hi. i'm experiencing some insane lag as you an see in the viedo i have posted in youtube. (link down below)

 

in the video i filmed gta v where you can see my settings and all that in the video. it stutters to the point of extreme. when it lags my cpu & gpu usage drop. my psu has no problem powering the two and they are in good temperatures. gpu 50ish and cpu 45ish.

 

i don't know what does it, I have had suspicion of it beeing the storage, but the game is on a samsung evo 850 250gig ssd with the OS and it has 25gig free space

 

my pc specs are msi gtx 970, I5-4690k, 8gigs of hyperx savage, corsair ax 760, samsung 850 EVO 250gig, WD AV-GP 2TB, Corsair hydro H100i gtx  and asus rog maximus vii ranger mobo.

 

 

the video:

 

Update:1

I tested farcry 4 and the same thing happens, the cpu & gpu usage goes up and down like cray cray, but when it freezes the in game radio music keeps playing, the fps counter is still updating frequently, and a loading icon appears on the top right of the screen. i tested first with high video options then low, no difference. when i played cod AW nothing happened at all, high fps on high settings. 

seems that it only happens on open world games

Talk about stutter. Try reinstalling GPU drivers and making sure you are not playing on stupid high settings (try the default recommendations from GeForce Experience to start)

 

Additionally if you bought it via steam in game settings there is an option to "check/repair installation" click that.

Uninstall EVGA Precision, and try MSI Afterburner instead, and underclock your gpu by ~50mhz, see if that helps.

You didn't bother watching the part where he goes through the options menu in the vid, so you can see the settings?

[shadowbyte]

ayeee same issue here

I have no idea what settings are recommended by Nvidia for that gpu on that game. I also don't know if any particular setting has issues with the 970 (like if a recent update broke something).

 

My tips are steps you should take every time an issue like this persists, and are generally good advice.

Irrelevant. And no, GeForce Experience is shit. If you look at the settings, they're reasonably fine for his setup, and he isn't too close to his vram limit either.

Fuck off. Like really? It's a place to start. I'm not saying you should use it once you get in, it is just useful to know if the issue persists.

 

Like have you actually ever done troubleshooting before in your life?

 

(Step 0: Try default clocks if applicable)

 

Step 1: Check settings

Step 2: Reinstall Drivers

Step 3: Reinstall Game

 

That's literally troubleshooting 101, and you want to give me shit for suggesting it?

Why didn't you ask if it happens in any other games beforehand then?

Don't get salty with me, mate.

i dont have the evga program, just afterburner

Ae you running of the dGPU instead of integrated graphics? If so , try reinstalling the drivers.

Well bugger me, i thought that was EVGA Precision, my bad.

Overclocking your 970 too far will reset it to default speeds, download GPUZ and look under PerfCaps, this will tell you if your card is downclocking. I was under the impression that GTA V likes more cores to spread the workload hence working well on both intel and FX chips, because it's open world, putting the game on an SSD will help load times and rendering.

This is true, but you can check in afterburner if it is in "safe mode", which should be 595 Mhz core clock

Didn't know this, I just use GPUZ as it's much easier to glance at my second screen with all my information software on it like HWinfo 64 and GPUZ.

i haven't used any of the overclocking options on any programs, for now i feel that i don't need it

so i don't think it's the clock speeds that are messing me up

Either something is using your resources in the background or you need to overclock/turn down your settings. I had an issue like this on my AMD and it turned out to be the EC sensors on my ASUS motherboard being enabled with HWinfo64. Turned off EC sensors and it was fine.

 

You have an unlocked processor and an overclocking motherboard, you should be overclocking...

Stutter from OC is not a common thing from Nvidia/Intel parts. They just crash instead.

I have a 970, I'm aware of the crashing... and stuttering. EC Sensors are on most high end ASUS boards and from my experience with them on my AMD board they cause stuttering just like that in the video.

 

I need to boot up my ASUS vii Ranger to see if that also has EC sensors but I've just delidded my 4670k so won't be happening for a few days/week.

Hmm, random cool issue I guess.

 

Delidding 1st gen haswell? Gonna be fun. Dem temps.

yeah, but i don't really need to. i am pretty certain that the stuttering isn't because of the cpu and gpu beeing slow, can it be the harddrive??

i just updated my drivers, but i haven't re-installed the game, it happens with other games too so that would just be a waste of A LOT of time.... shitty wifi isn't a fun thing.. :,(

It happens with other games is a important notice to give on the first page...

 

So you should remount your graphics card and cpu then, and if shit doesn't get fixed about all you can do is a clean install.

 

Sounds like a hardware or low level software level issue.
