That is more like it...an R9 290x pushes it safely into the upper 70s / low 80's on highest settings (was that the highest? i couldn't read all of them in time)...with mins still dipping into the low 50's when things got hectic (the explosions at the end, namely)...

which is great...but that is still a very powerful gpu, much higher than what is 'recommended'...and considering its Vram footprint sat around 3100MB too...I don't think its as easy to max out as many were speculating based on the requirement lists...

still an incredible looking game...I've only played it on PS3, and actually went back in to it a few days ago...watching these videos and seeing that it is the same game, but at a ridiculous fidelity...is enticing...but I'm running a 280x, not a 290x, and don't think i'm going to run it well enough to justify buying it again...with DX12 coming, this is kind of the worst time to upgrade...i'll just wait a year or so and see what happens then...and maybe play through GTA V again in all its blurry glory on PS3 haha...or wait for steam sales later this summer...

You will run it just fine with your R9 280x , with mix of high / very high at 1080p you should get 50-60fps.

With most things turned up My 7979 gets same results as menghina as the R9 280x

^really? nice...

I have sapphire R9 280x at 1150/1600, so fairly OC'd from the reference version...

Its paired with an A10-6800k at 4.8ghz, which isn't a blazing fast cpu by any means, but in BF4 (the only really taxing game i regularly play) i can easily hold around 70fps at 1080 with ultra settings, including 4x MSAA...should mention, only with mantle, as with DX11 i get mins into the 40's on occasion...

Will definitely check this out, then...will still probably wait until a summer sale of some sort, because i'd really only get it for GTA Online, as i kind of skipped out on that...and not sure how much time i'd spend with it...

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing693d ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos3d ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy853d ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
