RAM is 1 stick of 16GB, single channel unfortunately. Had this as a prebuilt in 2019, didn't know any better. I've enabled XMP in the bios though.

 

CPU-Z screenshots added below, and the RAMMon exported file. System is not on a big load (discord, chrome, etc.) 🙂 

Tried IObit, found some slightly old bluetooth and network drivers.

The game is on a Seagate Barracuda 1TB, same one it's been installed before and ran fine. I'll check it's health just in case.

1. remove iobit its an adware program

2. run a malwarebytes scan as iobit loves dumpibg somewhat sketchy stufd on the pc

3. how long has it been since you played gta V? It has gotten seriously heavier to run and a single stick of ram is absolutly not helping here nowadays. Esepcially with win 11 too which has some odd discrepencies on single channel

I'll be removing most of these apps after troubleshooting anyways, no worries, I unticked all of the extra installs in the setup aswell.

 

I'll do a quick scan too, might aswell.\

 

Must've been a few months, I remember playing it in July 2022. And yup, single channel is quite bad in my case especially on an AMD system, I'm considering going up to 2x16, but there's no budget for it at the moment.

Single channel RAM is the most performance killing thing in a game as old as GTA V.

Get RAM; either another module of the same RAM or sell the 1 you have and get 2 8GB sticks.

You'll get a huge improvement.

1. and 2.

Please don't spread misinformation.

Many programs do bundle stuff during install, even Avast (which is a security company) does that. With driver booster you can unselected everything. And it won't download anything besides the drivers unless you decide to click random stuff in it to download their other software.

It is actually a quite good and very usable piece of software.

OP

 

1. Turn off v-sync in the game settings.

2. Set Performance in the Nvidia control panel / 3d settings.

 

It will help a little until the ram is upgraded.

Iobit has been known for sketchy practices, downloading ligt crypto miners, has been flagged as adware multiple times by many av agencies,...

 

I had it back in like 2013 or something. It was sketchy af back then even and they haven't really changed.
