Grand Theft Auto V

Publisher: Rockstar Games

From our Grand Theft Auto V review:

'GTA V is a hugely entertaining, astonishingly diverse game which unfortunately has a rather thick streak of bitterness through it that, regardless of it jumping up and down shouting "but it's SATIRE", slightly sours the whole experience. It's like an ageing A-list movie star, undeniably talented and inconceivably rich, that despite the extensive plastic surgery remains rather set in its ways, and occasionally says things you may find more than a little distasteful.

Then it goes and robs a bank just because it can, and despite yourself you kind of fall in love with it again.
'

GTA V is tested with 'Very High' settings. This means putting all the default settings to their highest values, except for Grass Quality, Post FX and Reflection Quality, which have 'Ultra' options that we don't use, and Motion Blur which is disabled. We use FXAA, leaving the performance killing MSAA disabled, with 16x Ansiotropic Filtering applied as well. The settings in the Advanced Graphics menu are left off. We use the game's built-in benchmark, recording performance during the last 60 seconds of the longest scene, which is the most demanding part. It involves flying a jet over a city at high speed followed by a car chase through busy streets, complete with gunfire, crashes and explosions - everything you'd expect from a high action open world game.
