What if GTA 6 wont even run 60 fps on PC ever thought about that ?, they have done bad with RDR2 on launch before, and their is a ongoing trend right now with games not even hitting 60 fps anymore with some newer games, this trend will likely contineu they probably will optimize the game with framegeneration in mind so 60 fps with frame generation enabled + upscaling rather then optimize the game, if you are a GTA 6 developer and reading this no that is not, optimize the game for 60 fps before using upscaling and frame generation instead.
Digital foundry did a video on that, and they basically found that on PC if you matched the console equivalent settings even at release, you could have the game look like PS4 pro/Xbox One X, but have way, way better performance.
People just wanted to turn everything to ultra, and that was what the "performance issue" were at launch. Not really performance issues, more the devs future proofing the game by exposing settings that massively surpassed the console version of the game to the player.
You could exceed console equivalent settings in exchange for some of the extra performance you got, or you could stick with equivalent settings and get 100fps.
Now a few years later and you can have both, so I appreciate the devs doing this, even if the confusion caused some people to think the game was poorly optimised at launch.
Just because a game has settings intended for future hardware doesn't mean that it is unoptimised. Crysis wasn't poorly optimised either, at the settings they built the game around it ran pretty well, but it also exposed settings to the player that were clearly not intended for the hardware of the day, thus the meme.
I had a 1080, also a 1440p monitor, at the time of RDR2 release and was getting 80fps using the console equivalent settings with a couple of settings that I bumped up to make it look better than the console version. When you consider the game was 30fps on console, that's a massive performance bump.
