Questions about GTA 5

1 Yes. Higher resolutions are harder to run. 1080 is not known as a high resolution though so you will be find with a 1070.

2. SSD's decrease loading times a significant amount but other than that there isn't much point.

3. Only overclock if you need more performance. If you are satisfied with what your pc can do then there is no reason to put extra stress on the components.

4. I dont think you linked settings.

5. To be honest it is very hard to do this in gtav. I have been playing gtav for a year on pc and i still tweak my graphics every couple weeks. Just search a video for that one.

6. GTAV is a pretty well made game overall so there shouldnt be any crazy setting changing needed.

1. Does your monitor matter? - I have a sony monitor which is supposed to be used for playstation 4. It has 60 hz refresh rate and a 1920x1080p resolution. Do I need a better monitor so my screen doesnt tear?

Yes. That monitor can be used for a PC as well. Tearing involves the GPU sending information to the TV/monitor faster than it can process. that TV is capable of handling 60FPS. When you exceed that you are sending too much information to your monitor. Look into your in game Graphics Options. See Vsync? Enabling that caps your FPS(Frames Per Second) to the refresh rate of your monitor. Your TV is the bottleneck, not your PC.

2. Should I buy an SSD? - I never knew when buying my PC that these mattered this much. Should I buy one?

You can. At this point it would seem like your system is performing VERY well. If you WANT to migrate your OS to the SSD and load all your games on there you can. Necessary? Not really. It will reduce your game load times. It will speed up WIndows. It will not help FPS at all. IMO your PC isn't broke so I wouldn't fix it. 500GB Samsung 850 Evo or the 250GB model.

3. Should I overlclock my CPU or other components? - I have a GTX 1070 and an i5 6600k. Should I overclock either of them?

4.

IDK what that means. I see a reverse bonk incompatible and a 404 page.
No. Your TV is already overwhelmed. OCing will make it worse.

5. Any suggestions to improve my graphics? - Sorry I am a total noob to getting good FPS while achieving nice graphics.

But a 144Hz TV or monitor.

6. Do settings in your control panel/ graphics card settings matter? - Do I need to optimize my computer at all before I start gaming because I have no idea what to do...

LOL That is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE question. You can go to your power options and set it to High performance. Don't see that? Look below balanced and click show hidden profiles(or something like that). You can go to Nvidia Control Panel and click on 3D settings. Make sure Prefer Maximum Performance is selected next to Power Management. You can stop all unnecessary background progrmas BUT you have a high end system. It should be able to handle some weight. Trimming the fat might help but helps more with budget builds.






PLEASE don't spoon feed us. We can handle the entire steak. We prefer a complete parts list. Seeing a CPU and GPU does not a computer make. Complete includes the PSU's COMPLETE make and model number.

That isnt a "HUUUUUUUUGE" quesiton. He is simply asking if there are any nvidia control panel options that are worth changing, have you never changed them before?

Do you have a budget for a monitor?
