GTA Online performance drop

[tahmid133712]

Ok so this only happens in online, none of my parts are going 100% and I get some disturbing frame drops while driving around in online.

 

My specs are:

i7 2600

RX 570 4G

Game is on a 1TB 7.2k RPM WD Blue

16GB of DDR3

All advanced graphical options are turned off.

 

I have already tried changing to the lowest settings.

 

Here is a video:

Online play is reliant on your network/internet.  Cant load what it doesn't know is there until it gets information about what to load.  Reason Online play is more "taxing" on a system

GTA Online in general recently has been super unstable. There isnt much you can do so just hope R* releases performance patches for the Casino Heist DLC

It's more taxing on the system but none of my devices are being taxed? And my network is fine I have hyperoptic 1gbps

You can have as much throughput, and the nicest system in the world.  If the servers you are communicating WITH are only sending you data at a speed - well that speed is what you will receive them.  You are not the only person to have this with GTA5 Online - its everyone.  My systems run 120 FPS offline, 60-80 FPS online.  Same settings.

 

Reality is, you have a low end CPU (for GTA 5) and a low end GPU (for GTA 5) so you would struggle to "maximize" your equipment, especially online.  If you have 1 second to build a frame, and in that 1 second you can only achieve 30% CPU usage to get the frame time, well the GPU is only going to display what the CPU tells it to (basically), and likely its going to struggle to utilize itself to 100% in that 1 second time frame.

You said low end for GTA 5 but my specs are above the recommended, what is the solution?

reminds me of how before update to better servers PUBG (30 to 60 ticks, and other optimizations) had serious frame-dropping issues even on high end hardware because the latency from the servers, and way game was configured to run in online play, meant users saw a performance decrease on their end when server couldn't keep up.

GTA 5 upon release is not the same GTA 5 of today either, recommended specs are like the pirates code - a loose set of guidelines.  Minimum means it will load up (likely) but have a minimum experience, recommended means you will have an average experience (from my experience in gaming).  You are having an average experience.  Couple that average setup with Online play - you are going to get serious Frame drops.

 

Solution?  Upgrade your rig so that the time it does have to build frames based on communicating with the servers, will be more efficient.  Either way you are still going to get (easiest way to say this) half the frames in online vs offline mode, coupled with drops based on waiting for information to be given to you via the Online servers - and once gotten has to be immediately drawn onto the screen.
