PRESS RELEASE

AMD is proud to welcome Grand Theft Auto V from Rockstar Games as the newest addition to the Gaming Evolved family. We’ve been working closely with our friends in Toronto, Canada and Leeds in the UK, and as part of that collaboration the game features AMD’s Contact Hardening Shadows (CHS).

This technique dynamically hardens or softens a shadow’s edges depending on the distance of the shadow from the light source and object casting that shadow. This means softer shadows that diffuse more realistically. To enable CHS in the game, simply select AMD CHS from the ’Soft Shadows’ drop down menu.

The game also has a built-in benchmark, which should make it easy to test different hardware configurations.

We know everyone’s been eagerly awaiting the launch of this game on PC, and so have we – our latest AMD Catalyst™ driver is locked and loaded, ready for download to enable the best possible experience for AMD Radeon™ users playing GTA V on their PC.

We hope you have a ton of fun with it!
