Once I get my new graphics card in the fall, I'm definitely triple dipping.

The PS4/XB1 version had one so I doubt they would remove that for the PC version...the First Person FoV setting was in the "Controls" settings for those versions so it may not be listed ion the "Graphics" options on PC

Sounds promising. Glad to see it may have been worth the wait!
Competent keyboard and mouse controls are also wonderful, doubly so when aiming has usually been one of the series' main weaknesses.

I wonder if that will be under General or Game options instead.
Antialiasing, if that's what you ask
No filtering or messing about with the information received from the mouse. Usually eliminates input lag/smoothing if done properly, making it 1:1. Hopefully it's the way it is implemented.
Old games are a bit hit and miss. Shooting was always a weak point, but with the improvements done to GTA V + FPS mode, this should be fixed hopefully. Driving is of course not as smooth as on console. M+KB means digital inputs for driving
Anti-aliasing solutions. FXAA or fast approximate anti-aliasing is a post processing effect. Once the frame is drawn, it detects edges and blends the pixels around them so as to soften or eliminate aliasing (stair step effect). It's good because it's veyr easy on the hardware, high quality filters don't affect performance much. It also covers everything, geometry aliasing, shader aliasing, texture aliasing, transparency aliasing. It's not so good at sub-pixel alising though, and the main downside is that it's not perfect and tends to soften the entire frame a bit.
MSAA or multi-sampling anti-aliasing is not a post process effect. It works while the frame is still being drawn, and so it has access to certain geometric data, making it very accurate. It samples a varying number (depending on quality) of pixels to come up with a nice blend along edges. It does a tremendous job on geometry aliasing, but it falls short on just about anything else. Doesn't help with texture aliasing or shader aliasing, or transparency aliasing. It's also a lot harder on performance I think it does a better job at subpixel aliasing than FXAA though, IIRC.
Some people (and some different forms of AA) combine these two types of anti-alising for optimal coverage.

it was in the "Controls" section for PS4/XB1
this video is from the XB1 version I believe

Just actually noticed this. This kind of configuration is really cool, it's something that I'm sure many people won't even care about, but it's really great to have that kind of thing.
That's mainly just a characteristic of TXAA - it focuses a lot on motion clarity. It really put me off TXAA at first, but certain games that have a lot of shimmering in movement it really improves the quality of the image I think. I don't use it all the time, but in in AC4 for example, I felt it looked better than the rest.

Yeah it seems like it will be awesome for first person mode. Driving is always weird with a keyboard but I doubt I will want to switch back and forth. The freedom of camera movement with the mouse will be great. I always feel fairly restricted in GTA games on console in terms of the camera.
I'd say probably shadows rendered on distant terrain from certain large objects or clouds.
Loving the amount of options here; should not be a problem to configure my preffered experience with these settings. Would like to see which different AO methods they have, but I reckon it'll have the basic ones maybe excluding HBAO+ so good enough for me.

I see. Thanks guys. Looks like FXAA is the way to go since it does an OK job and less resourceful?
Ah man, this sounds like it really is going to be a proper definitive version.
So hyped.

Yeeeeeeees!
Eh. On PC, you can take resources from one area and put them towards another. And FXAA is really the very minimum you can do apart from no AA, so I always strive to do a bit better than that and if that means having to sacrifice in other areas, I often will.
Just depends on how particular about aliasing you are, I guess.
Depends on your hardware and eye for image quality, but it can be a solution if you don't want the performance hog that MSAA can be
If you have the overhead, MSAA is better at lower resolutions (1080p). FXAA comes into its own at 4K with the higher resolution negating FXAA's downsides and requiring less overall AA.
They say it works well and that they clearly have put a lot of effort into it. Shooting / headshots feel great and easy to pull off with a mouse. They didn't use it that much though, so they don't seem convinced that driving would be as good. Works with ps4 / 360 / xbox one controllers so you can mix and match if you really wanted - which I will

Can't say I was particularly impressed with the TXAA in Far Cry 4 TBH...bad implementation or just how it is?

My FX 8350 and HD 7950 is ready (^__^)
Something tells me that it will be very good PC port this time.

Oh I hadn't even noticed that, but I have to say that I'm surprised to see having MSAA for reflections on a Deferred Shading engine since generally you don't want your reflections to be as crisp as the game world due to variance in surface roughness so I'd personally just go for a PPAA on the material, but the option is great though.I like the "Reflection MSAA" option. Aliased reflections is what my pet peeve moves to once general aliasing is fixed
I see these types of posts all the time and I can't but to wonder that what level of detail are you aiming at? I mean surely with the lowest details you can do 60 fps on 1080 even with lesser hardware.
My main worry regarding mods is the integration of GTA:Online. I suspect they're even more motivated to prevent people from tampering with game files with that.
I was at first relieved to see that you can launch it separately in Steam:
But it looks like they're just shortcuts and arguments for the same executable.
Depends on which version of TXAA they used. Nvidia has multiple implementations and quality levels for this.
I might just end up enabling MFAA in combination with MSAA for maximum AA powaaa
TXAA is a ressource hog that doesn't always equate to good image quality.
I wouldn't expect to use things like TXAA and PCSS and keep 60fps. That would technically be considered "maxing" it, but those are extra settings that are included for flair and really aren't necessary.
This all sounds nice, but I'm still worried about the DRM. I'm almost convinced it'll negate everything good about the port.

fack, you need a $3k-$4k pc to run it @4k60fps. i guess ill stick to screenshots and videos to see how it looks at those settings, must be fucking glorious.

If this port is on Max Payne 3 level, I should expect 1080p@60fps at ultra settings with my i5 4670k and GTX 970 + 8 GB RAM, shouldn't I? Perhaps, I'll need to finally overclock my CPU.
Well, 4k60fps is 8 times console performance just in terms of pushed pixels, never mind all the improved effects and LoD distance on top of that.
Obviously it's going to require serious hardware.
Max Payne 3 came out three years ago man. I don't know why you'd expect performance from this game, an open world game at that, to be the same.
And I don't see any Ultra settings. If you mean 'max', then no way in hell. There's some very performance intensive settings in there and we have no idea how extreme they've let us go on the population and distance sliders.
Given a number of recent PC ports, I honestly don't mind some extra reassurance.
I will go ahead and pre-order it tonight.

I see
It means it bypasses the Windows settings of sensitivity and acceleration. It shouldn't be a big deal if you have acceleration turned off in windows and the sensitivity set on the 6/11 hash mark anyways.
But it's still nice they included that feature. Looks like a really good PC port. I'm excited!
If they've done a good job, you'll still do 1080p/60fps with good settings, though. I'm not trying to ruin your hopes. Just don't expect to turn everything all the way up and still get reasonable performance.
