GTA 5 Graphics Tweak

If you enjoy playing the GTA 5 game, then the GTA 5 Graphics Tweak application might bring you some exra joy. This particular application is designed to help you change a few settings that are not displayed by the game but are present in its settings.xml file. Designed mainly for Intel graphics, this application makes it possible to apply a few tweaks in order to obtain a smoother gaming experience.

This lightweight application requires no setup and it is ready to go. Upon launch, it searches for the settings.xml file

The one-window interface comprises a slider for each of the tweakable settings. GTA 5 Graphics Tweak can tamper with the default level of the level of detail scale (LodScale), meaning the LOD distance level, the Pedestrians LOD distance bias (PedLodBias), the Vehcle LOD distance bias (VehicleLodBias) and the shadow quality. Please keep in mind that the LodBias values are correlated to the MaxLodScale value.

As for the values you should select, you should know that the lower the number, the less details will be shown in the game so the overall speed will be higher. If you aim for a smoother gaming experience with less lags, then you can opt for less details but if you have a computer that is capable of rendering high-detailed images decently, then you can think about higher values for these parameters.
