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: With these image quality setting we see the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti being slightly ahead of the GeForce RTX 2080 by a bit. The minimum frame rate on the new RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti cards at 1080P and 1440P was alarming, but the GTAV built-in benchmark cuts between scenes and actual gameplay felt fine to us.
