For those not well aware of ray tracing, let’s get a little technical to understand it. Ray tracing is a technology used to make the game more realistic by emulating the reflection and refraction of light similarly to in a real-world environment.

GTA V players would enjoy great details and contrast on vehicles, characters, and on any kind of reflective or glossy surface. Undoubtedly, these features would make the game more appealing and realistic. But it will only work with the game’s Fidelity Mode.

However, this patch would add a limitation for players on PC. They won’t be able to enjoy this game with all setups, as it will require PC setups with strong processors and GPUs that support ray-tracing technology. Additionally, fans wouldn’t be able to enjoy the gameplay with this patch at more than 30 FPS, as it only works with Fidelity Mode.

What do the fans have to say about the new Patch 1.64?

The Grand Theft Auto community isn’t much impressed by the new patch. As most fans believe there would be no fun to enjoy the realistic visuals from this new Patch 1.64 if the framerates are capped at 30 FPS. Another fan asked Rockstar Games to stop developing this nine-year-old game any further. Possibly, that fan just wants to hear them announce the next title now.
