Rockstar Releases New GTA V Game Trailer

Grand Theft Auto V, currently one of the hottest PC games, was finally released for the PC on April 14, 2015. Developed by Rockstar, it is set in 2013, the city of Los Santos. It utilizes the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) which Rockstar has been using since 2006, with multiple updates for technology improvements.

We will be testing GTA V using the Very High graphic settings, Anisotropic Filtering set to X8 and Reflection MSAA set at X8. For the Resolution we will be pushing 4K settings with 3840×2160. With the randomness of an open world environment, we used the integrated benchmark for GTA V, we ran it three times and averaged the results.
