Grand Theft Auto V (DX11)

Now a truly venerable title, GTA V is a veteran of past game suites that is still graphically demanding as they come. As an older DX11 title, it provides a glimpse into the graphically intensive games of yesteryear that don't incorporate the latest features. Originally released for consoles in 2013, the PC port came with a slew of graphical enhancements and options. Just as importantly, GTA V includes a rather intensive and informative built-in benchmark, somewhat uncommon in open-world games.

The settings are identical to its previous appearances, which are custom as GTA V does not have presets. To recap, a "Very High" quality is re-used to stay consistent with previous testing. For "Very High," all primary graphics settings turned up to their highest setting, except grass, which is at its own very high setting. Meanwhile 4x MSAA is enabled for direct views and reflections. This setting also involves turning on some of the advanced rendering features - the game's long shadows, high resolution shadows, and high definition flight streaming - but not increasing the view distance any further.

Overall, while NVIDIA hardware tends to perform well on GTA, the GTX 1650 has the smallest lead on the GTX 1050 cards compared to the other titles in the suite. Although firmly edging out those cards, it opens a sizable performance gap to the GTX 1060 3GB. Its relative performance compared to the Pascal predecessors is in line with the GTX 1660 and 1660's modest lead on the GTX 1060 6GB and 3GB.
