GTA V Settings

[AllenSalar]

Hi guys, for some reason, I can only generate 40-60 FPS in GTA V while just walking/driving around in the streets.

 

My system specs are:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz (OC'ed to 4.2 GHz)

GPU: AMD Radeon R9 380 4GB GDDR5 (Stock)

RAM: 8GB

 

My in-game settings are:

Fullscreen resolution: 1920x1080

Population (both): half

Distance scaling: 1/4

Other settings all at low (normal)

 

Shouldn't I be able to at least generate a stable 60 FPS with my specs and at least settings on medium (high)?

Or is there something I could do to increase my FPS while still maintaining the 1080p resolution?

try checking msi afterburner to see whether if its a cpu bottlenecking issue

if it is then maybe overclocking the fx6300 will help

I would say you should expect 60 FPS on medium settings.

depends what's running in the background while you play

Running a CPU-heavy game, on a weak CPU, with a high overhead GPU driver. Seems about right.

make sure advanced graphics settings are turned off

turn down shadows (or make sure you use AMD CHS) and grass

turn down tesselation

lower view distance and population (amount of NPC or whatever the setting is called)

I don't know if this is related but I had to stop playing it because I used to get 60 solid all the time (it was capable of 60 - 90 but I vsynced it), and then one day, it just started getting mid 50s, even though no settings had changed.  I even tried lowering the graphics but it didn't help.  I just assumed rockstar had finally ruined it like they did with GTA IV.  Only difference is with GTA IV (at least on disk) I had the choice to easily revert back to an old patch that works flawlessly, but not so now...

Should I push to 4.3 or 4.4 or even higher?

Nothing.

I can run it with a stable 60FPS on my laptop that had i7-2820QM and Quadro 2000M 2GB DDR3. (That was a year ago tho), so it might be?

i'd say push it as high as possible while maintaining reasonable temps and good stability

 

GTA5 is a cpu intensive game

your processor isnt that strong to begin with

and you paired it with a gpu with higher cpu overhead, so its making it worse

 

overclocking might improve things slightly, i dont know how much but it should if its a cpu bottlenecking issue

I see, aight then.

 

Well thanks for everyone's input. I appreciate it.
