With hairworks active, performance drops to around 60fps on average, though it will fluctuate. G sync won’t affect the issue. You should be all set.
To run the game at its highest performance without falling below 50fps consistently, you’d likely need a Titan X, based on a review I read. It’s around 1080p, but 1440p pushes it to full capacity—just wait a few years or try some extreme settings like high-end slicing or crossfire.

If you skip advanced graphics or disable them, performance might improve slightly—though for me, running GTA V was so smooth I got a refund eventually. Some places felt fine with basic settings, but in certain intense moments like chases, I dropped to around 30fps. Adjusting settings can make a big difference without you noticing.
980 Ti offers a reduced version of the Titan X's GM200 GPU. It seems to perform similarly due to better cooling and less throttling, making it competitive without being significantly more powerful. It closely matches the Titan X in capability, which is sufficient. The Titan X has largely faded from the market. Nvidia likely replaced its top card with the R9 Fury X because a $1000 Titan X would face strong price pressure. At this stage, the Titan X is mainly available for discounts or discontinuation.
