GTA V 'Optimal Configuration' 2021

// My GTA V 'Optimal Configuration' 2021 // // This configuration is suited to a more recent GPU, and aims to provide the smoothest // possible graphics while enhancing detail. It runs quite well on my RTX 3070 (~60-70FPS). // * Note 1: I rely on several features found in the Nvidia Control Panel, for which I don't // know the AMD equivalents (if any). Should still look OK without these, but there will be // noticeable aliasing, especially without TXAA, MFAA + the LOD Bias tweaks. // * Note 2: I haven't tried this in GTA 5 online; this is aimed at single-player only. // // // Find your settings.xml file, typically under c:\Users\[username]\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V // Make a copy of settings.xml as a backup. Open the original settings file, and copy and paste the // text further below over the existing text between the <graphics> </graphics> tags. Save and close // when done, then right-click on settings.xml and under Properties, tick 'read only', otherwise the // game will change the settings when next you run it. // // Lastly, before launching GTA V, go to the Nvidia Control Panel, and under Manage 3D Settings > // Program Settings, find (or add) a profile for GTA5.exe, and make the following changes: // // Image Sharpening: Select On, set Sharpen to 0.01 and Ignore Film Grain to 1.00 // Anisotropic Filtering: 16x // Multi-Frame Sampled AA: On // Texture Filtering - Negative LOD Bias: Allow // click Apply, then launch the game. // // Cheers, // Koroush
