DX12 will make a huge difference as it communicates with the hardware in a much better way than any previous version of DirectX has, and it is truly the first big leap since DX9.

AMDs Mantle technology has already proven what a proper API can make a huge difference in game performance, like for instance in Battlefield…

Just the fact that I have to modify a ridiculous number of key aspects about my computer to run the game decently says a lot I think.

I’ll try that later to see how that goes.

I replied to someones else’s comment about this, just scroll down a bit.

The voice acting is horrible!

This isn’t a great option for me in the long run though, other games I play that ran fine with the overclock doesn’t run quite “fine” without it.

Still, really, thanks.

The guys at Reddit won’t believe this came from the comment section on Kotaku, heh.

Holy shit, man. That actually fixed the most severe problems, although the game runs pretty much on par with my PS4 now. Strange though, I haven’t had problems in any other game or application and ran Prime95 for 24 hours and Linx as well for 24 hours with no problems at all.

I might try that, but my computer is kinda dependant on the OC. Without the OC the G3258 isn’t a good CPU at all, and will severely bottleneck my GPU.

I get that, sorry for the snarky reply.

It might be the hardware, but people with all kinds of specs get these issues, ranging from the lowest low end to people with mutiple TITAN GPUs and 8-core Intel CPUs.

Also, judging by /r/grandtheftautov and /r/grandtheftauto_pc, I’m not in any minority, and players are experiencing other issues than those I mentioned that affects me.

An example of those issues would be that the latest patch introduced a problem where people with high-end computer can’t get any more than 15-20fps…

Okay.

First my specs:

MB: MSI Z97M Gaming M-ATX
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 @ 4.2GHz
GPU: MSI R9 280X 3GB
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3 8GB
HDD: WD Blue 500GB
PSU: Cooler Master G550M

Also, I’m on a 25/25 fiber connection.

Then the problems. This will go from minor problems to major problems.

Well aren’t you lucky?

You know, when it works.

How about you write an article about how this is as broken as SimCity, since it really is.

Uh-huh.

I don’t like you.

Yeah, faddish trends like smartphones, tablets and ultrabooks.

I advice that you ban Mighty-MGREXX, Kirtaner (Aubrey Cottle) and Kinjaaa2, as they’ve all gotten to the point of harassing each other and not contributing a single good thing to the conversation.

Yeah, uh, where civilized people are from, that’s a homophobic slur.

You seemed kinda okay up until that point, homophobic idiot.

Gears of War holds a very special place in my heart because it’s the last game with split-screen support that I played. I really do miss sitting in a couch with someone and playing a game.
