ProcedureĪll benchmarks are completed using the in-game benchmark utility and placing the results into an excel spreadsheet. Moving it to 'High' shot up memory usage exponentially, and 'Very High' even further. In fact, I found that the 'Normal' setting was about nominal. Limited video memory means you just can't have the texture quality up all the way. The two largest memory hogs in GTA V are the texture quality and AA settings.
