Great success!!!!!!
I run at x4 MSAA and have grass on normal. I prefer less jaggies than grass. post FX is also normal. With these I get 60fps and looks fantastic..
That will be why, start a heist, not snowing, mid heist, snowing. Was a little odd
Yeah it is snowing, I spent at least 2 hours drifting by myself... yeah.. I was bored hahah
After that I went to a session and started killing people... at one point 5 guys were hunting me (4 of them were a vip organization because I ruined their job) and they didn't kill me once hahaha I drove to my apartment and they were outside in 1 tank, 1 buzzard, 1 insurgent and 1 car waiting for me.
I got out with my insurgent, drove away, the buzzard followed me, got into a car park, went out of radar, drove away again, got my hydra and killed them

Saw the snow today, was great fun. Made the heist i did hard work though, i was using a motor bike so another guy thought it would be a good idea for him to use one, then he died 4 times in a row cause he apparently cant ride a bike on snow 
Ah cool.
I have everything up full inc postfx and grass but have msaa off completely.
I do however have sweetfx injecting smaa which takes care of most of the jaggies for me with minimal performance hit
SweetFX-injected SMAA is worse than the in-game FXAA.Ah cool.

Tbh I set these settings and sweetfx when I got the game and haven't really changed anything aside from resolution and grass when I upgraded.
So I haven't spent time messing with different configurations, might have a shot at changing some stuff over the weekend.
It's not dramatically different or anything. I doubt you'll see much difference unless you look closely. But the in-game FXAA does have *slightly* better jaggy coverage than that SMAA and its 'blur' is almost unnoticeable. It's a good FXAA implementation(by FXAA standards).Tbh I set these settings and sweetfx when I got the game and haven't really changed anything aside from resolution and grass when I upgraded.

It's just unfortunate that both SMAA and FXAA are fairly insufficient on their own if you want *good* AA. And more than just jaggies, the aliasing issues in GTA V create tons of shimmering(especially in the distance) and dithering. MSAA helps a fair bit in this regard, but it's also hugely costly and still doesn't fix all the issues on its own, even with x4.
Downsampling from a very high resolution(4k or so) is really the only truly effective AA method for this game. It could have really used some sort of custom temporal SMAA implementation like we're seeing with other games lately. There's no 'ideal' way to battle all the aliasing problems right now.
Nothing seems to get rid of jaggies in this game properly except downsampling from a very high res.
I downsample from 3325x1871 to 1080p with FXAA and it's pretty much jaggy free. Even power lines in the very far distance look perfect.

haha!! It really does look like modders have been after you.
ooooo amazing!!! I might look into that. Wouldn't be a major change for me though as I use C35799Gamble everywhere for gaming
What kind of performance do you get with that?
I downsample from 4k with FXAA for my screenshots and with a few settings turned down(and all advanced graphics options off), I can get a 'playable' 30fps with my GTX970.
The game looks MILES better downsampled and clean of most all aliasing. But I cant give up 60fps, so I use a very mild downsample of 1183p for normal gameplay(which hardly does anything, but eh).
