| Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5) | Full HD, Normal (Check settings) | Full HD, High (Check settings) | Full HD, Very High (Check settings) | Full HD, Ultra (Check settings) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 2060 [90W] | 90 fps | 83 fps | 73 fps | 48 fps |
| GeForce RTX 2060 [115W] | 91 fps (+1%) | 87 fps (+5%) | 77 fps (+5%) | 52 fps (+8%) |
Verdict
In short, the 115W variant is just 5% faster on average. This is not a huge difference and you’re not going to spot the difference if you aren’t watching the FPS counter. No matter the TGP versions, the two sweet spots in terms of visual quality and gameplay smoothness are High and Very High. Ultra looks great but it’s too taxing, especially if you want to play multiplayer.
