GTA V performance issue

[Utsho]

The in-game MSAA (anti-aliasing) has a significant FPS cost. Enabling 8x MSAA makes the game totally unplayable. This issue has persisted for years. Many GTA V players using Intel ARC GPUs are frustrated by this, and I'm sure they feel the same way. I posted about this in a forum almost 1.5 years ago, and I didn't realize it was solely about anti-aliasing. Now, you might suggest turning off MSAA or using a lower setting. But why would I buy an Intel ARC GPU if a low-end AMD card like the RX 580 performs and looks better than the ARC A750? I'm quite jealous.

I primarily play GTA V. Can you please fix the MSAA? I just want to play GTA V with good quality without a massive FPS drop. I just want to enjoy GTA V before GTA VI comes out.

As someone experiencing the same problem, I contacted your support team months ago and even sent a video, but the problem persisted, so I am using an older Intel driver. I'm sorry, but you are not solving this problem. Yesterday, I downloaded your latest drivers, and GTA 5 Legacy has become completely unplayable. Neither a BIOS update nor a clean graphics card installation has resolved the issue. With your old driver, I'm currently getting around 110-150 FPS at high settings, even with MSAA enabled. However, after downloading your latest driver, I can only get a maximum of 30 FPS with MSAA enabled. Even if I disable MSAA, the FPS tops out at 50-60. You may not be aware, but GTA 5 Legacy holds a very important position within the gaming community. It's a game that's still played extensively on moddable clients like GTA Online, FiveM, RageMP, and alt:V. I'm currently playing on your older driver version, 31.0.101.5594, solely because of these games. Every update you release makes GTA 5 Legacy less playable. I don't want to stay on the old driver, but you're forcing me to.
