Capped at 60 FPS

[ChrisAndy]

Hi,

 

I just got GTA V for PC and am stuck at 50-60 FPS in both benchmarks and in game, on a 1440p 144HZ monitors. Other games run well over 60 fps.

 

My rig:

 

GTX 2080

Intel i7 4790K

24GB RAM

 

What I've tried:

 

Completely reinstalling game from scratch

Turning off V Sync 

Setting priority to High in Task Manager

Lowering resolution / other settings 

 

Is there something obvious I am missing? Any guidance is much appreciated.

I assume you have set your monitor to actually run at 144Hz in Windows display settings? Some 144hz monitors run at 60Hz by default.

What clock speeds are your CPU and Ram running at? Is the Ram actually running in dual channel mode, not single?

 

Try a benchmark with these settings, and monitor GPU and CPU usage if you can

Graphics:

• resolution 2560x1440
• MSAA x2, TXAA On and FXAA Off, or MSAA Off and FXAA On
• Reflection MSAA: Off
• Grass Quality: no more than High
• Depth Of Field: Off
• Motion Blur: Off
• Anything else: Very High/Ultra

Advanced Graphics:

• Long Shadows: on (small impact)
• High resolution shadows: off (big impact)
• High Detail Streaming In Flight: on (small impact)
• Extended Distance Scaling: Off (very big impact, see what happens if you change only this one)
• Extended Shadow Distance: Off
• Frame Scaling: Off

Thanks, just ran those changes. Just want to confirm resolution should be 2560x1440p. Results below: 

CPU usage: ~35% 

GPU usage: ~8%

Yes, I meant 2560x1440, but I'm a bit confused as to the exact settings you used in that benchmark.

35% CPU usage sounds about right, but only 8% GPU? I only get my GPU that low on lowest possible settings.

With the settings I listed above, your GPU should be loaded more than your CPU.

And were you getting over 60 FPS in this benchmark?

I was getting about 50 fps. 

Edit: 

After reinstalling Nvidia drivers again and resetting Windows, now getting ~18% GPU usage but same FPS (hovers between 50-60).

There's something wrong here, because on 1080p with a 1080 Ti I'm getting 35-45% GPU usage and considering that 2080 is basically a 1080 Ti, your numbers are way off. Check your RAM frequency too, V is RAM dependant and there's a 10-20 fps difference between 1600 and 2133 MHz. But GPU utilization on 1440p is absolutely off. My other system is 4790k @ 4.5 GHz and with FPS uncapped I won't go over 110 fps, but 60 is definitely not enough.
