Best GTA V and GTA Online graphics settings for Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti in 2023

The newest titles, GTA V and GTA V Online from Rockstar Games are now almost ten years old. They remain two of the most demanding games in terms of graphics. The vast open world and multiple playable characters provide detailed visuals and amazing gameplay.

Running them on low-end GPUs will be tricky. Conventionally, inclining towards the visual aspect could cost you a few FPS and vice versa. But with Nvidia GeForce GTX 3070 and the GTX 3070 Ti, you might not have to compromise much on either graphics or FPS.

With the advanced settings turned off, you will find more frame rates on both graphics cards. Shadow and particle effects are some of the most taxing graphics features on most AAA titles. You can leave the graphics settings ultra-high if you own a high-performing graphics card.

However, the mid-range and upper-mid-range cards will need a little optimization. Also, pairing the RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti with a complementary CPU is crucial to determine the best performance levels.
