FXAA works okay on its own as an alternative.ĮDIT: Thanks to /u/Cuboix for recommending that if you drop Shadow Quality down to High, you should then have enough overhead to enable 2x MSAA (with TXAA if you have Nvidia). I'm sure you could dial down some of the other settings to minimise the impact.

High Resolution Shadows (also in Advanced Graphics) has a high performance cost with little visual payout, in my opinion. Set this to Very High.Įxtended Distance Scaling and Extended Shadows Distance (in Advanced Graphics) both give my GPU a beating. On Ultra it halves my frame rate in rural areas. Note my rig is pretty basic and not very fast. GTA V is amazingly well-optimised, but there are still a couple of settings I've found which bring the frame rate down. With every new PC game comes a few particular settings which will tank your frame rate.
