So i have pre ordered gta V for pc physical copy. I wonder how many hours i install the game?? The game is 65GB.

The 1 hour estimate was just a guess on how much time it may take take to fully install the game from multiple DVDs. You will also likely have to run an update on the game after installation and that will add to the time.

Regardless, it will take some time. Please let us know the actual time it took upon completion.

Have fun!

I heard It's 7 CD's.



He has a physical copy so he is wondering about install time.

Assuming this, the time to install would depend on the speed of the hardware (particularly storage) of the system and whether the OP is at the ready to exchange DVDs as needed. Could take up to an hour, possibly.

Wow thanks for such quick replies :) So one hour is approximately the download time from a disk? I have WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0 HDD,
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH15F dvd reader and asus m5a78l-m/usb3 mobo

Umm if you have to download the game once you buy the disks what is the point of buying the disks?! XD
