GTA 5 PC graphics settings revealed

One of the reasons gamers love PCs is the ability to tweak the experience to meet their individual preferences, and it looks like Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC is loaded with graphical sliders and toggles.

The game auto detects your system’s capabilities and sets the graphics accordingly, but you have the ability to bypass this and tweak the settings to your heart’s content. A video memory slider shows you how much video memory is being utilised by the chosen settings.
