FPS Issues with GTA V

[NotTristan]

So I am running a pretty high end system (No I did not buy this system for gaming but hey it's fun) I am running a 5960x that is overclocked to 4.5ghz and a 1070 overclocked to 2050 mhz, and 32 gb of ram. but in GTA V I get an average of only ~40 fps!!! I have tried resetting my graphics settings to default and even turning them all the way down to low. I just don't understand. anybody else get something like this? I know that with 8 cores that was going to actually limit my gaming performance rather than faster fewer cores, but I have it at 4.5ghz which is faster than most peoples 6700 or 7700k's and I know that doesn't make it better but still, I didn't expect this much of a dip in performance.

update your drivers, it seems like you are having a driver issue. reinstall windows if all else fail.

nah a 5960x is haswell so at 4.5ghz it should be well over 60fps in GTA V, especially with a 1070 alongside it. DDU and reinstall drivers

So updated all of my drivers for about everything I could think of and now I'm about 50-60fps but with somebody with a 144hz monitor at 1080p specifically for gaming it leaves a little bit to be desired.

Grass quality and MSAA are known to be broken in GTA. That includes reflection MSAA, too.
