How's the GTA frame rate driving around town? That's where I've noticed the most frame rate issues. Seems like my 970's couldn't maintain a steady 60 fps no matter what when driving around.
The FPS stays at 60 FPS going 120 MPH in the city. All stock settings. I refuse to OC when I don't have to. Reduces lifespan of the card for extra performance I do not need in 1080p and 1440p gaming.
There seem to be some areas not optimized well I found 1 area where I get 30 FPS standing still just looking at a graffiti wall on a bridge next to a highway. Running around, stuff blowing up, etc... FPS only drops to low 50s but never goes below 50FPS in regular gameplay.
The GPU is only using 70% - 80% of its total power as well in this game.

What % is the fan at at that temp? Is the fan pretty quiet? Did you create a fan curve or using stock settings? If so, what is the stock fan setting? Are you running just one monitor or more (gaming)?
Thanks...Al
36% for the fan @ 1200 RPM 72C-75C. I can't hear it over my other fans, no coil whine, just quiet. Fan curve is all stock. Stock settings don't kick in until around 55C - 60C @ 15% 300-500 RPMs or so I have dual monitors, one 40 inch TV for whatever and a 23 inch 120hz 3D Vision gaming monitor.
