// My GTA V 'Optimal Configuration' 2021
//
// This configuration is suited to a more recent GPU, and aims to provide the smoothest
// possible graphics while enhancing detail. It runs quite well on my RTX 3070 (~60-70FPS).
// * Note 1: I rely on several features found in the Nvidia Control Panel, for which I don't
// know the AMD equivalents (if any). Should still look OK without these, but there will be
// noticeable aliasing, especially without TXAA, MFAA + the LOD Bias tweaks.
// * Note 2: I haven't tried this in GTA 5 online; this is aimed at single-player only.
//
//
// Find your settings.xml file, typically under c:\Users\[username]\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V
// Make a copy of settings.xml as a backup. Open the original settings file, and copy and paste the
// text further below over the existing text between the <graphics> </graphics> tags. Save and close
// when done, then right-click on settings.xml and under Properties, tick 'read only', otherwise the
// game will change the settings when next you run it.
//
// Lastly, before launching GTA V, go to the Nvidia Control Panel, and under Manage 3D Settings >
// Program Settings, find (or add) a profile for GTA5.exe, and make the following changes:
//
// Image Sharpening: Select On, set Sharpen to 0.01 and Ignore Film Grain to 1.00
// Anisotropic Filtering: 16x
// Multi-Frame Sampled AA: On
// Texture Filtering - Negative LOD Bias: Allow
// click Apply, then launch the game.
//
// Cheers,
