Grand Theft Auto 5 on the PC offers a whole host of graphical options that will be sure to please anyone with a high-end graphics card, and those with low-end graphics cards will be more than happy to know that the game even scales down so they can play it with smooth framerates.
It's a refreshing change from the console ports that don't really offer much in terms of customizability. The options available in GTA 5's PC version more than solidify Rockstar's claim that this truly is the "ultimate" version of the game.
