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 may freely roam the open world. Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series. It may be fully explored after the game's beginning without restriction, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content.
We maximise all the image quality settings, but leave anti aliasing turned off, as it dramatically impacts performance.
At 1440p the Asus RX 470 Strix Gaming OC struggles to maintain super smooth frame rates – unless the image quality settings were dialled down noticeably. Performance is slightly ahead of the R9 380X, but quite some way behind the R9 390 Nitro 8GB (10 fps).
