Best settings for GTX 1080 at 1440p?

[estrogenised girltwink]

I am looking to hopefully get a high framerate while still having great graphics at 1440p.

Just use optimized settings with Geforce Experience?

High framerate differs between people. Some it's 60, others it's 90. And then there is the 144+ group...

Put everything on Very High in the regular Graphics settings + Softest Shadows & 2xMSAA. Leave everything in Advanced Graphics off and at 0%.

That's what I have, and I never drop below 60fps.

would that work on any system?

I'm running 1440p with a 1080 myself. I have all options except msaa and grass as high as possible,(yes even the advanced settings,) shadows on softest. Grass, since it's so unoptimized, I leave on very high. I use 2xMSAA with TXAA on, looks the best. Enabling FXAA as well doesn't do anything as MSAA overrides it.
Oh and use anisotropic filtering through the nvidia control panel, and disable it in-game. Looks a bit better.

Also depends on how good your CPU is, I've got an overclocked 7700k so I have no bottleneck issues.

No, it'd only work for people who have a GTX 1070, GTX 1080, GTX 980ti, and GTX Titan X Maxwell. Obviously for people that have better cards than the ones I just mentioned, as well.


This is assuming you have at least a i5 3570k or newer i5 or better.

Well i use these settings:

1440p @ 165 Hz
2xMSAA, no FXAA, no TXAA

Then everything maxed out except:
Shadows: Softest
Grass: High

I also turned "Motion Blur" and "DoF" off because i dont like these effect.
But they will not impact performance that much.

Advanced Settings Maxed Out aswell (expect Resolution Scale).

In the City i get around 80 - 100fps. Outside the city frames can dip down to 60fps if you are in grass areas. But lets face it: The Grass in GTA 5 is poorly optimized :D

My Setup:
i7 6700k
MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X
16 GB DDR4 RAM
