The Lighting Quality setting does have a visual impact, Very High enables Headlight Shadows, while Ultra makes them more diffused.
I think Very High is the best option now and big thanks to @nicholasdavidson1191 and @colegadohiphoptuga for the info.

I was waiting for this video. I visited your channel every day for it😅

[sleeptilloneontwt]

i dont play games anymore for the last couple of years but i still regularly watch your every videos. one of the most underrated channels in the gaming scene. keep it up man.

[JohnSmith-XYZ]

Having DLSS anti-aliasing in GTA 5 alone is worth the enhancement. Finally, GTA 5 is free of aliasing!

[RicochetForce]

That was an absolutely magnificent optimization guide. Went through every detail, every use case, gave practical examples of what the benefits and drawbacks are. Textbook stuff right here.

[NostalgicMemries]

dude is living up to his name, absolute king of benchmarks, had issues with this enhanced version, drops in some populated or vegetation full zones, after this optimization its buttery smoove 60 fps on my rx 6800 at 4k love it

[FuzzyBlueLights]

In future, there will be "Benchmarking" setting in games along with Medium, High, Ultra etc.
Keep up the great work, man.

[RandomIrishGuy]

Thanks man, always wait for your videos before getting into latest releases because I'm too lazy to look at settings myself

[YoshymitsuLP]

The ammount of quality you put into each of these videos is really astonishing!
Thank you!

[mauromerconchini]

We appreciate your thoroughness man. Keep up the great work.

[Mr_Wolfyz]

I've always loved doing a graphic comparison myself comparing visual changes and performance changes, looking for the best value graphic to performance
And I've been doing it on gta 5 enhanced
But watching this video makes it easier for me to tweak my graphic just a bit more for slightly better performance
So glad that I found this video, some small tweaks on graphic helps but what helps the most is you mentioning that override dll inside nvidia inspector
Not only it looks way better it also runs better by using Quality preset
Thanks a lot! Appreciated it

8:37 This was a great tip i'm using it right now and it's much better than swapping dlss version this one is much cleaner with dlaa thanks man

[vitorf]

Best benchmark channel for optimized settings on YouTube fr

[yassineatfi]

i was waiting your video thank you brother big love from Morocco

[DemetriusZhomir]

When I opened this video, I knew my game settings were about to get opchimized. Tank you, and pwease keep doin a good job 😁

[kevki]

[yavuzhannnn]

YESSS FINALLY OH MY GOD ILYSM I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONG

[kareemahmed]

No way, no way, no way! This coincidence is insane! I had just installed the game and was tweaking the graphics settings, so I checked your channel for a video about it but couldn’t find one. Then, an hour later, I randomly searched again and found that you had just uploaded it! 😂😂

[JorritFX]

This is exactly the video I was waiting for since the enhanced version came out, thank you so much bro!

[Peoplesuuck]

Thank you for continuing to make optimisation guides! I know it is a lot of work but your work is uncontested! A large cut above the rest!
