There has been a lot of talk already about the three new Performance Modes available for the GTA 5 Expanded & Enhanced Edition. The modes are listed as Fidelity, Performance, and Performance RT. Fidelity mode is the only one that offers 30FPS and does not seem to be meeting everyone's expectations.

A few next-gen gamers are saying that the mode is a real letdown, while others have not experienced the same problems. Popular industry source Broughy was one of the first to tweet about the new Fidelity Mode and give his own opinion. He felt as though the 30FPS was not worth it, and the performance felt a bit clunky, as he showed in a short clip while driving a car.

Other gamers tweeted about other issues with Fidelity mode, like the fact that it takes longer to use the phone camera, for example. These players also had issues while driving cars, explaining that it was almost not worth using this mode.

While some GTA Online gamers shared Broughy's views, the overwhelming majority were very pleased with the spectacular details of the new graphics in 4K resolution.

GTA Online gamers are still posting a slew of current shots and clips from the game showcasing all of the performance modes, but none quite as much as the Fidelity Mode.

Some fans feel as though Fidelity Mode is worth using for the improved textures and ray tracing, which appear to be better than in the other two modes. Blades of grass, underwater interactions, reflections, and weather all feel a bit more realistic to some gamers. The thunderstorm clip in the above tweet by @rexxgta is a perfect example of the type of graphics players were hoping to see.

Many players completely disagree with how Broughy and others reacted to the new graphics mode and cannot wait to share their own clips and screenshots from their experiences.

With all of this new information now available to GTA Online fans, and much more to come over the next few weeks, it is great to already see such coverage from every point of view. GTA Online Expanded & Enhanced is certainly going to be the most talked-about game until fans receive a trailer for GTA 6.
