Maybe a fix. You can try to fix something in the code

I run Ubuntu 20.04. Disabling v-sync unlocks framerate.

Your monitors REFRESH RATE rate is 144 and if you want your graphic card/OS to push more frames to your monitor then you have to unlock your FRAMERATE beyond 60.

I am sorry I can not help you any more.
I solved running issues (especially on old games) by switching my OS to Ubuntu/Linux and because VALVE supports it heavily they have build PROTON tool which allows running Window only games on Linux.

Your game library is already almost Linux (and Proton) supported so one solution is to switch OS.

Hopefully you can fix your gameplay issue.

well thanks anyways, i do dual boot might give it a shot, dunno most of my productivity and games are on windows so switching for gtavc would be kinda funny

Switch to windows or use legacy audio drivers.

Running the game above 60 ruins the physics and makes the game unplayable in some parts. When I unlocked the frame rate cars are hard to use and reversing wont work.

limiter on. GTAVC was made for 30FPS.

This asi plugin will run your game in borderless windowed mode with max refresh rate
I had this issue myself with 144hz monitor and spent a lot of time figuring out
