GTA V PC

[GoldDimTzam69]

I got GTA V pc as a gift from a friend because he wants to play with someone online. I installed the game and then ran it. The game looks good but there is a lot of screen shutter and it lags the game. I have v-sync off everything on low settings and it still does the same.

 

These are my pc specs:

Intel g3258 @3.20Ghz

Asus Strix edition 960 2gb

6GB DDR3 RAM

 

I have seen videos on youtube where they have the same build as me and their game is on high and it runs smoothely. I dont know what has happened to my pc. I updated my graphic card drivers to the latest ones from nvidia (Version: 359.06). I restarted my pc and ran gta again and the same thing happened, screen shutter and lag. I changed the settings to ultra, high, medium and low and they all had the same frame rate, around 40-50fps. I am sure i havent installed something correctly becasue fps isnt affected by the quality. 

 

Can someone help me here and tell me what I can do?

 

Thanks

The Pentium is the problem. An i5 would be the best but an i3 would still be an improvement.

You're not the only one with lag.

It doesn't run good, at all with dual cores

Its the CPU, like Amazingasian said. My system had that same CPU before i went with a i7 due to un-playable FPS on some games like GTA....and stutter. Check your GPU utilization, its suffering due to the CPU. Some games may be fine with that CPU but, if its a game that is very heavy on a CPU like GTA or even BF then that G CPU will struggle to keep up with the GPU.

I am looking around the internet trying to find a good cpu for LGA1150 socket but they are really expensive.

 

I found an i5 4460, 4590, 4690, 4690K, i7 4790, 4790K.

 

Any other options I have for a quad core that it cheap and does the work?

a 4460 will be fine.

 

8Gb or morb ram would be better than 6gb

A i5 4460 i think is the cheapest you can get on 1150 that may be ok for GTA. Unless maybe you change to an older platform like a 1155 and get a used i5 for cheaper. If you must go with 1150 sins you have that platform then try craigslist maybe or something for a used 4460.

I have already bought new ram (16GB) because I also do editing and I think it should be plenty for GTA to run smoothly. 

 

 

Previously I had a GTX 260 (895mb) graphics card and the same cpu and I ran gta on that and it was runnning smoothly without screen shutter (it could only run on low though). I then upgraded to the 960 (2GB) and the screen shutter started. 

 

Is it the graphics card or not? I also ran some other games with the new 960 to see if the GPU is faulty. League of Legends ~200fps Ultra settings, CSGO ~250fps Ultra settings, TF2 ~250 fps Ultra settings, Dota 2 ~200fps Ultra settings, Far Cry 4 ~50fps High settings (has no lag and no screen shutter)

 

I am sure that it is the cpu's fault but why is it working perfectly on other games but GTA? I know GTA is a really demanding game but so is far cry 4. How does that happen?
