GTA 5 last received a major graphics and gameplay upgrade for consoles, oooh, a million years ago—or at least it feels like it at this point. However, the PC version of GTA 5 Enhanced finally launched on March 4, and I've been busy performance testing it with two graphics cards you might actually own from the just-departed generation, the RTX 4070 and RX 7800 XT.
Two performant, mid-range cards, faced with the task of running a near 12-year-old game with a host of modern graphical upgrades sprinkled on top—including ray traced shadows and reflections, upgraded ambient occlusion and global illumination, and the addition of some DLSS 3 and FSR 3 upscaling help to keep those frame rates smooth.
