Yesterday we shared a video comparison between the PC and the PS4 versions of GTA V. While it’s still too early to draw any conclusions, it became quite obvious that the PC version will sport better visuals than the current-gen console versions. Among the upcoming enhancements – that Rockstar has not officially revealed yet – will be higher resolution textures and an increased draw distance (and perhaps more on screen cars and pedestrians).
As we can see below, the PC version will feature a higher draw distance than the one found on both PS4 and Xbox One. Current-gen console is on the left whereas PC version is on the right.
Moreover, the PC version sports noticeably higher resolution textures than the current-gen console version as we can see below.
Do note that this comparison is based on the official GTA V PC screenshots and some direct-feed images from the PS4 version of GTA V. Whether Rockstar has ‘touched up’ the PC screenshots remains a mystery.
GTA V releases this March on the PC!

It still looks like crap.
It could be some type of bullshots. look on pastgen version of GTAV and then look on first Rockstar screenshots, and you will see
It will be interesting to compare these screenshots with the ones from the actual game.
i doubt it becasue the bullshots were captured running on a high end pc, i doubt they will just remove those textures in a 65gb game.
Not to mention the console versions run at 30 FPS as well.
Pre-Order and get a free game, is it going to become a thing now?

No matter what Rockstar do to the game, unfortunately majority of PC gamers are still going to throw a tantrum…
How about not giving us the game 1 and half years later than that console piece of crap.
I would rather wait a bit longer for them to rectify some bugs than releasing a game that would be riddled with them. Patience dude.
Stop believing their lies stupid kid…
So I’m stupid because I would rather wait a while for it. Wow, are you like 12 or something?
No, I’m not 12, and yes, you are stupid, “wait for a while”, how f’ing dumb are you, it’s going to be 1 year and a half since it was released on consoles until it arrives on pc.
I am 50-50 on this one.
At one hand, look at all games that came out in 2014, holy crap…they needed months of extra testing.
On the other hand rockstar is taking forever, seriously how hard is it to release it on time?
Yeah so Rockstar can go and F*CK themself for all I care. F*CKN console DIPSHITS sellout!
I wont give a cent for the ugly looking POS game, not even worth a free d/l
Expect another delay next month.
next month is too soon, they will delay it in march 20th
It also sports higher DRM. Damn you, Rockstar…
Good thing they are making use of that 65GB download.
in the mean time “This item is currently unavailable in your region”. so steam now tells me what to do with my money, lol.
it won’t even show the game’s store page.
Lets use that as an example next time someon screams “HUR DUR PC GAMERS GONNA PIRATE IT”
PS4 looks like a blurry mess. How is it with all that RAM, PC version gets sharper textures? The LOD I can understand being CPU dependant but the textures I just don’t. Also, the texture filtering is awful on consoles
i actually played 10minutes of it on my friend’s PS4, bluriness aside, those jaggies are the real cancer in console version of it.
Same here, and everytime my friend spoke something about the graphics I cringed.
I’m too used to PC, sometimes can make some discussion with friends too awkward but I’ll never regret taking the red pill 😛
BUT BUT PS4 DOES 1080P!!!!
THERE IS NO NEED FOR HIGHER RESOLUTION.
Sorry i couldnt resist.
Gta iv didnt even have AA
higher resolution textures,not that they mean higher resolution
ofcourse,4k might be available for pc
“Might be available”
Why is it that you think that developers have to allow for certain resolutions on PC games? You can use whatever res you want, you can have 3x 1080p screens, 3x 1440p screens or even 3x 4K screens.
Only games i’ve ever seen locking resolutions were crap Japanese ports.
The only issue with 4K on older games is the UI scaling, other than that any game can run 4K. 4K support it just basically guarantee the UI will scale correctly and have no bugs.
That’s OK, we PC users can enjoy old games at 4K then, enjoy old games, something PS4/XB1 can’t do without paying for a subscription service on top of a standard subscription service LOL
The resolution of the textures is the same. It looks sharper because it’s 4K.
But what is really noticeable here (two screenshots in the middle) is that the PC version has parallax mapping (or tesselation?).
Neither most likely. Looks like bump + spec to me.
Then there would be no reason to remove it from consoles, since they have enough memory, and it wouldn’t had that self-shadowing inside the crack, depending on the position of the light source.
Although I think they should have took the console screenshot in the same time of day.
pc had more memory and,stronger cpu and gpu to pull it out,while ps4 had fixed specs,mobile cpu,mid range gpu compare to pc..still depends on everyone pc specs…i hope the one talk big atleast own stronger specs than ps4
I’ve got to hand it to Rockstar they’ve played this too perfection. The have squeezed almost every last drop from their fans. If they released GTA now on all platforms old and new everyone would have stuck to their platform of choice. But by releasing it in stages ps3/360, then ps4/one with better visuals and FPS mode, then PC with better visuals on top of the better visuals 60fps+ gamers are enticed to spend more money with each stage. Genius!
i think the fact they releasing the game when the fiscal year ends so they can start the new year with profits and show it to the stockholders so they can support pc further is even more genius.
Brilliantly played Rockstar! When you follow the money the big picture becomes a lil clearer with every discovery
So much for next gen grass.
Buy bully.
They can get our money when they release the game simultaneously on consoles and pc.Treat pc gamers like sh*t and you shall receive sh*t boycott c**kstar*
On the freeway shots, the “PC” one actually looks like the one with the lower draw distance. I wonder if DSOG got those two screenshots switched? The other PC shots looked crisp and clear.
What? The PC pic is the one on the left, it’s from the 4K album they released when the delay was announced.
the pc pic is on the right…
It’s not you moron.

No, it’s the one on the left. You can CLEARLY see the sharper textures. For some reason, it’s the only one that way around.

Better be a flawless f-ing PC Port.
This looks great! Day one pirate for me. F’ you, Rockstar.
Woah, didn’t see that coming.
If R* dont give an f *about me as a PC gamer, why should i give a f* about them?
Then it will be endless cycle of Rockstar blaming bad PC sales, and PC gamers blaming Rockstar for not releasing the PC version on time or near with the Console release.
Keep in mind that the PC screens are native 4K footage, at 1080 while it will defiitely look better it won’t be such a huge difference.
GLORIOUS PC MASTER RACE
STEAM dayONE!
Lol oh no, someone has a different opinion to you and what games they prefer. Haha you’re such a pleb.
