AMD gpu card you are fine. It's almost the same as g-sync. No need for v-sync. Resolution is 4K. NICEEE 4K is very demanding and need powerful gpu. Freesync monitor is for AMD gpu G-sync monitor is for Nvidia gpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips-GTA Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) If you have Nvidia gtx card and Freesync (fastsync) monitor then forget it. It doesn't show. Turn V-sync on Edited October 28, 2016 by Slips-GTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips-GTA Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 It's depends of what you see is best. It's best with v-sync off, but you can get tearing in picture. When you are in some action with fights and shooting, you will see. You can try to fly helicopter and check with off, half and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Settings too high. you have 6143mb ram and you are using 5341mb. thats too much. Look at the yellow line, it should be green. Your game is lagging and its not good to play. Turn off MSAA and reflection MSAA. Go down on your settings until the line is green. You have 980ti so you can use geforce experience to optimize your game. Actually, using up as much VRAM as you can would be a good idea, otherwise you're not making much use out of the VRAM you have available. People tend to go 100-200 MB above the limit and the game remains relatively stable. GeForce Experience is sh*t aswell. It's just bloatware on top of Shadowplay, the only redeeming quality of it. Also, using MSAA x8 is overkill at 1080P, unless you really feel the need to use up as much juice as you want till you hit the 60 FPS sweetspot, 4x MSAA is preferred. My GTX 1070 drops from 60 FPS to the high 40s whenever I am in grassy areas. 4x MSAA gets me to mid 50 FPS, and I barely notice the difference in 1080P.

Slips-GTA Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Whose talking 1080p? We are talking 4k. Second, geforce experience with shadowplay is a pretty good software. Not perfect, but useful for many. Using too much vram is if you want it to look pretty, but a misstake if you want enough fps for games. And how are you manage getting so low performance with gtx 1070 and 1080p? Edited October 29, 2016 by Slips-GTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost-in-emotions Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Another Question for a strange effect wich looks really annoying... is it normal, that the shadows generate themself like a "rolling wave"? here i have a quick video, where you see the effect under the bridges. do you all have this too, or is its a fault of my settings? "high quality shadows" or "many details at flight" doesnt do anything better... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMBLWxERGM4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS_BlackScout Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) >Leave it off. You know, there is Triple Buffering to help with the input lag problem. It's a matter of taste. (Personally, I don't mind the tearing) And there is also FastSync and GSync as mentioned. "high quality shadows" or "many details at flight" doesnt do anything better... High-Resolution Shadows only work with Very High shadows. -snip- vsync doesnt synchronise >VSYNC >SYNC >DOESNT SYNCHRONIZE It's not a f*cking Frame Limiter. Do you think whoever created the term is an imbecile or something? "HURRRR, Let's call V-SYNC, but it doesn't actually sync the frames." Using too much vram is if you want it to look pretty, but a misstake if you want enough fps for games. And how are you manage getting so low performance with gtx 1070 and 1080p? I use about 80-90% of my VRAM in Grand Theft Auto V and yet achieve 50-75. Hell, even going overboard VRAM sometimes work, although it's not recommended.

"HURRRR, Let's call V-SYNC, but it doesn't actually sync the frames." if the frames drop then it not syncronized i dont know about who made the term but you sure are one. and yes it limits the max frames to your monitor refresh rate Edited November 13, 2016 by HaRdSTyLe_83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Error2k Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Going 500mb above vram limits doesn't usually cause fps drops, it might cause stuttering though. Also: disable vsync and enable triple buffering in nvidia control panel for gtav.exe. It's much better and input lag is lower. Another tip is that you should switch to 4x msaa or even 2x (with txaa) On 4k jaggies are hardly noticable anyway.

lost-in-emotions Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 if someone already interested in the solution of my problem with the "rolling shadows" - its not extended view or something. this effect is only caused at "shadows: nvidia pcss". if i change it to "smoothest" * the effect will be gone and everything is ok. mhh, ok, not all. it seems that especially smaller objects, seen from the air, have shortly none shadow, wich it be loaded later. but this is not really annoying. not more as spawning/hopping npc vehicles or big trees which will reloaded ^^ better that all big objects have big and good shadows, instead little stuff wich isnt much noticed :-) *a difference to "smooth" or "smoother" isnt noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost-in-emotions Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) i realized a shadow problem, especially on the pier - but not everywhere, only on "start and end". when i switch from MSAA x2 to x4, it happens. even when i go on x8. i tried many combinations. but i think the MSAA x4 is the main catalyst, when i fly with the heli (chopper blades blur) over it the shadow and the other settings triggers nothing special or better. i know this question is high level, but has anyone from you ever noticed this effect?
