I have been talking with Rockstar support for quite some time trying to stop my Textures from flickering, When the benchmark test was loading I asked for fun what settings the Console version has compared to the PC.

I thought I shared the answer with you guys if you are wondering also.

alot of pc could be better than consoles, you just need the cash for them. like i can run GTA IV on max settings everywhere.

Rockstar stated long ago the Medium settings on PC are better than the console version of GTA IV, and that (at the time) the high settings were reserved for PC hardware that didn't exist yet. What it really translated to though was "We're overall terrible programmers and put minimal effort into porting this to PC".

That's nice to know, thanks for sharing that,im going to save that in notepad for the future just incase someone was ever wondering about the setting on the xbox.

Thanks for the Information. Always wanted to know that. I actually thought that you play on Full Graphics :X

But now I know why it doesn't look that good sometimes..

If consoles could play GTA IV on full then they would cost more than they do now.

Good find, I've been wondering about this.

I'll mirror everyones comments. Great find. I always though the console versions were low-medium myself (excluding when it rains, because jesus is that beautiful)
