Edit 2: GTA5 has a capped FPS of 187.5fps. This interferes with benchmarking. I removed the old results and have maxed all settings, to ensure we don't fall foul of this FPS limit. New uncapped results are below...
Edit 3: Added 425.31 vs 452.06 vs geo-11 benchmarks and raw data

Hi guys,
So many of you will have seen my posts detailing GTA5 benchmarks with various CPU and driver configurations over the years, thanks to your help.
You might also remember me as the guy who discovered the so-called 3-core bug, and tried for years to get nvidia to fix it, adding detailed benchmarks from various games (and maybe even push nvidia a little too hard where they just cancelled 3DV altogether ).
We have a Lot of history and detailed data from this game, and amazingly, GTA5 is already one of the tested working games.
Our insanely talented shaderhackers have done the impossible and created a new 3D driver. I am excited about showing off its performance compared to 3D vision. I hope we can come together in this thread to get things moving towards making that happen.
Here are my results, thanks to bo3b and the team detailing how to make it work...
An amazing 38% to 64% performance increase, going from 425.31 to geo-11
A whopping 78% to 105% performance increase when going from any other driver to geo-11
Raw data:
Code: Select all
3DV 425.31 geo-11 425.31 % Increase
Pass 0 60.3 87.6 45%
Pass 1 48.4 79.5 64%
Pass 2 64.3 95.3 48%
Pass 3 88.3 133.6 51%
Pass 4 67.9 93.7 38%
Overall average 49%
------------------
3DV 452.06 geo-11 452.06 % Increase
Pass 0 46.8 87.6 87%
Pass 1 38.7 79.5 105%
Pass 2 46.8 95.3 104%
Pass 3 68.6 133.6 95%
Pass 4 52.5 93.7 78%
Overall average 94%
------------------
Additional note: I benchmarked geo-11 on both 425.31 and 452.06 - geo-11 performance was identical in both scenarios.

3D Vision only comparison between CPUs (NO geo-11)
The benchmarks show 2 things:
1. The 20% performance penalty (or rather, an impressive 25% performance uplift) associated with using later drivers than the official 425.31
2. The 30% reduction (or rather, an impressive 44% performance uplift) when comparing a 5.1 GHz 9900K/8700K/7700K/6700K to an overclocked 12900K.
