It had been rumored that AMD’s Mantle API support would come to the PC game, while Nvidia Gameworks pulled down a setting on their GTA V page claiming TXAA support was coming.

In addition, current-gen console players might actually be experiencing a graphics nerf with a recent patch to the game. reported by Kotaku . Rockstar confirmed this and released a statement saying they are aware of the bug and a fix is on the way.

The PC screenshots for Grand Theft Auto V truly showcase the visual beauty of what is essentially a game from 2013. While the PC version might be brand new on the scene, GTA V has enjoyed massive critical success to which hopefully this beefier version of the game can help contribute.
Grand Theft Auto V releases on PC April 14.
