Just curious, is this what you're seeing in GTA 5?

http://imgur.com/a/eJlan

since the last patch, the game looks different and performed different for me.

sometimes i have to unplug my ethernet and restart the game because it will start hitching every so many seconds. It is something to do with the Mod checking stuff they added. At least that is what i think. If you launch the game in offline mode, it goes works the same as launching the game with the ehternet unplugged.
It is something on rockstars end, i think. Because it is not something that happens all the times. Sometimes the game will start up and run fine, other times it will have hitching and stutter until i exit the game and restart in offline mode.

Anyway, i noticed the blurriness like in those pictures as well. It seemed like the game doing this, similar to what i does on the PS3 but not nearly as bad. Is there a setting to improve this? I dont remember seeing it until the last patch, when they added they added the scaling slider in the advanced settings. Does that have anything to do with it?

"Measurements such as by Anandtech , Hard OCP and techreport confirm where a Fury X under Mantle in Battlefield 4 in Ultra-HD or 1440p with 4x MSAA yields poorer results than under D3D11"

Ultra-HD or 1440p(with 4xMSAA to boot) while Greggy is doing it at 1080p and there is a review showing that mantle does benefit.

This seems to be a Mantle vs. DX11 page not AMD vs. nvidia -- wrong link?

As I've already linked in this thread before, 1:31 and the colors are different, albeit slightly this time than the total washed out look titan x had earlier.

Secondly, it's quite the right link for the discussion with Gregster's evaluation of mantle as 'shocking' but some folks had to jump in between with their little snark.

Who is Greggy? Anyways, I have shown results for 1080P and others have confirmed that the Fury X has not had any Mantle optimisations (remember it needs doing on a card by card basis) and one of those confirming is AMDMatt (an AMD rep). Also if I run 200% res scaling at 1080P with Mantle, it drops to 5 or less fps and with DX11, it sits at around 45-50, so clearly that site you linked is wrong.

Others reported the same, patch related it seems:

There are over 300 posts in this thread. It might be good to repost the link to the video so we can view 1:31.

Sorry I didn't really examine those imgur images properly, yes that is exactly what I was experiencing in GTA5.

Anisotropic Filtering, Just need to force it to 16x in the control panel. this has been happening for quite a while now. The total war series, Watchdogs, GTAIV, Dragon Age Inquisition all come to mind.

I thought it was the in game implementation, didn't realise it was a bug.

Hence the 'strange'. Anyway, at least 200% scaling is what it takes, which btw wasn't done in the current benchmark run. So the site isn't wrong.

As for AMDMatt, with friends like these who needs greggies.

Which video do you think I'd be referring to? Amusing that you'd jump in between and yet not have a clue. ()

You're amused but the rest of us reading the thread just find the comments obnoxious since instead of responding multiple times like a sarcastic jerkoff you could have linked the video....

:hmm:

1:31

Stop the curt behavior and answer, with a link or otherwise, what you are referring to in this thread as "1:31".

This is a forum for respectful discussion, and I'd better start seeing some from you quickly.

Jump in between? These discussions are open to all. And as for the mystery video?
I wish I knew. I haven't seen any video linked by you. I've checked all 8 or 10 posts from you within this thread. So why don't you just re link please.

Respectful to someone who jumps in between with a little sarcastic remark while discussing a video and doesn't get the hint that the 1:31 refers to that video itself. Even after my repeating it in another reply.


200% scaling is needed you say?

https://youtu.be/FI520kPIcN0

Also I have added a Mantle run with 200% scaling...It isn't pretty

Ohhh and Greg or Gregster will do fine


Amusing how quick you're to jump on it when what was simply needed was just a testing of mantle at 1080p at 100% resolution scaling which is what was there in your original benchmark. And greggy it is.

I hope it's clear now. As for what I linked in my previous posts in this thread, I pointed out in the video. I wasn't going to post 1:31 because it was marginal at best but you had to go with your little snark.

Whilst I was more than happy to admit that I made some mistakes and was a noob, I didn't come here to be insulted. I will leave it there and I clarified everything as best I could. Thanks for the insults.

Don't let it get to you. Once they couldn't use your videos to slander NV you became useless to them. Just keep on reviewing in your videos!

And avoid the black crush from your first video. Woof, that was terrible! Haha.

In other words, whatever you had to show was all in your imagination. I figured as much. No need to show me now, but thanks for the effort.

Great advice. Don't let them scare you away from AT Gregster.
