Please help.. GTA 5 fps drops..

[ledzz]

Alright guys so my spec is:

GTX 980

i5 3570k

16GB 1600mhz ram

So i'm getting drops when driving in this game, everything was set to high, then everything was set to normal, still have the same issue? afterburner says all cores are nearly maxed yet i haven't read anywhere else that this game maxes all cores at just normal settings, on this cpu? weird? any tips?

[Aytex]

let me guess. fps was 100+ then drops down to 50 then goes back up and down?

[GrimNeo]

Resolution and settings?

[ledzz]

umm well its a smooth 60 fps on foot but driving it goes to 45fps and back up, 1080p and normal settings for everything, population density and all that 100 percent.

[ledzz]

it did it on high settings, so dropped everything to normal.

Turn off extended draw distance and high detailed shadows in the advanced settings.

This is normal for GTA V.

They are turned off man, sorry forgot to put that

[Minzo]

I have to turn off Firefox for the game to run lag-free Try it?

[GrimNeo]

Is your cpu or gpu overclocked at all?

[ledzz]

Okay update guys, i turned turbo boost on, as its stock cpu and the framerate is a lot more solid on normal, going to try high now but it seems ok at the mo, no they are both stock

what are you running the game on ? SSD HDD? if HDD how old is it? what's the RPM? your issue is purely a problem with your hard disk not with anything else if the problem only exist while driving. and if this happens mostly in the urban region 

[ledzz]

Tried again with the cpu overclocked to 4ghz, the framerate is a lil better but on high it still drops like mad to 45-50fps a fair bit in traffic, no ideas, afterburner is showing the cpu is maxed, yet i've spoke to people with 970's on a stock clock who don't have as many drops? also nothing else is running when this is happening, strange

what version of the driver are you using ? and most of all this is happening outside of the city right ? or even in the city ?

[Badger906]

its not you're cpu, yours is more than capable of gta v ultra, your gpu is also more than capable of maxing out at any setting at even 4k (be it closer to 30 fps than 60)

have you got the lastest gpu drivers installed?

and is this a fully patched up to date copy of gta or a pirated version??

Oh okay, thats strange, yeh i have the latest drivers, fully patched and its on steam, no piracy here

 

353.30, the latest one and well its mainly in the city dude, never really go out of the city as i'm trying to find the issue 1st

clean install ? i mean the game is not that well optimized to begin with, i have a 780ti and the FPS are always 30-55 fps. 

[Badger906]

close gta and open nvidia experience and allow it to auto detect and set your settings, and then try and play it.

I was getting inconsistency so I let nvidia choose my setting and it was flawless. be it at the time I had a gtx 770.

with a core i5 2500k and a 980ti I get a stable 60fps at 4k with all ultra settings and no advanced setting turned on. shadows I have set to soft.

you'd obviously get a somewhat similar experience with a 980.

[ledzz]

Ok guys thanks a lot, so i've just set the priority for the game to high in task manager, all settings on high and back to stock clocks and the fps seems pretty solid, it can still drop to say 58fps but i guess thats normal, but anymore issues then yeh i'll do a fresh driver install or use nvidia experience thanks so much

REALLY?

you have 780ti and fps goes to 30 WTF!

[Rohith_Kumar_Sp]

REALLY?

tell me about it, getting 30-50 outside of the city, inside its like 40-60

[ledzz]

so i turned off v sync and i was getting 100 fps at ultra with all advanced settings on, obviously you get some big fps drops when driving but it seems ok now at very high with advanced settings off try setting the priority to high peeps, that definately helps
