Many gamers wanted to know which are the best steam launch options for GTA V. Well noobs2pro is here to help you with the latest and most advanced steam launch options for GTA V and GTA V online. I recommend adjusting the settings as per your need to get the best performance for your system. So without further ado here are the steam launch options for GTA V:

How to set GTA V Launch Options:

1. Right-click on the game title (Grand theft auto V) under the Library in Steam and select the Properties option.
2. Under the General tab click on the Set launch options button.
3. You will need to enter the launch options you wish to apply. (List of launch options is given below)Once done you can click OK to apply the settings.
4. Restart the system and launch the game for better performance and gameplay.

 

My recommended steam launch settings for low-end systems are as follows:

-anisotropicQualityLevel 0 -fxaa 0 -grassQuality 0 -lodScale 0.0 -multiSample 1 -noInGameDOF -noquattransform -shadowSoftness linear -particleQuality 0 -pedLodBias 0 -postFX 0 -reflectionQuality 0 -SSAO 0 -shadowQuality 0 -tessellation 0 -textureQuality 1 -vehicleLodBias 0 -waterQuality 0

For everyone else, I recommend using custom settings. I will explain each of the settings below. Make sure to adjust according to your requirements. The steam launch options allow us to go below normal settings in GTA V. You can only select normal when you lower your GTA V graphics settings.  But with steam launch options you can go even lower in terms of graphics quality. So let’s begin.

If you want to improve GTA V and GTA Online performance even further than you can change the process priority for GTA V using the task manager. Set GTA V’s priority to “High.” so that more resources are allocated to GTA V. You should also set the Rockstar Social Club overlay and GTALauncher priority to “Low”.

If you want this to happen automatically then use the following method.

Step 1:Create a text file.

Step 2: Copy the below code

start steam://rungameid/271590
timeout 60
wmic process where name="GTA5.exe" CALL setpriority "high priority"
wmic process where name="gtavlauncher.exe" CALL setpriority "idle"
wmic process where name="subprocess.exe" CALL setpriority "idle"

Step 3: Save the file with a .bat extension. Now Run this file to launch GTA V instead of the regular shortcut icon. This mini script will automatically set the process priority as high for GTA V.

That’s all folks these were some tricks to speed up GTA V performance. If you know more ways to boost GTA V settings then let me know in the comment section below. Happy Gaming.

See you in-game.
