Video
Graphics settings
| Graphics feature | State | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Widescreen resolution | |||
| Multi-monitor | Hor+ gameplay, windowboxed cinematics, pillarboxed elements.[12][13] Use related PCGW community tool as a workaround. |
||
| Ultra-widescreen | Hor+ gameplay, windowboxed cinematics, various pillarboxed scenes, the UI can look different between fullscreen and not at resolutions that are not 16:9.[Note 3] Use related PCGW community tool as a workaround. |
||
| 4K Ultra HD | [15] | ||
| Field of view (FOV) | Sliders with 11 positions for the third person and first person views. Use the related PCGW community tool for further FOV adjustment. |
||
| Windowed | |||
| Borderless fullscreen windowed | |||
| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Up to 16x. | ||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | TAA Medium/High (sharpening slider available), FXAA toggle, up to 8x MSAA (separate options for game as a whole as well as reflections) and SSAA through Resolution Scale option. | ||
| High-fidelity upscaling | DLSS 2.2, FSR 2.2 [16][17] |
||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | Includes Half refresh rate and separate Triple buffering options. | ||
| 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] |
||
| Ray tracing (RT) | |||
| Color blind mode | Protanopia, Deuteranopia or Tritanopia. | ||
Display settings
Camera settings
DLSS Sharpening and Auto-Exposure fix
- 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.
