Extremely blurry textures!

[Lorca]

I'm getting extremely blurry textures like for the trees, wood walls, etc. I know I have an old but not ancient graphics card, a gtx1050 2gb vram but, jeez, does it really have to look like Minecraft? And the thing that surprised me and made me angry, which I've never seen in other games before, is that the texture quality settings is gated. In other words, I can't switch it to medium quality because it says I don't have enough vram. Seriously? It's just a tad over 2000mb and because of that I can't switch it from low to medium. This is just bs. Is there a workaround to force the game to use a certain texture quality?

Yeah, so I heard. Had I known the texture quality was gonna be locked because of insufficient vram, I would have never bought the damn game. This should be stated clearly in the advertisement. I feel like Rockstar misinformed the public with its minimum requirements. This game is truly a mess. I couldn't start in fullscreen; once I jumped some hurdles to get this right, I was confronted with yet another technical issue then another; then the freaking Rockstar Launcher couldn't recognize my account. This game gave my two year old PC a bsod for the first time. I'm going to uninstall this crap until I get a better pc in the future.

The only bright side is that I bought this crap on sale. My Lord, in all of my gaming history, never have I had so many issues with a game.

It literally does not I have my game at high-ultra and the game looks stunning. So either you're trolling or you are not playing on high settings.

It's a resolution problem because of the implemented AA and the fact that the game was made for 4k and is a poor PC port. Basically, the game will look very bad at times (or all the time) at 1080p. You can however enable advanced settings and turn the resolution rendering up to 2/1 so it renders the game at high resolution and downsamples it to 1080p. I did this and it looks spectacular, but of course I took a hit to my framerate which now can get down to 40ish on my RTX 2080 Super on a 2560x1080 monitor.

This have NOTHING to do with your graphics card,

Ground,mud and tree textures are looks like crap for everyone since day one release on PC,
I pre ordered this game and still having same problem.

Best thing we can do is increasing the value in game graphics settings named "Tesselation" or similiar setting close to this name.

Also set the Parallex Ground thing to Ultra too, that gives ground and roof textures a bit more sharpen effect,

I did NOT use that stupid blurry TAA and I still have blurry mess, especially on ground and mud also grass.

EDIT: Parallex in game graphics setting will cause some heat on your GPU.

You can edit the setting xml in documents/rockstar with notepad to get around the gate, but anything less than ultra textures looks like low. You won't be happy with medium but go ahead and try.

You're below graphic card requirement, that's why. You might have better luck with geforce experience because it let's you change graphic slider to whatever you want. It also has optimizations for the puny 2gb frame buffer that the gtx 1050 has. Might wanna start there.

Another option, is to manually edit the system.xml file.

Here's a screenshot from a 4gb gtx 1050 mobile variant in Saint Denis to give you an idea of what your game should look like:

This game likes 4gb vram. It also maxes out a gtx 1050 on low-medium-ish settings at 1920x1080 with 0.8 resolution scale mode.

Good Luck!

You have a budget GPU... Why do you expect to be able to use more vram then your graphics card has? If that is the case it'll be like GTA 4 or 5 where if you're over the vram requirements for your GPU, you'll have issues with loading textures and performance problems.

So stop complaining, if you want the perfect and amazing textures/details upgrade your system. I The game looks amazing with both my GTX 1070's in SLI. And I'm pretty much at the highest settings.
