Questions about the graphical settings in GTA V for PC?

[Aikor]

Now there are certainly some settings which i rly dont understand what it does if anyone could explain then it could be great so that others can know too

 

Here is the list

 

1. Shader Quality

2. Post FX

3. Anisotropic filtering(i tried this one in Project CARS but i rly didnt find a difference when changing the settings :S)

4. Ambient occulsion

5. Long shadows???(dafuq is tht)

 

EDIT: Really sorry i just found there is another thread..il ask this there..u can lock this

actually shader quality, post FC and long shadows are not your typical settings options so most articles cant answer what these are and me - i dont know either.

i can assume post FX quality is the quality of the filters or motion blur or something that is layed on top of the game.

but what does shader quality and long shadows mean?
