GTA V runs very badly

[Fatelinha]

Hi guys 

 

So I finished downloading this massive game earlier today. Hurray!! But not. 

My specs are as follows: 

Intel Core2Quad Q9400 @ 3.00Ghz

4 GB RAM

EDIT: R9 270x (please don't kill me for the 970 mistake)

 

I can run prett much any game at low-mid settings but not this one I've turned all the settings down and still get horrible FPS.

My specs are above or equal to the minimum specs so it should run smoothly at least at minimum quality shouldn't it?

4GB RAM is likely a big reason.

R9 970x

wat?

 

4Gb of ram might be contributing.

 

How much vram do you have?

[othertomperson]

4GB RAM definitely isn't enough for AAA gaming.

 

This is true. We're finally seeing 64-bit gaming becoming common and games pretty often want 4GB just to themselves. This is what prompted me to stop thinking that 8GB was enough, let alone 4GB.

 

Also a core 2 quad and what I assume is a 270X... yeah I'm not surprised GTA V runs badly.

Your 4gbs are holdin ya back.

say that again

[Lord_Karango17]

damn I really want that r9 970x you got there... odd that you are not getting 650 fps

 

seriously though, do you have the amd drivers for the game? A buddy said that he had some problems bfore he updated and now they are gone (generally what happens with driver updates)

 

edit: Im not good with older cpus, but does the core 2 quad have 4 cores, or 2?

[Aniallation]

say that again

There is a giant annotation that says READ DESCRIPTION. And in the description:

 

The game has some stuttering (at the end of the video mostly, when I exploded everything) due to the 4GB of ram (I'm using the same graphic settings as in my first GTA V video) NOTE: I installed windows a few days ago so I have as much ram available as possible, if you have problems with 4GB of ram, do a fresh windows installation. (After playing a while with 4GB of ram I started getting stuttering all over the place try getting 8GB of ram for a better experience, the stutters seem to get worse and worse as you play it)

[IMPERIUS]

wait what gpu is that?

Read the video's description.

but it works. and I have seen people on reddit playing it with 4gb  :lol:

Core 2 Quad

It's the processor. Get an i3 or an i5. (if you have the extra money, it's worth it)

Again almost maxing out RAM, and that performance is quite below what to expect from a GTX 650 in GTA V, not to mention it's 900p not 1080. Are you even watching or reading these vids before posting them? Yes GTA V says 4GB as a minimum but if you want a decent experience you'll want at least 6GB, especially if you have a decent GPU.

 

Also a core 2 quad and what I assume is a 270X... yeah I'm not surprised GTA V runs badly.

If what people say about how GTA V performs with CPUs is correct (which I find it to be), a Core 2 Quad at 3.0GHz should be around the same as my Phenom II X6 at 2.8, which gets solid 60 at 1080p high settings with a 7870 and 8GB of RAM.

[kipper]

Gonna be running this game on my AMD Phenom 2 Quad at 4.0ghz with 4GB 1600mhz CL7 ram and a HD 7770...

 

 

Will see how it runs and if the "4GB" limit is real.

If you have the Gaming Evolved program installed which is usually included with AMD's drivers (Similar to Nvidia's Geforce Experience), you should see if it has suggested optimal settings, that might help you out. Above all else, make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

[Fatelinha]

wat?

How much vram do you have?

It's only a 270, please don't kill meeeee.

2GB of VRAM

4 cores

NO please don't tell the GPU Police!!! I know AMD/Nvidia Mashups are forbidden this days

(Great Flagship name tho )

[Fatelinha]

Thank you guys! I had already got another 4GB Stick on the mail but I RMA'd the RMA Have to wait now

[Humbug]

Install the newest catalyst 15.6 beta drivers.

Lowest settings are badly optimized, get a better GPU and more Ram.

[lovingGamer]

4 GB is the problem....

Wut? Better GPU? The reccomended GPU fpr GTA V is a 7870 wich is the exact same performances as the R9 270...
