I’ve jumped straight into Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced on PC, and the distinction in efficiency and picture high quality is large. GTA V is lastly the place it must be for PC gamers after ready years for this replace to reach. The enhancements aren’t simply visible, although, with loading occasions additionally improved massively, offered you’re utilizing an SSD.
The GTA V system necessities have been adjusted for this new model of the sport, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU is now a part of the advisable specs. GTA V Legacy will keep reside for now, in case you’re anxious your PC can’t deal with the brand new model, however sure on-line options could also be inaccessible.
Wanting on the efficiency figures from operating the sport on an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, enjoying from the intro by way of to the top of the primary mission as Franklin, within the Most RT graphics profile, I used to be capable of obtain 119fps with a 109fps 1% low. Efficiency is buttery easy and the picture high quality is far improved over the uninteresting, ageing textures from earlier than the replace.
Within the above picture, you possibly can even see an enormous distinction between the 2 highest graphical profiles, due to ray tracing. Further background particulars can be found within the most settings, comparable to scaffolding and a very totally different, extra detailed texture getting used on the crane.
Shadows naturally look very totally different between the 2 modes, with softer edges and extra gradual dispersion of the shadows within the ray tracing profile, and harsher, much less pure shadows throughout the Very Excessive profile.
Enabling Nvidia DLSS will trigger slightly little bit of ghosting on shifting surroundings, autos, and NPCs, however this was solely noticeable when going again over my screenshots.
GTA V is sort of 12 years previous, and this may’t be missed, however with this new enhanced replace, its visuals are propelled proper again into the highest tier. It’s the much-needed refresh that the PC model of the sport has been crying out for in additional methods than one.
Past simply the visuals, the loading occasions are additionally a lot improved, presumably due to the addition of assist for Microsoft DirectStorage. Not solely is it a lot simpler to get into the sport, with the dreaded lengthy preliminary loading time diminished to lower than 15 seconds, however the skill to skip cutscenes and leap ahead to the following part of gameplay is now nearly on the spot, without having to attend for loading to be full earlier than you possibly can skip.
All in all, the GTA V Enhanced replace is an enormous win for Rockstar, and whereas it gained’t quell the fad if the GTA 6 launch date window on PC remains to be years away, it not less than makes returning to Los Santos on PC much more pleasant proper now.
GTA V Enhanced has already seen its participant depend on Steam leap massively, however opinions are combined as a consequence of participant complaints about this not being GTA 6, whereas others consider the replace isn’t sufficient.
