To get the best graphics in GTA 5 without overloading your PC, you need to find the right balance between visual quality and performance by tweaking in-game settings and optimizing your system. Here’s a comprehensive guide based on expert recommendations and community-tested settings.

1. Anti-Aliasing
Keep FXAA enabled for smooth edges without heavy performance cost. Use MSAA at 2x or 4x if your GPU can handle it; avoid going higher than 4x to prevent large FPS drops. NVIDIA TXAA should be off for better performance.

2. VSync
Generally, turn VSync off to reduce input lag and improve FPS. However, if you experience screen tearing or GPU overheating, enabling it might help stabilize frame rates.

3. Texture Quality
Set textures to High or Very High if your GPU has at least 6-8GB VRAM. Lower textures on older or low-end GPUs to Medium to save VRAM without drastically hurting visuals.

4. Population Density and Variety:
Reducing population density and variety to low or medium settings can significantly improve FPS by lowering the number of NPCs and vehicles rendered, especially in crowded areas.

5. Distance Scaling:
Set this to medium (around 50-80%) to maintain decent draw distances without taxing your system too much. Higher values improve visuals but can cause stuttering on weaker PCs.

6. Shadows and Reflections:
Shadows and reflections are performance-heavy. Use softer shadows and medium reflection quality if you want better FPS. Turning reflection MSAA to 2x or off can also help.

7. Grass, Water, and Particle Quality:
Medium or High settings for grass and water provide good visuals without excessive FPS drops. Particle quality can be set to Normal or High depending on your system.

8. Post FX and Ambient Occlusion:
Post FX and Ambient Occlusion add realism but can be demanding. Set them to High or Very High if your GPU supports it; otherwise, lower them for smoother gameplay.
