Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
The Enhanced edition adds DLSS and FSR. A free FPS boost — the original Legacy version has no upscaler.
Ray-Traced ShadowsOffsaves FPS
Enhanced-edition ray-traced shadows. A nice touch but a real cost — keep Off for high FPS.
Shadow QualityNormal+8% FPS
Shadow resolution. High looks great and runs well.
Reflection QualityNormal+7% FPS
One of GTA V’s heaviest settings — reflections on cars, water and windows. High over Ultra is a big saving.
Texture QualityVery High-1% FPS
Surface detail — cheap if it fits your VRAM. Very High is fine on modern cards.
Grass QualityHighbaseline
Countryside grass density. "Very High" famously tanks FPS for a small visual gain — High is the sweet spot.
Extended Distance ScalingMidbaseline
How much extra detail pops in at distance — partly CPU-bound. Lower it if you are CPU-limited.
Ambient OcclusionNormalbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Normal is a cheap, good-looking choice.
Post FXHighbaseline
Bloom, depth of field and light shafts. High is plenty.
TessellationNormalbaseline
Adds rounded detail to surfaces. Normal is a low-impact saving.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps roads and pavement sharp into the distance — essentially free, use 16x.
