What are your PC Specs?, Are you planning to upgrade soon?

[III-Ari-III]

Let's talk about PC hard in this CPU intensive game haha.

 

Only say these parts: CPU, GPU, RAM, and PSU.

 

Then say at which settings do you run the game.

 

The rest of components can be mentioned but are not required for the topic in question.

 

I'll start with mines:

 

Cpu: Intel i5 2500k @3.7 Ghz Quad Core.

Gpu: Amd Msi Radeon 470 4gb.

Ram: 2x8gb 1333 Mhz Kingston Fury.

Psu: Corsair 80 plus white 430w.

 

I would love to upgrade into ryzen 1700 or 1800 with 2x8gb ddr4 2400 Mhz ram + am4 socket mobo, but no available cash for now haha.

 

I play gta online at 1080p60fps high settings with occational drops into 40 fps or so in filled lobbies, pretty good experience so far.

 

Let's see yours!.

 

Also i'm a pc technician, so if you have any questions regarding your rig please ask away. : )

The only thing i'd upgrade is RAM. Also a keyboard. My keyboard is like 10 years old or something. I mean its working ok, but my roommate complains about it's noise. Uhhh, with keyboard comes mouse, i guess? It's been a year since my mouse wheel were broken and im too lazy to buy myself a new one.

My home rig is this:

Core i5 4690k @ 3.5 with Noctua NH U12s air cooling

16GB Corsair Vengeance LP

Samsung EVO 240 SSD

Asus Strix GTX 980

 

I'm using Corsair K95 RGB KB with brown switches, Corsair Scimitar RGB pro mouse for gaming and Logitech MX Pro for general crap.

 

Not really going to upgrade anything right now, since the only way to upgrade is to go Skylake/ Kaby lake and it's a full new PC. I was thinking about getting GTX 1080, but skipped the idea since I'm playing full HD on a single display. Can't stomach multiple screens for gaming because it reminds me of my job.

Yeah 16 gigs would be nice, and a mechanical keyboard with cherry red switches rocks! although it will be expensive.. and i recommend the razer abyssus v2 for mouse ; P

You are fine as you are haha.

Yes, I'm thinking about getting rid of half my ram.

I need a new SSD tho, aswell as maybe going SLI.

Well selling the extra ram to get an ssd sounds nice, no need for sli though haha.

Keep moving then.

I recently upgraded to an i7 7700K and a 1080 Ti I play at 3440x1440 and I've definitely got a lot of stuff to say about how this game has performed over the years on my various systems.

 

I think we can all agree there is some level of a memory leak present, most users with 8GB of RAM always seem to complain about stuttering eventually, I've had it happen to me too. My 16 gig laptop and 32GB rig doesn't have this issue, but that's not to say this is a consistent issue that affects "low" RAM system, but it's something that happens to a lot of players.

 

Performance wise I've personally seen the northern part of the map hit hardest with the vegetation it renders, I've seen my current rig drops to the low 40s at times in Sandy Shores with everything maxed out (grass at Very High, no MSAA), Some changes to the Advancer Graphics parameters and it's riding fine at 50-60 in the region and mostly hits 80-100 elsewhere.

 

I will say this, the game can run on a multitude of configurations, weak/outdated ones included. While it may not necessarily run well, it is playable to whatever degree the user considers it to be for them. For example, I've successfully hit 50-60 on an Intel HD 5500 with a multitude of settings.xml and texture tweaks, but the game does look pretty bad. Again, this is helpful for anyone desperate enough to want to play V but isn't in a position to get a proper system, so perhaps kudos to R* for that?

 

Shadows are still an odd issue at times, appears jagged and such on vehicles for example.

Well this game is a port after all.. and on top of that, a cpu heavy sandbox.. so there is that.. on the other hand i found out that high settings with only textures in very high, and everything on advanced graphics disabled, plus render distance in normal graphics all to minimum gives the best overall performance.. solid 1080p60 with occational 40 fps drops in populated lobbies.

 

And i'm using a radeon 470 4gigs, my friend using a gtx 760 has the same config and performance, and my other friend with a radeon 460 2gb same too but playing at 720p and textures on normal due to vram.

I'm a cheapskate:

GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 rev. 6.0
AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5Ghz
nVidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB
Kingston HyperX FURY DDR3 1600Mhz 3x8GB

Western Digital HDD 1TB @ 7200RPM

Toshiba HDD 2TB @ 7200RPM

I need to upgrade my CPU to an FX-8370 @ 4.1GHZ as that chip supports the same socket and consumes roughly the same wattage, thus I would need no MB upgrade and PSU upgrade. I don't even know what my PSU is, I only know it's 500 watts. I also need to improve the CPU cooling in this as I believe it's using the stock FX-6300 fan, and also do something to reduce the sound. It screams like a banshee.

Finally someone with a down to earth pc.. i'm literally scared of all the 1070s and 1080s.. looks like everyone here has a lot of money to spare.. hahaha

 

And yeah that upgrade path will do you good.. also check the fx 8000 something that comes with wraith cooler, so you get 2 targets with 1 shot haha.

You would notice great improovements going to an i7, specially in a cpu intensive game like gta, when you have the money, do it.

[stretchx9]

A 2015 AMD build.

FX8350 liquid cooled and stock clocked.

750 watt power supply.

16 gig ddr3.

2 MSI GTX970's in sli (yeah, 2 much overkill).

24" 144 hz monitor.

I can play V @ 96-128 fps @ 1440p with some display settings reduced on account of the 970's 3.5 gig vram.

Sure wish I had bought a single 980 back then instead of two 970's. Got no intention to upgrade anything. Usually run only one 970 anyway for 68-76 fps @ 1080p.

Good pc overall.. but you are on liquid cooling and you didn't oc'd your fx?, you are missing performance man.

I'm not missing anything, I got exactly what I wanted,

I wanted an entirely stable and nearly silent gaming pc.

You can have that and still have oc, when you oc rightly you don't have unstability and with that cooler you will still have a silent pc.. but suit yourself.

It's a decent pc, most you can do there is go for a gtx 1070 if you have money to spare, otherwise it's ok.

[HaRdSTyLe_83]

at 1440p i doubt he would see any improvement from overclocking at all, the "bottleneck" are the 3.5GB VRAM, if you call it that

In an fx cpu there is always room for improovement with oc.. still he decided to not do it.. so lets leave it at that.

[HaRdSTyLe_83]

you can leave it where you want it, but try getting some info next time

[DigitalNikki]

CPU: Intel i7-4930k (6 core @ 3.4 GHz)

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0

RAM: 8x8GB DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9-24

PSU: ThermalTake 1KW SP-1000M

 

Currently I'm playing in [email protected] with V-Sync on half, grass on normal (IMO this setting doesn't add anything useful, and just wastes FPS), FXAA, and frame scaling on 2/1. The rest is at max. So far it only drops when flying probably because I have GTA installed on a Raid Array, and not a SSD. Other then that it's constant at 60-63fps. Then again GFE isn't the best to monitor framerates over time.

 

It would be nice to upgrade to the x299 platform, but I don't need to yet.
