In GeForce Experience I adjusted my GTA configurations to the best. When I start the game it runs at 10 frames per second, which isn't unique—this issue also appears with Arma 3. I own a GTX 960 with 4GB RAM, an AMD FX 8350 and 16GB of memory. Two 8GB drives are connected. Could there be a fake card or CPU involved? My friends all have similar specs except for RAM, and one of them can play GTA V smoothly at high settings.
GeForce Experience often seeks to boost performance by doubling or quadrupling screen resolution (like pushing 2160p on a 1080p display) via DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution). It also disregards Borderless window options and insists on fullscreen mode, even if it harms gameplay. I’m using a 2560x1440 Borderless window on my main monitor for most titles. GFE pushes to run games in DSR 3620x2036 fullscreen as the "best" setting, alongside forcing 200% scaling in games such as WoW when 100% suffices most of the time.
