GTX 970 optimal settings for GTA V at 4K - Average 60fps!

[CGurrell]

Hey guys,

 

So this is the first time I've done anything like this, but today I'm going to share the settings I use on GTA V with my EVGA GTX 970 FTW+ at 4K resolution.

 

Components

 

It may be the case that the CPU/Motherboard/Drives you use may affect performance at 4K moreso than at 1080p resolution, so I am going to list my PC specs as a little disclaimer: These are the parts I use, and the results I get may be affected by my parts (As Linus loves to say: Your mileage may vary).

 

CPU: Intel core i5-3470 @ 3.8GHz*

RAM: 8GB DDR3-1600 

MB: Asus P8 Z77-v LK

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW+

SSD: 128gb Samsung 840 EVO (OS)

HDD: WD Green 5400rpm 2TB (Everything else)

Monitor: Samsung UD590 28" 4k 1ms

*On Z77 boards, locked intel processors can be overclocked slightly, to a maximum of 3.8GHz on all cores, or 4.0GHz on a single core.

 

Settings

 

These are the settings I use on my system at 4K in GTA V. Yes, all of the advanced graphics options are turned off, but this was (or at least, should have been) expected.

 

Screenshots (coming soon, along with some benchmarks)

 

Did these specs work for you guys? Let me know, and if you have any suggestions then again please let me know

Settings are a subjective thing, everyone has different things they get annoyed by, for some thats pop in and some that's Ailiasing.

Why go 4K if you have to turn down everything to San Andreas level?

@CGurrell does gta limit itself to 59hz when on fullscreen @ 4k?

It happens to me on 3440x1440 so I have to go borderless window.

Will test this later as I have been waiting for a starting ground for settings.

Yeah it does. In windowed borderless i just turn vsync off as I never go way over 60fps so tearing isn't an issue

Will test this later as I have been waiting for a starting ground for settings.

Lemme know how it goes

Yeah but this isn't a difinitive "this is what you must run", more of a starting ground. Personally I like water to look good personally, which is why I have water quality on very high, but if you prefer better grass then change it up lol.
