Grand Theft Auto V
Now a truly venerable title, GTA V is a veteran of past game suites that is still graphically demanding as they come. As an older DX11 title, it provides a glimpse into the graphically intensive games of yesteryear that don't incorporate the latest features. Originally released for consoles in 2013, the PC port came with a slew of graphical enhancements and options. Just as importantly, GTA V includes a rather intensive and informative built-in benchmark, somewhat uncommon in open-world games.
The settings are identical to its previous appearances, which are custom as GTA V does not have presets. To recap, a "Very High" quality is used, where all primary graphics settings turned up to their highest setting, except grass, which is at its own very high setting. Meanwhile 4x MSAA is enabled for direct views and reflections. This setting also involves turning on some of the advanced rendering features - the game's long shadows, high resolution shadows, and high definition flight streaming - but not increasing the view distance any further.

The price is the price. If you want to help clarify the relative prices, it'd be better to use a visual aid.Spunjji - Friday, July 26, 2019 - link
Entirely in favour of rounding, here - I think SuperiorSpecimen has the right idea about how to do it.hosps - Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - link
Any chance in seeing an RTX enabled comparison between the various card levels?Spunjji - Friday, July 26, 2019 - link
I second that request. There's too much talk of the 2060 being the "cheapest RTX card" and not enough about whether it's actually a good experience. It would be helpful to know what the minimum investment is for a decent experience.DanNeely - Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - link
Are the synthetic tests without a 5700 score still due to lingering driver problems, or have you just not had time to try testing again?Ryan Smith - Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - link
By synthetic, I'm assuming you mean compute? If so, the answer is yes. AMD has not dropped a major driver update for Navi since the launch, so nothing has changed.Ferrari_Freak - Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - link
The Division 2 4K 99th percentile results seem to be mislabeled (or there was something wrong in the test). The RX 5700XT and GTX 1080 are showing a higher 99th percentile value than the average.Ryan Smith - Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - link
Whoops. Fixed that in the source data, but it didn't propagate to the graphs. It's fully fixed this time.designgears - Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - link
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-card...That shows MSRP at $1199.00, not $999.00.

That's NVIDIA's factory-overclocked card. $999 is supposed to be the MSRP for reference-clocked cards (but good luck getting one for under $1149 right now).
