60 FPS and 120+ FPS |
|
Some physics elements (clothes in particular) are broken above 30 FPS and experience the effect of "jumping" between the state before initiating the movement of said object and the state of motion of said object.[18] |
High dynamic range display (HDR) |
|
Cinematic and Game HDR modes available. Game mode delivers full HDR capabilities. Cinematic mode appears washed out and desaturated as it is just SDR scaled up in brightness.[19][20] Peak Brightness and Paper White calibration settings are available[21][22], though the Paper White calibration tooltip is wrong: the intent is not to make the Rockstar logo disappear, but it's to scale up the brightness until the highlights can reach your peak brightness (e.g. around 250 for a peak of 800 nits).[23]
HDR needs to be enabled in Windows before starting the game for the options to appear when using DirectX 12.[24] HDR is only functional while in fullscreen mode when using Vulkan.[25] |
Color blind mode |
|
Protanopia, Deuteranopia or Tritanopia. |
- Disables forced DLSS sharpening (which is still enabled even with slider set to 0) and enables DLSS auto exposure for less ghosting. The excessive sharpening caused instability on camera movement and haloing.
- Works with newer DLSS DLLs dropped into the game folder.
- Makes the picture slightly softer but still sharper than native TAA.
- Requires applying the fix on each launch.

Error: unexpected shutdown due to lack of memory (ERR_GFX_D3D_DEFERRED_MEM)
- This error occurs when changing the API from Vulkan to D3D12 or vice versa, it throws the error message regardless of the graphics quality or whether the minimum and recommended requirements are met.
Restore the graphics API.
|
- Go to configuration file(s) location
- Open the file, and find the "
<advancedGraphics> " section.
- In
<API>kSettingAPI_XXXX</API> , change Vulkan to D3D12 (DX12) or vice versa (Replace the XXXX with the API).

Set Screen Type to Windowed Borderless in the Graphics settings.[47]
|
Edit a config file to center the HUD or set the horizontal safezone to any percentage[48]

- Save the changes.
- Right-click the file and select Properties.
- Check the Read-only box to prevent the game from making permanent changes to it.
