CAPS.DAT is a binary file in the ..\data directory of GTA III and Vice City. This file does not appear upon installation. It is generated along with txd.dir and txd.img once you run the game for the first time and may or may not appear depending on your video card. It contains only four dword entries but their meanings are unknown. Based on how the file is generated, it may be related to textures.

Rockstar Support mentions deleting the file to improve performance if your video card was changed. Deleting the file for either games will force the game to reconvert textures to "optimal format" for your video card and regenerate the file.
