GTA V Anomalies

[Brehohn]

Alright so to make things quick, pc specs are i7 7700K and GTX 1080 STRIX OC version. I run my GPU, while gaming, at 120% power to get as much juice as possible since this card has an advertised 1920mhz OC but won't reach it unless the power figure is turned up and because it has 3 fans so it stays pretty cool.

 

Anyways, what I'm noticing is that when I have v-sync on, my gameplay is typically locked to 75fps (75hz panel.... IT'S TEMPORARY GET OFF ME :P). I've noticed that just driving around in town that my fps will just drop to 60 or even sometimes below that. But when v-sync is turned off, it never goes below 69 (;P) fps from my last mission that goes from the docks to the inner city. So basically a demanding run. My turbo boost is the only that is "overclocked" on my i7. All stock specs since I'm on tower air for now.

 

So, why is it when v-sync is off, that I get more fps? But when it's on, it can drop pretty damn harsh. This having single monitor performance and maximum performance preferred in the Nvidia Control Panel. Is this what a g-sync panel can fix I assume? I plan on getting one down the road.

1080p, 75hz

[Brehohn]

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I can easily reach 120fps sometimes in town too.

I could be wrong, but I get those frames on my Alienware.  It's been a while since I played, but I got around 120 FPS in the country and around 90 in the city. It never dropped below 73 for me.

Are all of your drivers up to date?

[Brehohn]

Yep. All are up to date. Nvidia Experience would pop up telling me that. Funny you mention that. I had an Acer Predator laptop previously with a 6700HQ and GTX 980 and ran Ultra like a damn champ. Never going below 60fps. Wtf is up with that?
