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. I've even upgraded my system from an i7 2600 because of this issue but it didn't help and I just wasted money.

 

2 days ago in a session I was getting a stable 60fps after putting the GTA5.exe priority to high, but now even with the high priority the frames still drop to the 40s even in private lobbies. I've been searching for an answer for ages.

 

None of my cores are maxing out while playing and my temps are fine.

 

My specs are:

Ryzen 5 1600x

RX 570 4G

Game is on a 1TB 7.2k RPM WD Blue

16GB 2666mhz

All advanced graphical options are turned off.

 

I have already tried changing to the lowest settings and turning off vsync.

My guess would be that this is the culprit. You said those stutters happen when driving around? It could be that the drive is too slow to load all the necessary data when driving.

Try putting the game on a SSD and see if it still lags.

It also happens when running around, I don't see any objects popping and my drive usage stays at a normal usage while playing.
