Best PC Settings for Performance & Visuals
Squeeze maximum frames without gutting the neon-soaked visuals. A balanced settings preset for mid-range and high-end rigs.
Vice City's lighting is the star of the show, so our presets protect the visual identity while clawing back frames where you won't notice the difference.
Final numbers depend on the shipped build, but these are the settings that historically give the biggest FPS-per-quality return.
The biggest FPS wins
Volumetric fog and reflection quality are usually the heaviest settings — drop these to High before anything else.
Keep texture quality high (it's mostly VRAM, not GPU compute) so the city still looks sharp.
Upscaling (DLSS/FSR) set to Quality mode is almost always free performance.
