The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super Review, Feat. EVGA SC Ultra: Recalibrating The Mainstream Market
by Ryan Smith on October 29, 2019 9:00 AM ESTGrand 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.

An OG GTX 1070 is conspicuously absent there... moving on...While I have a 1070, I heard about people having mounting problems even on top-tier 2080ti with GTA and newer cpus, or a combination of factors. Stutters, low FPS, an whole slew of things.
I wonder how much of these are related to newer AMD Ryzen 3 cpus, motherboards, etc...
Have you run into those issues? Did you update the game with the new launcher? Or are the updates locked, in order to get an apples-to-apples comparison, so you don't have to retest everything?
