A new video shared on YouTube by Digital Dreams shows Grand Theft Auto V running at 16K resolution, which is reached by using double resolution scaling with a 7680 x 4320 resolution.

Based on the analysis above, it seems PS5 holds pretty much rock solid in all modes, with only small 1 or 2 frame dips in Performance mode when things get crazy. Meanwhile, the Xbox Series X really seems to struggle in RT Performance mode, dropping all the way down to the 30 to 40fps range, and Performance mode dips to the low 50s....
