EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified ACX 2.0+ Review

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game played from either a first-person or third-person view. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story.

Outside of missions, players can freely roam the open world. Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world of Grand Theft Auto V is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series.

The world may be fully explored from the beginning of the game without restrictions, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content. (Wikipedia).

We set all of GTA V's settings to their highest levels for both resolutions but made sure to disable the performance-crippling MSAA settings. We saw the game use almost 4GB of VRAM at 2560×1440 and around 4.5GB at 4K (where possible with the relevant video cards). The built-in benchmark is used to gather performance data.

Performance data from the AMD R9 295X2 unfortunately could not make it into the charts as the card has a display bug with our AOC test monitor that prevents GTA V's benchmark from operating.

The unfortunate bug affecting our R9 295X2 testing means that EVGA's GTX 980 Ti takes a first-place finish in GTA V. The factory-overclocked card leads a reference GTX 980 Ti by 12% at both resolutions.
