'''CAPS.DAT''' is a binary cache file in the <code>\data\</code> directory of [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. It stores information about the capabilities of the user video card. This file does not appear upon installation. It is generated along with <code>txd.dir</code> and <code>txd.img</code> once you run the game for the first time. The file is regenerated alongside the texture cache if the video card capabilities change between game runs.
