GTA Online is Rockstar Games's continuously updated open-world multiplayer mode set in the Grand Theft Auto V universe. Players create their own character to pull off heists across Los Santos and Blaine County, run businesses (motorcycle clubs, CEO offices, recording studios, and more), collect vehicles and weapons, and both cooperate and compete with other players. Major updates released over the years (Cayo Perico Heist, The Contract, Los Santos Drug Wars, and others) have added new maps, vehicles, and mission chains, keeping the game active and lucrative more than a decade after GTA V's original release.

In large open-world and story-driven games, the biggest gains usually come from lowering draw distance, volumetric effects, shadows and ray tracing, while keeping texture quality as high as your VRAM allows. GTA Online recommends 8 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
