ok just some notes, following up on DF's advice I actually created a GOD (Games on Demand) version of disc 2 and placed it on the 360 formatted segment of my USB HDD, and it actually looks like the pop-in has been reduced significantly. I'm not noticing anywhere near as many trash cans popping up in view when driving fast. Looks like GTA V is utilizing every ounce of bandwidth the consoles can offer so doubling up on a single resource is not adviseable, instead off loading half the load to the HDD and half to a USB does the trick.

so, 360 owners, follow this advice.

install the disc 1 mandatory install content on your official, on-board 360 HDD. Install disc 2 to a separate USB (make sure the USB is a good one, not a shitty SD card speed device for optimal results)

also, TREVOR IS A MOTHER FUCKING SADIST !!.. there are some REALLY fucked up missions as Trevor later on lol, full on "kaala paani" style torture of tied victims etc.

u know thats a very good idea to load the disc 2 off external device.

I've been playing the game as it was intended (disc 1 installed in hdd and disc2 off the dvd) and it works fine. Last night I tried both discs in internal HDD and I noticed slow pop ups and more FPS drops.

I don't want to use the DVD rom so external USB might be a good option....


Here is my question...

Which one has a faster data transfer on the xbox? USB or DVD Rom?

I'm not sure if Xbox uses USB 1 or 2, neither am I sure if the DVD ROM uses SATA 1 or 2.

If we are able to find out which one out of the both is faster, it would mean that's the optimal game performance you can get out of the system...

^^I've been playing Disc 2 off of my external USB HDD this whole time so I haven't been having any issues with pop ins or anything like that. Just a little bit in the first few mins but after that it's been great.

1. Depends, the 360 caps the USB/SATA speed at 16MB/s, so you're advised to use a good branded USB or if you have a laptop HDD in a USB enclosure, that would work just fine. I have two portable Western Digital HDD's.. and there's nothing better than WD for portable HDD's (suck it seagate loosers) so that's what I would recommend.

2. Xbox uses USB 2.0, but it runs at a cap of 16MB/s (a figure obtained from digital foundry) so don't expect to get 25~MB/s speeds if you're using a good USB. But do expect it to be faster (and obviously less strenuous on your 360 lens and the vent fans) compared to using the DVD drive.

bottom line: A good USB will always be a better choice than running the game off of the disc. For many reasons, including less vent noise, less wear and tear on your drive and a definite boost in read/seek speeds.

Grand Theft Auto 5: the Digital Foundry verdict

At last, Rockstar North's monstrous open-world caper is here in all its glory - but after five years and an estimated £170 million being sunk into development and marketing, which version is the one to buy? After playing both versions extensively and amassing over 2TB of lossless video to analyse, we must stress that you're bound to have a fantastic time with either take. Lighting and physics engines are fully intact on both versions, and the minor differences in reflection mapping go down as nitpicks. At its core, both PS3 and 360 present the same massive Los Angeles-inspired sprawl via the same 720p native resolution lens, with almost entirely identical effects and object detail.

However, it's apparent that the PS3 version has an undeniable advantage in one area: even to the naked eye, ground textures on 360 are blurred as a result of what appears to be unoptimised asset streaming. Glitch or not, this basically amounts to concrete and grass textures appearing fuzzier beneath the feet of Trevor, Michael or Franklin, while the PS3 version's remain crystal clear. The 360 does command a minor advantage in frame-rate during synchronised play, but for shoot-outs and high-speed hurtles down the city streets, the PS3 can sometimes pull ahead in these metrics - though the difference is rarely perceptible either way. Since all else is identical across the board, the PS3 version is recommended on the grounds of image quality if you have the option.

Grand Theft Auto 5 easily counts as the most feature-rich and eye-catching sandbox title of the current generation to our minds, though the silence on the as-yet unannounced PC and next-gen releases is deafening. Adaptations must surely be in the running - and doubtless these would be bolstered by smoother performance and higher-grade effects afforded by more muscular hardware. But that's perhaps missing the point; with so much heist-plotting content crammed into one package, and with an intriguing 16-player online mode yet to be patched in, there's no time like the present to enjoy Los Santos' delights on the platforms you already own.

Digital Foundry gives the nod to PS3 version w.r.t Image Quality :tv:

 

[Chandoo]

texture streaming glitch ? probably gonna get fixed in the first title update. Average of 2FPS advantage is what matters here (sm1)

can't say I noticed the texture glitch until pointed out, i'm just happy to have the pop up lessened to the point of not being visible with the USB install.

FPS advantages? What?

The target this time is 30fps for both platforms, and it holds at that point for most areas. Overall the PS3 puts out the lower frame-rate for synchronised in-engine cut-scenes, typically by a matter of two frames-per-second and rarely much more. Curiously, the 360 version is the only one of the two to drive upwards from the 30fps target on occasion - far from being ideal, this produces a judder effect due to the frame-rate no longer operating as a multiple of the 60Hz output signal. Regardless, the readings for both consoles stick together like glue during dips below the line, with each going as low as 20fps.

For unsynchronised play involving cop chases through busier segments of the city, it's common to see drops to 20fps on both platforms as well, though a clear performance leader is hard to parse out here. Trevor's more explosive battles with rival drug dealers in the outback areas also suffer, during which the PS3 seemingly takes an advantage despite the chaotic excess of fire and smokes effects. Ultimately, the variability of this lead shows attention has been duly paid to the strengths of the PS3 architecture, where the difference is practically imperceptible to the naked eye.

Also Image Quality is superior on PS3 as mentioned by DF and combine this with the performance boost and is there any need to say this anymore?

it's a glitch, enjoy your victory until the first title update

Running straight from disc, then, there's little to distinguish the PS3 and 360 releases when it comes to environmental detail, but there are some curious catches. Flying the Cuban 800 plane around shows up variations in grass placement, but more striking is the presentation of palm trees regularly sighted around the city. Their more flourishing look on 360 is unusual given the parity elsewhere, though we notice the upshot of this is a nasty pixel-crawl across their tops during slow pans, suggesting a lack of alpha-to-coverage to mitigate the extra-thin details. Also falling within nitpick territory is a slight difference to reflection map resolution while in front of Franklin's bedroom mirror - the PS3 delivering a lower-quality, pixellated alternative to the 360's reflections
