The game is out on PC, and it looks gorgeous

Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto V is finally out on PC, and pretty much everyone is playing it right now.

Despite having some issues at launch, and being available on consoles since the fall of 2013, the action adventure video game is now hanging out steadily at the top of Steam's best-selling titles list.

One of the reasons for the game's popularity is the fact that the much higher horse power found under the hood of most hardcore gamers' rigs are able to render the game in high definition and make it look truly stunning.

In case you're not one of those who can crank the quality bar all the way to ultra without skipping a beat and you're wondering what you're missing out on, a user put together a neat comparison video showing various graphical features at normal, high, very high and ultra settings.

The side-by-side comparisons, done in real time, deliver a pretty convincing argument on why you should save up for that new graphics card.

The video covers pretty much everything, from shadows, post-processing effects, depth of field and general quality to reflections, distance scaling and vegetation density.
