Should I get the RX Vega 64 or GTX 1080?

At 1440P. A Geforce 980 is not enough to retain 60fps in GTA5 anyway.
For 1080P it is more than sufficient.

And the benchmarks are an accurate reflection of what you can achieve, if the rest of your hardware is up to scratch that is.
Ivy Bridge is old. Let alone an i5 Ivy Bridge chip. That's not the benchmarks at fault.

I wasn't using my 980 at 1440p at the time. I also have a 1080p 60hz monitor which I was running GTA 5 with at the time. It was not sufficient for 1080p, not with the 980 paired with the i5 4670k with 8gb DDR3.

 

The rest of my hardware is more than up to par with the new build, yet it won't always be the same as the benchmarks, because my build isn't exactly the same as theirs and even then it won't always be the same in exact results either. Btw I'm not just talking about an old i5 and a 980, I'm not using those parts anymore, I'm sporting an i7-6700k and a 1080ti for 1440p atm, so I've had and seen two sets of results at 1080p and 1440p to match them up against the benchmarks. I'm not someone that just maxes for no reason, I've tested all the settings back and forth, windows, bordlerless, full screen etc. I do like trying to see how my new/old builds stack up against the benches, to try to prove how "accurate" they are.

Ultimate thing about PC gaming is, results are not always the same, a console benchmark?, that will be due to all of them being built under a single specification. PC benchmarks are a "maybe", not a "definitely".
