    This is an informative video. But, you missed the most crucial aspect, CPU performance.
    I imagine most people suffer from major frame rate drops when driving through busy streets etc. This is almost exclusively CPU bound and can be shown to be so by lowering the resolution to the lowest settings and seeing that the frame rate DOESNT improve - which of course it would do if the gpu was to blame.
    So, the fix is:
    1) Find the busiest street where you are getting noticable frame drops.
    2) Lower resolution to minimum
    3) Lower 'Population', 'Variety' and 'Distance Scaling' to zero.
    4) Play game and notice that FPS has greatly increased.
    5) Raise those three settings until you start seeing frame rate drop below your required v-sync lock.
    6) You know have eliminated CPU bottleneck and can now raise resolution.
    7) manipulate other graphic options until you start to see frame drops.
    I have fx 8370 clocked at 4.75 and the game CRAWLS during the city. Its gross. However, following this method I can now play 1080p at 50FPS on 50Hz display with no frame drops.
    Seriously guys. Find the equilibrium point where the CPU starts to cause issues. If not, all the other settings in the world will make ZERO difference to you.

    I just purchased GTA V yesterday. I'm averaging between 55-90 FPS with two Gigabyte 980 Gaming editions and a 4930K. I never played GTA before and I must say this is absolutely eye candy. I currently have a 1080P Asus monitor but im running the game at 2560 X 1440P through DSR. MSAA is maxed out.

    I get a pretty consistent framerate of around 50 in benchmark tests, but when I'm driving fast, it just cant keep up. If I'm driving fast or have cops after me my game literally slows to a stop, sometimes for 5 seconds or more. It's infuriating. It says I have 6144MB of video memory and I'm only using half at the moment. I have all settings at pretty much the lowest, MSAA FXAA etc. all off. Native resolution for my monitor is 1920x1080. Drivers are up-to-date.
    My rig isn't a powerhouse but it should really do better I think:
    AMD A10-7850k Kaveri 3.8GHZ with Coolermaster Evo for cooling, never really goes past 60c
    8GB 2133 RAM (rated 2400 but is very unstable even though my mobo supports it so I had to underclock)
    Gigabyte Radeon R7 250 2GB DDR5 (paired with dual graphics mode of my Kaveri)
    ASRock Fatal1ty FM2A88x+ Killer mobo
    600w EVGA PSU
    What can I do to fix this WITHOUT upgrading hardware? At this point I don't even care if the settings are at the lowest, I just want it to be stable.
    *EDIT* After disabling the dual graphics, this problem has appeared to have gone away. This is a real shame though, because the whole reason I bought the r7 and an A10 was so I can use the dual graphics. All that added video memory was also nice...

    Is it just me or anisotropic filtering is not working? For example: I can only see the High res textures when i am reeeeaally close to it, on the ground I can see the textures loading the high res version as I go walking, it's more evident on grass/dirt. The same happens with the shadows,
    Really close: from the back of a car to it's hood

    • @eelkir
      @eelkir 9 лет назад +1

      ivi982010 Textures blur over distance when viewed at an angle, and anisotropic filtering tries to get rid of that. This is separate from texture resolution, so it doesn't help with textures loading in.

    I have a GTX 980 and I can't maintain 60 FPS at 1080p if I enable MSAA or TXAA, so I'm forced to use only FXAA. The advanced settings are all disabled and everything else is maxed out, except for the grass quality that is set on Very High. What I've experienced is that some times the graphics card usage stays around 65% and it still keeps dropping to 45-50 FPS, for no apparent reason. The CPU usage never goes above 50%. The video memory usage is around 2.4GB at all times. It's kind of a disappointment, because the GTX 980 can handle pretty much everything else.

    But whether I run the game on 1080p everything at normal, or 1440p everything on very high, i get 25-40 fps
    It's like changing all the settings does nothing to performance...

    Great video but I'm pretty sure Ultra Shadow Quality doesn't exist in GTA 5, it only goes up to Very High. And the difference in fps between Very High and High is a LOT. It's a good 9 fps or so. And the difference from High to Normal is around 3-4 fps. I'm not sure why what is mentioned in the video on Shadow Quality is completely different. It's the same story with Reflection Quality. The actual difference between Ultra and Normal is around 20 fps, not what is mentioned in this video. Everything else is more accurate.
