Check you on high performance in power options

[Inrix]

What kind of hdd are you using? If its old, slow or a bit full that could be causing it. Also do you have many background programs running? You can see whats running through the processes tab in taskmanager, the drops could also be caused by a antivirus depending on what one your using... Are the drops frequent or random?

[ilyas001]

well for more information yes i checked power option it's on high performance

i have hitashi hdd 7200 i don't if it's in a good shape but most of my softwares says it's in good health (but i have an idée i will copy one or two games in a external hdd tomorow maybe and try )

programs i have the good ones like avast anti virus my browser tune up and i think that's all and i have system and compressed mamory that takes 400 mo of ram +600 for browsers but even with them closed same thing the drops aren't random if so i would still enjoy my games when thet start they don't go they go

Could be that your VRAM is too low. Try monitoring it's usage during games using MSI Afterburner. Also from what I've heard GTAV can be quite unplayable with only 8GB of RAM with hitching all over the place and frequent pop-in.

[ilyas001]

well i'm always a more then 2 gb of ram but like i told you i have problems even with low settings because i used to play very well gta5 at ultra exept textures a high very well and then for no raison i can't play it even with everything on low i really don't get it it's draving me insane  

[Carclis]

I'm just throwing ideas out there. It's going to be very hard to help you without seeing what MSI Afterburner shows and your full specs. It could be too little VRAM, maybe overheating of CPU/GPU, bad driver or even bad PSU.

[ilyas001]

what is a psu ? 

[ilyas001]

hi guys so i did this this benchmark and this is my results any thoughts ?

I am  not good at this but maybe to low Vram I mean normally a game takes 4 gb of Vram=ram in Gpu(almost)

GTA V with 8GB of RAM is actually completely fine. Hell, I was able to manage it on 4GB of RAM.

well yeah  ithough of that but by looking at the number of videos over the internet of people playing my games a ultra setting with no probleme at all wiith the same gpu made me ask question anyway i made that bernchmark and i saw some gtx 960 scoring 7166 in performace  when i had 5000 in the picture above

Oh.

GTA V is still competely manageable on 2GB of VRAM.

any thoughts and i can be wrong i invite you to help with some research or other tests to do to know if the gpu is really working fine or not any suggestions ?

Games use what is available to them, not a set amount. 

[ilyas001]

You're right, I was thinking of 4GB from this video

Have you monitored your temperatures at all? It's a bit of a long shot, but it's not at all unusual to see performance drops like that from a card that is throttling.

 

[ilyas001]

the gpu doesn't ho higher then 65 c so it's a normale température  cpu same thing
