Graphics Settings vs PerformancePrepared by MSI Notebook FAE

Version 1.0

June 2015

• The FPS result of Grand Theft Auto V is collected by running the in-game benchmark. We record the FPS only from the fifth benchmark scene since because it’s the most similar scenery in a real game play.

• Due to different hardware configuration (for example, different CPU or memory…), the FPS result may be different on the same graphics.

• The giving chart shows you the FPS under different Graphics settings with different Graphics. Check the Graphics Settings which has FPS 45 or above in order to have a smooth game play experience.
