GTA V

We’re going to wrap things up

with a couple of older games

that aren’t really visual barn-

burners, but still top the Steam

charts day in and day out.

These are games that a lot of

people play. First up: Grand

Theft Auto V ($30 on Humble at

go.pcworld.com/gta5) with all

options turned to Very High, all

Advanced Graphics options

except extended shadows

enabled, and FXAA. GTA V runs

on the RAGE engine and has

received substantial updates

since its initial launch.

Rainbow Six Siege

Let’s take a peek at Rainbow

Six Siege ($40 on Humble at

go.pcworld.com/rnss), a

game whose audience just

keeps on growing, and one

that still feels like the only truly

next-gen shooter (go.pcworld.

com/rain) after all these years.

Like Ghost Recon Wildlands,

this game runs on Ubisoft’s

AnvilNext 2.0 engine, but

Rainbow Six Siege responds

especially well to graphics

cards that lean on async

compute features.
