Dude..future... your drivers are beta... and you are using the crappiest form of AA there is.

If I dont drive my own car, I prefer to steal the Gremlin clone. I dont know why, but rolling in a Gremlin and listening to West Coast Classics is as good as it gets. But in general I'm not into stealing cars and random violence. hehehe I even tried stopping at red lights. Part of that was to stop damage to my car, but its like they made the time interval just as long as a real red light. I even stop muggers. When I eventually jump into online I will be a vigilante. :biggrin:
Plays Grand Theft Auto, but is not really all that into larceny or savagery........you sir, are an uncommon individual.

Edit: Sitting here thinking about it and one of my favorite things to do in GTA3 was the police side missions, chasing down bad guys and putting the hurt on them.

I have image quality issues on my card with this game but it could not possibly be the beta drivers that was released for this game on the same day it was released I see pixels even though I am using FXAA which is the worst type of AA and does not get rid of the pixels in any other games but because it doesn't in this game the game must be broke

FTFY

Going to be streaming some more GTA V on the Uber Rig @ 3:30 P.M. PST here: GTA V STREAMING @ 5K :thumbsup:

You know that the left shift and ctrl actually lower and left the crane on that tow truck,you back up to any vehicle and your pretty much towing any vehicle outside of a big rig.

I had a blast towing a few cop cars from both the front and rear.The best part is how they burn their tires attempting to reverse the vehicles:awe: Epic fun to also swerve as well and have those vehicles slamming bicycles and other small vehicles.:biggrin:

Jeff, I had the same issue with Catalyst Omega. Also, can you point me to a time when AMD's Beta drivers ever had a difference in image quality over non-beta driver? That isn't the issue here.

@FutureFields you are playing the game with outdated drivers that are not supported for this game. If you want your game to look good, you are going to have to update your drivers.

Complaining about how bad the game looks will not help your outdated drivers. Takes like 10 mins to update.

Once you update, you will get to see how the game is supposed to look!

Yeah, in general I dont like the stories and characters in Rockstar games. Villains doing villainous things! The only exception was San Andreas. I do like open world games though, so I play the GTAs. Doing the Trevor missions sucks ass.
Last night the game made me torture some dude. I tried doing the least amount of damage, but your choices are pliers, plumbers wrench, and electrocution! hahaha Started with the pliers twice, then went to the wrench. The second time I used it Trevor smashed his balls. I dont need to be doing that in a game. Now, if I had a choice to smash Trevor in the balls I might at least feel justified!

I think I've been spending more time buying outfits and fixing up cars and checking out the world. I drove to every damn clothing store to find aviators for each character. For some reason some items aren't available for all the characters at the same stores.

Can you make a video in your garage using the same settings?

I haven't went online yet, and my garage in single player doesnt look anything like yours. I also didnt preorder so I will probably start with $0 in online. I can go to a parking lot or something.

No.

I have the latest AMD drivers that were released for this game.

Oh, I thought you said you were on Omega. If you are, you gotta upgrade to get proper shadows and visuals.

If you're on the beta and still having problems, you could contact R* support.

Edit: On the drivers page scroll down below Omega and download the GTA V driver.

What a load. Still can't get this game. Stuck at 100% complete in downloads. Got so pissed I wiped Windows, reinstalled Steam, Spent all day downloading again and same crap but downloaded another game to check to make see if it's not just GTA but worked fine. So it's just GTA.

God he irritates me sometimes, says blatent lies to like 2 million subscribers and has comments disabled so no one can easily correct him. The assertion that the long shadows and high resolutions shadows requires "a beast of a machine" is just completely false. I'm running with those things on with a single 980 in 2560x1600 and it runs at a smooth 60fps just fine with damn near all other settings maxed out.

Then he immediately goes on to say there's no quicksave option, which is just completely false as well. What an idiot.

*edit*

He also talks about optimising for specific frame rates, which is idiotic, there's no such thing as optimising for specific frame rates, a function is either optimised or it's not. What he's talking about regarding hitting 120 or 144fps for 120hz/144hz monitors is running into CPU bottlenecks which is clearly apparent from all the professional benchmarks done on this game.

Well a 980 is high end and could be considered a beast of a machine. Depends on what someone considers a beast. Most people probably have a $500 HP or Dell and a $120 card they got from BestBuy so keep that in mind.

They're beta drivers and are released to add support for GTA 5. It succeeded in this. It has bugs and issues but it's a beta driver and won't be fully released anyway. If you don't want to experience any of these issues, feel free to wait for the next full catalyst driver release.

In my opinion the issue is Rockstar's lack of putting a decent post process AA solution.

A poster above mentioned FXAA is the worst form of anti-aliasing.

It begs the question, why didn't Rockstar include SMAA?

COD Advanced Warfare has an SMAA implementation (filmic smaa t2x) that would make this game look stunning, and is GPU agnostic (runs very well on AMD and Nvidia)

So is anyone else running the game at 4k having troubles keeping it stutter free? According to the benchmarks my 2x290xs should get 60 FPS. I don't get anywhere near that. Its a stuttery mess, too.

the downscaling from 1440p to 1080p definitely helps but i still see quite a lot of jaggies in your example

also do you have depth of field disabled?

im going to experiment with amd's supersampling tommorow

Sorry, but there's very few jaggies - don't even see them as you're playing.
