Grand Theft Auto V

The typical gains observed so far of around 10% over the GTX 1080 can be found for the RTX 2080 in GTA V. Despite this lead, the RTX 2070 manages to lose out to the Vega 64 by 6% at 4K.

Overall, the lack of frame scaling between resolutions points to GTA V being more CPU-bound than GPU-bound in this scenario.
