IM GOING TO GO MAD!!!!!!

[iunttabuzwzdkqh]

I have a gtx 1070 founders edition and I have been fidling with the GTA 5 settings for 3 hours now. My gpu is damn near on fire wile I have everything on normal except the textures on high, the fps is set 100. The game LOOKS SO FUCKING BAD!!!!!! it stutters on the setting menus but not the actual gameplay, but everything looks so shit. I used to play this on ps4 and I remember it looking so nice, but on pc the textures and shadows are jagged and pixelated as fuck, everything is low resolution, the characters look like they are from the ps2 days. All of this whole my gpu is 75+, I'm scared to turn settings any higher because I don't want to fry my gpu or put it past 80 C. What the fuck should I do I'm losing my mind here this is infuriating! Maybe by some chance this is because the game is poorly optimized... Or maybe because my gpu is somehow running old firmware (idk if that would even make a difference and I wouldn't have any idea how to update it anyway)

Sorry to hear about your problems. Please provide full specs.

 

Was this GPU an upgrade?

No I've never upgraded anything, but my cpu is a ryzen 2700 and everything else I don't know

maybe the paste on gpu has dried, take off the cooler and apply some fresh thermal paste

Honestly that is a really good idea and could be the cause but I have no idea how to take it out, much less how replace the thermal paste.

GTA 5 is renown for being unplayable on PC due to stuttering. I was able to fix it once and get a good few hours of playing in without stuttering, and it was a lot of fun, but I have no idea what I did to fix the stuttering.

watch some tutorials, you only need a screwdriver to take off the cooler. Is it out of warranty?

No idea I bought it used because I couldn't afford a new one, is it possible to replace the entire fam setup to make it a double fan?

It's not even stuttering though it's just that it looks horrible on a good gpu

Sounds like you might have a dying Hard Drive then.

Try dduing the drivers and reinstalling them.

Because you have an old reference blower cooler that I'm willing to bet you've never replaced the thermal paste on or even cleaned the dust out of. If you think the problem is with your GPU then try running the game on your integrated graphics and see if the problems persist.

True, how do I get the dust out

Dude's game isn't loading properly what do you mean "what"? He literally said everything looks like this:

With canned air or an air compressor. Not with your breath, it has moisture in it.

I will probably take it apart to remove the thermal paste this weekend but which paste is a good one and how do I take it apart I can't find any videos taking it apart, also if I take it apart won't the dust just fallout of it

Monitor your temps with HWMonitor64 if GPU temps are high it could casue thermal throttling, in that case you likely need to re-paste the GPU, it could be 4+ years old at this point.
