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 every setting but leave MSAA disabled.

As you can see, the frame rates are very good at both 1080p and 1440p. The GTX 1070 does struggle at 4K, though, with the minimum frame rate dropping to 18.6.
