"Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced Edition" is an enhanced version of GTA5, with shocking visual effects, faster loading speed, 3D sound effects and more content, but the current praise rate is only 52%, and the main controversy is focused on optimization issues (such as ray tracing performance loss) and insufficient sincerity of content. The text will explain the difference between the enhanced version of GTA5, so that everyone can choose whether to upgrade. After all, the upgraded configuration will be relatively high. If it is a low-end device, it still needs to run the "ordinary version".
Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced Edition and Normal Edition
Note: In order to facilitate the distinction between the enhanced version and the old version, R Star changed the name of the old version to the GTA inheritance version. The ordinary version of GTA is the inheritance version of GTA just changed its name.
1. First of all, there are three upgrades in terms of technical characteristics and image quality improvement:
1. Ray tracing support
Enhanced version: Added ray tracing global lighting, shadows and reflection effects to significantly enhance the realism of the scene (such as the night light effects and water surface reflections in Los Santo).
Inheritance version: Only supports traditional rasterized rendering, and the picture details and dynamic light and shadow performance are weak.
2. Super resolution technology
Enhanced version: Supports NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3 to increase frame rate and reduce graphics card load at high resolution.
Inheritance version: Only basic anti-aliasing technologies (such as MSAA).
3. Loading speed optimization
Enhanced version: Use SSD and DirectStorage technology to realize second-level loading, greatly reducing the waiting time for scene switching.
Inheritance version: Rely on traditional hard disk loading, slower speed.
Second, let's take a look at the new functions and exclusive contents of this time
1. Based on the previous regular version, the enhanced version has added next-generation console porting content, including PS5/Xbox Series X|S exclusive functions, such as 5 new vehicles from Ahao Special Workshop (such as Cyclone Hurricane 2, Pegassi Armed Ignas) and performance modification system.
2. In terms of gameplay extension,
The enhanced version adds "Escape Wildlife" side missions, daily photography challenges, and career builder (provides 4 million game coins start-up capital).
The inherited version only retains the original tasks and basic online mode.
3. Member Service and Sound Effect Upgrade
Enhanced version: Supports GTA+ membership subscriptions and provides Dolby Atmos enhanced sound effects, DualSense controller adaptive trigger feedback. Paying 58 yuan a month can get 100 parking spaces + limited painting + double income. Who can't be moved? The old player called "grab money!"
Inheritance version: No membership service, sound effects and controller support are also the previous basic version.
III. Configuration requirements and compatibility
1. Hardware threshold
Enhanced version: The minimum GTX 1630/RX 6400 graphics card is required, RTX 3060/RX 6600XT is recommended, and 105GB SSD space is required. Mechanical hard drive players exited with tears.
Inheritance version: The configuration requirements are low (such as GTX 660 graphics card + mechanical hard drive to run).
2. Version coexistence mechanism
Enhanced version: It exists independently from the inheritance version. Players can switch to play freely, but the archive needs to be manually migrated (only one-time operation).
Inheritance version: The original game is automatically renamed and can still be run separately.
4. From the perspective of price and player evaluation,
Enhanced version: Steam's domestic initial price is 71.25 yuan (50% off for limited time), including bundle options (such as Shark Cash Card).
Inheritance version: It has been removed from the shelves and can only be obtained through the enhanced version for free upgrade.
In player feedback, the favorable review rate of the enhanced Steam is only 51%, and the controversy focuses on optimization issues (such as ray tracing performance loss) and insufficient sincerity of content.
Inheritance version: maintains a stable reputation for a long time, suitable for low-end players to have nostalgia.
In short, the detailed guide to explaining the differences between GTA5 enhanced version and inherited version has been introduced to you clearly. I believe that after reading the above content, you should now know how to choose. Players who pursue next-generation picture quality, new vehicles and gameplay expansion, and whose hardware meets the standards are more recommended. Players who have low device configuration or only need basic experience can continue to use the original version.
