While Microsoft Windows uses DirectX 11 and DirectX 12, the community term "DirectX 30" (often associated with high-end presets like SA_DirectX 3.0 by modder XMPhan) is a stylistic moniker. It signifies a generational leap in graphics. It implements modern shader models, physics-based rendering techniques, and heavy compute shaders into the legacy GTA framework.

ENB presets can significantly affect performance. A typical ENB configuration may cause a 30–50% frame rate reduction on older hardware. This is because ENB operates as a post-processing layer, applying complex shader calculations to every frame after the game has already rendered it. | Component | Purpose | Real API |

Turn OFF (the ENB has its own internal anti-aliasing; keeping the game's native AA on will cause massive graphical glitching).
