Did Rockstar put out a massive performance patch for GTA 5?

[username00]

It's been a while since I've played GTA 5. I booted it up and performance didn't seem quite what it should've been. Come to find out, my Crossfire was disabled and was only using one of my 270x's. I got both of them running, have every setting maxed out that I can with my VRAM, (can't use ultra textures), and at 1080p, I'm benchmarking what a TitanX SLI setup tested at in 2015.

Frames Per Second (Higher is better) Min, Max, Avg
Pass 0, 18.719168, 115.883034, 90.915352
Pass 1, 21.347904, 116.253532, 90.720833
Pass 2, 23.908073, 240.448135, 96.192215
Pass 3, 38.682762, 168.788651, 128.648636
Pass 4, 34.936779, 271.159882, 105.251411

The awesome performance is welcome, but I can't find anyone mentioning anywhere that suddenly the game started running way better.

This is the site I'm comparing against. Am I just benchmarking incorrectly?

My Heaven 4.0 benchmark is what it's always been 1437 on ultra everything.

Interesting. I'm replaying the game right now and didn't specifically notice a performance jump. Then again, I'm only on a vanilla GTX1080 with no SLI or anything like that.
The game always seems to have hiccups with haze and certain weather effects, especially when you're going to and from Sandy Shores via observatory area. While it same seem like I can go higher with my settings like 75% of the time, then all of a sudden it will bottom out and I end up going back to more conservative AA settings.
