Authors: Pontus Andersson, et al. (2020, Chalmers University of Technology)
Why it’s interesting: QuantV boosts GTA V’s visuals (e.g., ray tracing-like effects, reflections). This paper explores how rendering latency affects perceived quality in games—critical for high-end mods that push frame times. It includes real-time perceptual studies, not just theory.

QuantV 3.0 represents a massive leap forward. Key features include:
