Yeah, people who come in saying that they can max this game out with a locked 60 fps on a single GPU clearly haven't read any of this thread and/or seriously tested their settings. For a serious benchmark that reflects an actual, realistically sustained worst-case scenario, I would recommend the following methodology that I've been using to test:
- Enter Director Mode
- Teleport to Paleto Bay
- Set the time of day to sunset, dusk, and/or dawn with a clear sky (this brings out wonderfully long shadows)
- Turn on invincibility and a 5-star wanted rating
- Drive through the hills with all of the trees and grass

I guarantee that most of you claiming to max out the game or have any of grass, post FX, high res shadows, or long shadows on ultra/on will find that your framerate will be crushed into a stuttering mess.

I'm running a 280X and here are the settings that I'm using to maintain >50 fps in this worst-case scenario which I've come up with after hours of tweaking to keep as many of the more noticeable effects on while targeting 60 fps at 1080p (actually 1152p which is 14% more pixels). There's also a video there to demonstrate that:

From my testing, Post FX on Ultra or Grass on Ultra have a cost of about 30% each over Very High with another 10-15% gained from going from Very High to High. This is to say that, on a 280X, having these settings on Ultra under these conditions takes me down to ~20 fps without exceeding VRAM so, unless a 970 is about 100% faster than a 280X, you won't have a nice experience.

Aight, on my single 570() I can run a couple things on very high that don't affect gfx memory, and get "playable" framerates. But...

Them textures over normal and

Turn on some MSAA card

Don't think so.

Damn this game is demanding. With everything turned all the way up, fxaa, msaa, and txaa (I guess all three are being used, which is crazy overkill), I get frame rate drops in the wooded/hilly areas in the 40s even at 1080p (I'm still waiting to try 5870 x 1080). Looks like this will be a fxaa only game and some settings turned down, even with titan x sli

Turn down grass, msaa and extended distance scaling.

I just wanted to see if I could max everything possible out with titan x sli at 1080p. I can, but I get dips in to the low 40s in the hills/woods.

I'm gonna tinker with the settings once I get my new monitors (which should happen today). I wanna run this in 3 monitors at the highest possible settings, while achieving 45fps plus
