I currently use Catalyst Control Center to overclock

I found your problem.

It's generally better practice to overclock via the BIOS. I don't really have a good reason but that's just what I've heard and it makes sense for stability reasons I guess since it's overclocked on boot and not something that's controlled by a program. "Lower level" I guess would be a better way to put it. Also what kind of overclocks you can get vary from chip to chip depending on the cut of silicon the chip is made out of. I easily achieved 4.0GHz on my 955 while I know some people struggled with a 965 (955 = 3.2 stock and 965 is 3.4) to even break 3.8GHz. Just depends really.

Catalyst Control Center is used to overclock the video card. What do you use for overclocking AMD cards then?

Sorry should have said better to use the BIOS to overclock CPU's. GPU's need to be overclocked via software and CCC is normally what I've used for that. CPU though I'd advise the BIOS.

GTA V runs beautiful on my machine,Constant 60 FPS and doesnt budge with most of the settings pretty much maxed out (Vsync on of course)..not tried turning it off yet to see my full fps.

The gripe im having with GTA V atm,I cant seem to set it to run at 120hz..in the graphics settings its set at 60 and wont let me change it. (its greyed out)
Maybe i can edit the games .Ini file manually and change it.

Also,Whats the point in the Benchmark tool,It doesn't run then give you a final score?..or am i doing something wrong? :confused:

I believe benchmark just runs endlessly like in GTA IV (or is it supposed to end)... Really you just look at the image and FPS as they fly by.

I like to use the in-game steam FPS counter that's really tiny and nicely fits in the top left of games..

I'll for sure try to OC with my Mobo tomorrow (this) morning. Have to go to sleep first though, it's 12:40am and prom is later today :p

On my rig I am having some fps dips with settings maxxed out I will have to play around a tune some things down. I do not think the Nvidia Geforce Experience program is setting the graphics settings optimally quite yet.

I haven't had any issues except sometimes when tabbing out. Normally I get impatient then the game freaks out because I try and switch back and forth too fast.

Fixed that for you.

I've learned that for alt tabbing issues in GTA V if you bring up your task manager and select the program, and then click "Switch To" it actually works really well. Normally this doesn't do anything in most other games that have issues like this but for this one it does the trick.

Also I'm addicted to this game all over again.

Are you playing the game at the same resolution as your desktop?

Yes. I have noticed that it will sometimes make it act like the game is in a window and have the borders and I'll sometimes need to hit ALT+Enter to get it to go to fullscreen again. I've had this issue with other games. Using the Switch To button in the Task Manager has worked everytime since I started doing that though so I don't have any issues now.

I started delving into mods. Anybody else played around with them yet?

Angry Planes, Vehicle Cannon, and Riot Mode are particularly fun. Also trying out some car handling tweaks. Got one that makes the Entity XF going 270mph in game. All cars in the game are capped at 140mph or so by default. Makes the map feel tiny when I can drive that fast. Handling was adjusted to deal with the speed and it actually works really well.
