Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game played from either a first-person or third-person view. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story. Outside of missions, players may freely roam the open world. Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series. It may be fully explored after the game’s beginning without restriction, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content.

We test with every setting maximised, although MSAA is disabled.

1080p

4K

As with Shadow of Mordor, framerates are still not perfect, even at 1080p. That said, most graphics cards struggle with GTA V and its Very High and Ultra graphical settings. Cranking down the image quality will noticeably improve framerates at 1080P.

I think the 4K framerates are also conclusive proof the BRIX Gaming UHD is certainly not up to the task of 4K gaming for demanding games with high image quality settings.
