For those commenting about the 1060 3GB, people buying it back in 2016-2017 didn't have too many choices, cryptomining made everything else unaffordable.
I had a great impression of the game at first, Chapter 1, no lag issues, the 1060 6GB was handling it great, it had some preset setting that was a mix of ultra and high. Then I got to chapter 2. It got a hell of a lot more laggy with all the greenery.
Really wish DX11 was an option.
Been running high texture low everything else except medium water because low water produces this weird flashing effect, that just about gives me 60 FPS average with 1440P but sadly there are occasionally hang ups, where the game just stops for a second or two. Game still looks good for me, I don't mind games at lower settings as long as it can run smooth at this resolution. It mostly does except for when it doesn't, and it just hangs paused for a second or two like its going to crash. That happens sometimes when riding through town, or even looking at the gun store catalog. Also if you lower textures below high all the faces turn to pixel mud and things such as playing cards become unrecognizable.
GTA IV was kind of a mess on PC release too.
GTA V seemed fine by comparison, I had that when it released with just a 3770K and 770 2GB and it ran it pretty well at 1080P, not much drops, crashes, hangs.
"The map can be zoomed out with the mouse wheel, but zoom speed is incredibly slow, requiring crazy mouse wheel spinning to give you an overview"
How such an obvious problem can go unnoticed??? the amount of laziness and Incompetency of these big, rich, crappy developers is just unbelievable. small and indie developers put much more effort and passion in developing games these days.
Thankfully page up and page down zoom the map.
