Should have been more precise - the R5 graphic is in-built with 500 MB memory and the other 2 GB graphic card is AMD Radeon HD 8500M, running WatchDogs without lags at Medium settings.

That is really good to know that card handles the high stuff games. But I doubt whether you can play City Skylines. If it does, maybe it lags.

And if you can play WatchDogs without any lags, I am sure you can play GTA 5 as well.

And RAM doesn't matter. It's just the requirement so as to run the game.

I've been playing City Skylines - works just about fine on Low-Medium settings. Yea let's see, I'm willing to risk it with Gta V, with only one ram slot, I really have no other option.

My download speed is around 270-300KB/s so it took almost 60 hours of continuous downloading!
Good luck playing GTA Online with that connection mate.

It will be totally fine - in terms of stability and latency my connection is good, which is what online gaming mostly relies on, I play lots of multiplayer games without issues.

My connection isn't great for downloading large files or streaming HD video but it handles gaming without any problems.

I will probably wait to get this. I'm planning on upgrading my computer later this year/early next year so I'll get a graphics card more capable of running it than my current one. I can run it just fine right now, but I want it to look nice when I play it :p

If I wait, we'll also have fibre by then so the download won't take as long :)

It is glorious. 1080p 60fps, high settings and it runs super silky smooth - so far it looks like they have done a great job of optimising the PC version.

Transferred my 360 character easily - kept the level and property but the cars I had aren't in my garage - I still have millions of my glitched money anyway to get them back :). Trying to find my favourite car though, the Sultan... Such a great little car.

...back to playing the game! :D

Loving the custom radio feature - just drag and drop your MP3s into the relevant folder and your music is in the game! It sounds like it's naturally broken up into a radio station as well, with talking in between songs and news updates for story events etc.

Also, I forgot just how much I love the air races, they are great fun! :D

Ordered the game today, expecting it to reach me by tomorrow.

Searching around a bit regarding the retail version of the game and I've come to know that an additional patch of around 5 GB is required to play the game and with my net connection, it can be a great nightmare to download this and the Rockstar's servers make it no easier. Could any one confirm this?

@Madman Have you tried heists yet? I'm interested to know if the matchmaking is any different on PC.

Yeah I've done a couple (Flecca Job and Pacific Standard Job) and some of the setup missions, none as the leader yet though.

I have just used the "Join On Call" option through the phone and waited to be put into a game. It seems to work quite well and I've enjoyed the heists I've done so far.

Matchmaking for races seems the same as it was when I played on 360, which means it sucks basically. I had hoped they would have made improvements here since the initial last-gen release but nope...

On a positive note, I noticed that the Blista Compact is in the game now! That was my absolute favourite car in Vice City so I'm glad to have one in my garage in GTA:O :).

Installed the game and played an online race for about 10 minutes, the speed is a major issue for someone like me playing online at 2mb/bs speed. Nevertheless, the whole idea of online play is very fascinating.

Were you able to play on High Settings?

No, not on high settings. The game lagged a little which was ruining it for me. Right now, I've got everything set to normal, playing in windowed border less mode - the graphics are pretty good still and there are no lags so I suppose that's good enough to enjoy the game. :)

It won't be the speed that's your problem when playing online, it's the latency
