Digital vs Physical

[GameTitan88]

Is it just me, or does it seem like physical copies of the game get greater draw distance when it comes to things such as sniping? I've had many instances where I scoped in on exactly where the guy is, only to see a muzzle flash with nobody behind it, and me falling dead.

Simple really, of course the physical version has better draw distance and rendering. The way the game was programmed it actually runs better when it is loading the resources from 2 different locations (the disc and the hard drive)

With the digital version the game is forced to load all the data from only one source (the hard drive) which causes it to do twice the work. That is why rockstar advises against installing both discs from the xbox 360 version.

In the end the physical copy is a better way to go for both platforms.

Yes, Rockstar opted to not release this info til after I bought the game. At points, it seems like I can snipe people half as far. My draw distance is literally like a block, if I'm lucky.
