GTA V just takes a long while to load for no reason and it's even worse with Online just on account of the authentication to Rockstar servers is... not fast, to say the very least.

Basically, there's nothing you can realistically do unless you have the game on a really slow hard drive. Which, in that case, putting it on a spare hard drive would help.

Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

how much time reduced when i put intel optane via pcie?

The fastest you can go is with an NVMe SSD and as you can see the difference to a SATA SSD is very low. Optane isn't really worth it for an SSD, this is more for speeding up HDDs.

Faster CPU, faster RAM. Don't know if you have dual channel RAM, but that could also be a factor. Amount of RAM could also play a (minor) role, but 16 GB should be enough.

 

Data needs to be loaded from disk, so its speed matters, then it most likely needs to be processed by the CPU and finally placed into RAM. So the combined speed of all of these determines the load time.

 

Whether it is worth it to upgrade all of that to go from 90 seconds to 30 seconds is up to you. It's also possible the test was done with an older version of the game and some changes to the game increased load times so even with an update you might not be as fast.

MY PC SPEC

NVME: WD GREEN M.SATA SSD 240GB read/write upto 500mbps

 

Those speeds indicate how fast large files copy/move. For games and applications loading, you need to see IOPS in SSD spec/benchmark because small small files constitute big games, which is usually less for WD green drivecomparing to samsung 960 EVO.

 

See the table in this link for WD green drive (4kB Random Read & write) : https://www.anandtech.com/show/10748/western-digital-introduces-wd-blue-and-wd-green-ssds

See the last spec table in this link for 960 EVO (4kB Random Read & write) : https://www.anandtech.com/show/10698/samsung-announces-960-pro-and-960-evo-m2-pcie-ssds

 

(That random read is for OS, games, applications' loading times, random write is for installation of games, softwares, etc.)

 

These are general measure not particular to any games or applications, but you get the idea of difference in values. It's huge.

 

This is why my friend, in our India, WD Green/Blue, Kingston A400, SanDisk costs less than Crucial MX500, Samsung 850/860/950/960, etc

No it is a single stick corsair vengeance 8gb ddr4 2400mhz

In that case a second stick to get dual channel is probably worth more than going 3000 MHz. Not sure if it'll really help with load times though.

 

For the sake of comparison: I just opened the game and loaded into single player. My load time was around 35 seconds.

RX 480, i5 3570K, 16 GB DDR3 (2x8, 1333 MHz), Samsung SSD 840

Can u please pull a 8 gig stick and do a another benchmark please so that I can decide to upgrade with ram or go for a evo960 ssd please

With 1x8 GB of RAM my load time from clicking "Single Player" until I was loaded in the game was around 36 seconds, so no real difference. Since I simply use my phone's stop watch that's well within margin of error. Keep in mind that I have DDR3 running at 1333 MHz, so I'm already only about half as fast as your DDR4-2400.

 

I have no other programs open in the background etc. so e.g. if you do, that might also slow you down.

thank you Eigenvektor for the time you have spend with those benchmarking

so now i am clear with ram part

so the Crucial MX500 which has a 4kb random read of 95K IOPS vs a WD green with 4kb random read of 37K IOPS is the main cause for slow loading time on GTA V(offline)

so any thing above 100K IOPS will boost my loading time

once again heartly thanks to Eigenvektor
