Grand Theft Auto V

GTAV

Grand Theft Auto V, currently one of the hottest PC games, was finally released for the PC on April 14, 2015. Developed by Rockstar, it is set in 2013 and the city of Los Santos. It utilizes the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) which Rockstar has been using since 2006, with multiple updates for technology improvements.

In Grand Theft Auto V we set the game to run with 8x MSAA with 16x AF and high image quality settings. We used the games built-in benchmark utility t and averaged all the five of the default benchmark runs and omitted the maximum values as those results have major inconsistencies.

Benchmark Results: This game title might be considered ‘old’ by some of our readers, but it is still played by many and was a fun game. The Radeon VII is the first card from AMD to average over 60 FPS with our aggressive settings at 1440P. We saw a 45% performance improvement from the Radeon RX Vega 64 at 1440P with the Radeon VII!
