Can't max out GTA V at 1440p with AA. I am getting like 30-40 FPS.

Getting the exact same framerates. Look at 1440p min and max.

Not sure if that makes any difference but they're running it @ 4x MSAA, while you just AA.

I was actually at 4xMSAA+TxAA enabled. Reducing to 2xMSAA doesn't improve the framerates much.

Besides, the CPU is barely getting used in GTA V. IT's like 3.5Ghz on all 4 cores.

the biggest bump in fps will come when you put grass in high or normal rather then ultra also at 1440p why do you need both 4xmsaa and txaa
