About Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V has shipped across three console generations, so the experience you get depends heavily on the platform. On PS5 and Xbox Series X, the 'Expanded & Enhanced' edition adds three display modes: Fidelity, which targets 30fps at the highest resolution with ray-traced reflections; Performance, which targets a smooth 60fps; and Performance RT, which aims to combine ray tracing with a higher frame rate at some resolution cost. For most play in Los Santos, Performance mode's 60fps is the sweet spot for driving, shooting, and Online, while Fidelity suits sightseeing and photo work. Xbox Series S offers a reduced subset of these options at lower resolution to hold its targets. The original PS4 and Xbox One releases run at 30fps with no performance option. HDR is supported on the current-gen edition and worth calibrating for the city's neon nights and bright coastal days, and a VRR display smooths the dips that heavy traffic and explosions can cause in Performance RT.
Best display & mode settings
- 1On PS5 or Series X, pick Performance mode for a 60fps target — it makes driving, aiming, and Online play far more responsive than the 30fps Fidelity mode.
- 2Choose Fidelity mode when you want the sharpest image and ray-traced reflections for cruising, cinematics, or photo mode, where a 30fps target is fine.
- 3Performance RT blends ray tracing with a higher frame rate but can dip in dense traffic or firefights — a VRR-capable TV (HDMI 2.1) keeps it smooth.
- 4On PS4, Xbox One, or Series S, accept the lower ceiling: last-gen is locked to 30fps, and Series S trades resolution to hold its targets.
- 5Calibrate HDR on the current-gen edition for Los Santos's neon nightlife and bright daytime coast, and enable your TV's Game Mode to cut input lag in Online.
