I’m confused about my performance. Warzone runs smoothly at 90 fps on ultra settings, but other games seem to struggle.
GTA 5 on max settings is more demanding than people realize. You probably maxed out the advanced graphic settings too. Even an RTX 3070 desktop would struggle to hit 60 fps at 1440p on those settings.

This is probably the right explanation. I remember getting around 90 fps on ultra with my old 3050 equivalent.
Try turning off anti-aliasing.

What’s anti-aliasing?
In GTA 5, it’s called MSAA. For instance, if you set it to 8x at 1080p, it effectively renders the game in 4K for certain elements like foliage and jagged lines, which can drop your fps significantly.
Benchmark videos of GTA 5 are usually categorized as (1080p ultra, 1080p ultra MSAA 2x, 1080p ultra MSAA 4x, etc.) because of the huge difference in performance caused by this single setting.
So, to sum it up, turn MSAA off.
Here’s an example of what I mean: https://youtu.be/kg2NwRgBqFo?feature=shared

It makes pixels look blurry to smooth out lines.

It prevents games from looking pixelated like they did in the 90s.

This is accurate.
Set MSAA to x2 and you should be fine. Setting it to x8 is just excessive.

It’s an anti-aliasing setting in GTA.

What’s MSAA?
Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing. It’s a simpler way of performing supersampling, but it only applies to geometry. Supersampling means rendering at a higher resolution than your game’s actual resolution.

Thanks! By the way, how much does your gaming device cost and what fps do you get in Valorant if you’ve tried it?

It cost around €2500 new, and I get 1000 fps on 4K max settings in Valorant.

I don’t remember the cost, and I’ve never played Valorant.

Honestly, at 1080p, it doesn’t matter what you use; anti-aliasing still looks bad.

GTA can run well on low-end systems and still look decent. Not sure what settings you messed up, lol.
Never judge a AAA title based on how an esports game runs.
Yeah, I’m experiencing similar issues. I have an R7 7735HS and an RX 7700S, and I should be able to get around 100 fps on my settings (a mix of normal and high with advanced settings off). But I’m stuck around 50 fps, and my GPU never reaches its boost clock speed, even though I run other games at max settings at 1080p without any problems.
