(PC) - best setting FPS 1440p?

[PatrickBateman]

Hi,

My system:

Ryzen 5 3600 CPU

16GB DDR4

AMD Radeon RX580 8GB

 

When I play on 1080p everything is fine on very high/high settings. I tried 1440p and my fps gets lower. What are the best settings to play on 1440p without losing much high settings? Which settings could give me a fps boost? Or is the 2K setting not worth it at all?

If you have a 1440p/4k screen, yes, it is worth it. On a 1080p display, don't bother, raise your settings and enable more AA.

(yes, you can play 1440p on a 1080p panel for those wondering, it's called Virtual/Dynamic Super Resolution)

More pixels = more detail shown, and possibly more effective viewing distance. Anti-aliasing in GTA V isn't that great, so aim for the highest resolution you can run at High.

Most settings can be lowered to High (or Very High if it has Ultra setting) without losing much fidelity, and at 1440p, you shouldn't need to use MSAA, only FXAA.

 

This would be my starting point: (this is about same settings as PS4)

FXAA: On

MSAA: Off

VSync: Off

Pause on Focus Loss: Off

population density, variety, distance scaling 100%

Texture Quality: Very High, doesn't affect FPS, only Vram usage.

Shader Quality: Very High, not much FPS gain on High, but on High you lose parrallax occlusion mapping.

Shadow Quality: High

Reflection Quality: Very High

Reflection MSAA: Off. This setting should only be used on Ultra reflections. Lower settings are in lower resolution, no point applying AA to that.

Water Quality: High

Particles Quality: High

Grass Quality: High (on PS4, this is Very High, but that will drop FPS)

Soft Shadows: Softer

PostFX: Very High

Anisotropic Filtering: 16x

Ambient Occlusion: High

Tesselation: High

 

Advanced Graphics:

Extended distance scaling off.

You can use Long Shadows, and HD streaming in Flight, if you wish, shouldn't make much of a difference. FPS is higher when you're flying so you should be able to afford this setting.

 

If you want more FPS, you could lower Reflection Quality to High. Don't use Normal, that is even lower than PS3/Xbox360, which were using High. Normal is for low-end PC and turns off all reflections.

And you could turn down PostFX to High for more FPS gains, you have to decide if the loss of some Post processing effects is worth the FPS gains. Some people turn PostFX down to Normal because they prefer how that looks.
