Yeah, you already mentioned the resolution before, I just overlooked it. My bad. Anything above 60+ FPS is considered as a smooth gameplay experience, so you are already good with those high settings.
However, if you want, you can gain more FPS by disabling some of the graphics settings which you have set too high. Reduce the MSAA quality. MSAA impacts FPS in a critical fashion. It is strongly recommended that you disable MSAA entirely for the best performance.
Next, we have the Post FX quality setting which has the biggest impact on FPS. And lastly the "Grass quality" setting, but you already have it on normal.
In online mode for GTA you may notice reduced performance, but the exact reason remains unclear. I observe the effect each time I play, especially from story mode where traffic and pedestrians are dense and my PC consistently achieves over 100fps in most areas. In online games, I usually see around 60-70fps even when there’s little visual activity nearby. Although GTA’s engine processes everything regardless of visibility, it still manages to calculate everything on the fly. You might want to try adjusting Reflection MSAA to 8x—this setting is currently disabled and appears to significantly impact performance. You could also enable VSync for better stability. Another method is to switch between the desktop and the game using alt+tab, which helps the system adapt synchronously once you launch the game. For example, on my PC, opening the game gives a stable 72 frames per second, and after switching back it reaches adaptive sync between 72 and 144fps depending on my hardware capabilities.
