fps drops when driving
I get 60fps when I'm on foot but as soon as I get into a car it drops to 50 or even below.

No mater the settings, you cant have stable 55/60 fps, even with high end PC.
So the only reason for locking it to 30 fps in the first place, is terrible optimization.
Patch / Fps limit removal did nothing...

No more preorders people...

Having a stable 60fps here on a gtx 1080 on max settings...

And the patch did what it needed to do, run the physics on higher frames rates and client sided to have 60fps or more. How you come up with ''did nothing'' is beyond me.

And non of this answers OP question. Which is to check the settings, maybe lightning or shadows give a worse performance.

Then you should able to run it at 60 stable. Got the latest Nvidia driver? Nothing run in the background that could interfere. Make a new save file or check intregity. Check if the nvidia panel settings forces some settings.

Good luck with it.

I also have a GTX 1080 but when driving I get low fps, it drops to 30...
I disabled vsync both ingame and nvidia control panel, any suggestions?

Try turning down volumetric effects and ambient occulsion

i5 is not enough for stable 60 fps in this game.

A g-sync monitor can smooth out those dips, apparently.

I don't have one yet so I can't confirm it but I hear good things.

I turned down volumetric and ambient occlusion, no difference...
Plus, when driving inside cities and places with many buildings it also drops to 30 and below... I don't think this should happen with a GTX 1080.
Btw I have an i7 4790k @4.0GHz and 8GB Ram.

What are your settings? ingame and nvidia control panel?
For some reason, if I try driving in those same areas I'll drop right to 30

in game they are max, it's shown in the vid at the start and the end.

nvidia cpanel just max performance forced instead of optimal.

Did you also optimize it with GeForce Experience?
