GTA V stuttering

[Baron623]

So I have a GTX 970 and I just recently started having issues with GTA V. I added a second monitor and it began to drop from 60 fps to 30 or lower at times. Most of the time I am driving. I run it on a 1080p monitor and the other monitor has nothing running on it and is 1024p

Have you just tried disconnecting the second monitor?

Consider running the second monitor off of your integrated graphics rather than the 970.

 

Edit: to enable the integrated graphics and 970 simultaneously, you may need to enable 'iGPU multimonitor' in BIOS.

CPU?

get GPU-Z and monitor your GPU Clocks

also bring up task manager to monitor your CPU utilization

since you now have two monitors you can have it all at the same time

 

grab a screenshot when you get the FPS dips and post back with pictures

The 970 struggling with the other monitor like others have suggested doesn't seem quite right to me.

 

I have a 290X (which is for all intents and purposes the same as a 970) and two 1080p monitors and my fps drop in games with the addition of the second monitor was negligible if there was one at all. Idk what your problem could be.

I'll also add my two cents just because I'm looking, I don't experience these performance issues on my sister's PC (which uses an i5 3570K and a GTX 970) with both of her 1080p displays plugged in.

It should not be struggling with the second monitor, other people with lesser graphics cards can handle it. I have a 4690k an 16gb of corsair vengeance at 1600mhz btw

I will post back with gpu-z and cpu utilization tomorrow. It's late in my time zone and I have to get up in the morning.

It probably isn't related. But I had incredible stuttering on GTAV due to 4GBs of RAM. When I popped up in an additional stick of 4GB, it ran smoothly. The sttutering was obviously when you would cross a invisible line by which the game calculated what areas to load. Since you are driving, I thought I would mention it since I have never had a game react so badly to low RAM and in such a manner (FPS counter was still high too and benchmarks didn't tell anything useful).

Having mirror output brings stuttering. experienced that.
