With less than a week to go before Grand Theft Auto V's long-awaited release for PC, developer Rockstar Games has now revealed the open-world title's extensive graphics options.
As you can see in the images embedded in this post, GTA V for PC has two settings for visuals: Graphics and Advanced Graphics. Players can toggle all manner of settings, including the overall resolution, aspect ratio, population density (and variety), distance scaling, and lots more.
You can even determine how nice-looking you want water and grass to be in the game. GTA V for PC also allows players to tweak keyboard/mouse settings and set key bindings, among other things.
GTA V launches for PC arrives worldwide on April 14. The digital version of the game is available now to pre-load from the Rockstar Warehouse and Steam, while the physical PC edition may ship on seven discs.
For lots more on the PC edition of GTA V, check out GameSpot's new interview with Rockstar North. You can also watch this video to learn lots more about the game's new editor and director mode.

@leakingdogmilk When it looks one year newer and has lots of improvements over the year-old version, it's worth the wait.
Because none of us own consoles right?
This is just the version we've all been waiting for, 60fps + mods......can't wait
@leakingdogmilk Good thing there are other means
@5hd6j @leakingdogmilk I'm actually kinda sad (but also some what excited at the same time) that it's coming out next tuesday, I got other games I wanna complete before jumping into this.
MASTER EDDIE RACE
@attirex BEHOLD THE SANCTUM OF PULITZER PRIZES
SUCH JOURNALISM IN THESE HALLS
WOW that is some options menu.
Screenshot of GTA 5 and The Witcher 3 convinced me to become a member of the Master Race, i bought a GTX 980.
As a firsthand witness, i must say that once you go PC there is no way i am touching a console again.
@rognak you should start with playing F.E.A.R and Gothic 3.
@gogoplexiorayo2 @rognak Gothic 2, 3 was average.
@Random_Matt @gogoplexiorayo2 @rognak i have actually only played the third one.
@gogoplexiorayo2 @Random_Matt @rognak Oh, gothic 2 gold is the hardest game in history, through my experience.
@Random_Matt @gogoplexiorayo2 @rognak yes i have watched dwterminators review of gothic 2 and it looks very difficult...
@Random_Matt @gogoplexiorayo2 @rognak HAVE SOME BACKBONE MORA
...yes it was hard
@5hd6j @Random_Matt @gogoplexiorayo2 @rognak Gothic 3 was also difficult. Gothic 3 was my second RPG ever, the first one being Oblivion.
@rognak Consoles are for kids and low income adults
@bcoolrob @rognak Really? I have known rich families who live in small mansions who prefer consoles. Stupid statement.
@bcoolrob @Random_Matt @rognak that's like the bestest come back bro lolz yolo swag more yolo and swag lolz...........................NOT
Thats a very childish statement. My guess? Spoiled 16 year old....
@rognak Welcome to the club!
So much for you to catch up on!
@rognak Welcome to the year 2000. Better late than never
@Random_Matt @bcoolrob @rognak LOL small mansions seriously? LOL :-)
@bcoolrob @Random_Matt @rognak I think he meant apartment complex LOL
Sick of console gamers shitting on PC gamers and vice-a-versa.
Welcome to the party PC Gamers, Glad you finnaly made it!!!
@homey_d_clown thanks. to many console plebs ruining it for everyone because they want people to play in their segregated communities.
@joegrizly @homey_d_clown ps4 vs xbox vs nintendo (recently)
PC MASTER RACE!
@joegrizly yes, the torrenting will be through the roof!
@Xristophoros @joegrizly Yeah because no one leaked consoles games before. *sarcasm*
I'm assuming the population density slider applies to offline only, would make the online mode unbalanced if people are dealing with varying amounts of traffic
Nice screen res but 29Hz - really? :/
@Extreme_0ne 4k res
@Extreme_0ne possible the screenshot from 4k monitor that only support 30hz . few cheap one are like that . it need displayport 1.2 or hdmi 2.0 for 60hz
@Extreme_0ne 4K resolution on a monitor whose connector may only be capable of supporting it at that frame rate.
That's quite unexpected...but definitely welcome.
But,will the settings run at 1080p 60 FPS? Eddie?
@sonicblast19 Why would they not?
@sonicblast19 not without 6 gigs of VRAM for those settings it won't.
@alaskancrab @sonicblast19 I would have thought 6gb of VRAM would be for 4k 1080p should be fine on 3gb and even 2gb cards for 60fps.
@alaskancrab @sonicblast19 Lol, more like 2gb...
Well they said to hit 1080p 60fps you only need the recommended (660), to play at 4k 30fps you only need a 960, 4k 60fps ultra however is sli/xfire.
This is from an article today on pcgamer
Thats bullshit stop making stuff up.
Grass se-- oh wait, everyone already mentioned these are standard PC game features.
By comparison to some other titles, including little indie ones, this options menu is lacking.
Grass settings are common and most pc games feauture that...so how is this news worthy?
@RogerioFM @Acillatem1993 As soon as you mentioned "blew his mind", i thought actual grass.
@Acillatem1993 Right? Eddie bought a PC and that blew his mind.
Really, this is news worthy? Well.... ok then.
@Damazig @RogerioFM Yeah, that was tiresome too. IGN is not a great site, but at least the have news like this.
http://www. ign.com/articles/2015/04/09/esa-says-preserving-old-games-is-illegal-because-its-hacking
@RogerioFM @Damazig Just read that (thanks for posting btw) and my reaction was "This is bs!!"
@RogerioFM neither were all the crappy bloodborn adds.
