I don't understand how people with their 1GB of Video RAM and 3GHz Quad Cores etc are not able to run this game even with 1280x1024 and High settings. Actually I know where is the problem. Problem is about the Social Club. When I'm playing with logged in to the Social Club, then my fps drops below 30 and it runs slowly. When I'm playing with offline account, signed out from Social Club, I get fps over 40 and it is so smooth. SO CREATE A OFFLINE ACCOUNT FOR SINGLE PLAYER!!!! I'm running this game with my 8800GT 512MB and C2D E8400 3GHz and I'm using 1280x1024 resolution with High/medium settings (View Distance: 25
Detail Distance: 37) and I get fps over 40. I can even max traffic density out and Holy shi* guys. That is insane. So many cars and people on the street so it almost looks like New York City in real life.
