Highly demanding game requiring powerful system specs. - NFS HEAT
This setup is quite common with CPU and GPU combinations. You're seeing solid performance in games like Rainbow Six Siege, Minecraft, and GTA 5 at high resolutions, but you're struggling with 60+ FPS on 1440p in GTA 5. The tutorial link suggests using NFS Heat with a user.cfg attachment to boost speed, yet improvements haven't materialized. You've already tried reinstalling the game and adding files—keep experimenting until you find the right balance.
Given that your system is working as expected with all other games, it seems to be some kind of bug with the NFS:Heat game.
I believe the problem might lie with the CPU. Even though you meet the requirements, they aren't always accurate. Keep an eye on GPU and CPU usage across all cores using Afterburner overlay. If any core reaches 90% or higher, it could suggest insufficient CPU performance. Usually, low frame rates at any setting point to a CPU bottleneck—otherwise lower settings would usually improve FPS.
