GTA Extreme Lag

[Benana101]

Hey guys, one of my friends is having trouble with GTA 5. In the game he gets exactly 1 fps and it never goes over.. He has everything up to date and every other game runs extremely well including Arma 3 which is a demanding game, he can run that at 60fps on Ultra no problems..

 

Here are the specs - 

 

CPU

    Intel Core i5 2500 @ 3.30GHz    

    Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology

RAM

    16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)

Motherboard

    Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. P67A-UD4-B3 (Socket 1155)

Graphics

    DVI (1920x1080@144hz)

did you enable "Frame Scaling Mode" by accident?

because 1FPS is absurd

Nope that's turned off. He said its going at 20fps and then pausing and then back to 20fps and then back to pausing

Some people have problems with V-Sync in GTA, try turn it off if it's on. If it's off, try turn it on.

hmm, that's strange

then try turning AA off if he hasn't already

Yeah he's tried it on full, half and off and its the same

He has it turned off and still nothing

Disable crossfire and check performance?

Okay, will get him to do that now

I just want to point out how Arma 3 cannot be used for comparision unless you're talking about the base single player missions as each server has different plug ins and mods therefore, I sometime get 100+fps on ultra then sometimes I get less than 20fps depending on the map and server. So it's best not to use any Bohemia games for comparison reasons (plus, it's a CPU bound game)

 

Has he tried updating his drivers (even though I can't see it helping here), tried turning all the settings to lowest (except resolution), maybe he has virtual super resolution activated?

Yeah just thought it would be good to point out! I'll check and see if the Super Resolution is on
