GTA V Foliage BS

[SpeederT12]

Hey boys and gals,

So, I'm playing gta v on pc (6600k, strix 1070 2100mhz, 8gigs of hyperx ddr4 currently 2666mhz, a gigabyte hd3p mobo, 850 evo 250gb (that's where the game is) and a corsair rm650x) and with everything set to the maximum and 4x msaa there is some extreme frame drops that are really, REALLY noticeable (60fps usual in the city, 40fps in a place with more trees and/or grass), though sometimes it recovers and in the same high foiliage area bumps up to 60fps. Wait, what? Why is my high-end gpu getting choked like that? Oh, I should also mention that I'm running with vSync ON, since my 60hz 1920:1080 Dell monitor doesn't have Gsync. Also, is there atleast fast sync in gta?

Vsync is garbage. You are not the only person seeing these frame drops when grass is added in. Grass is very demanding and there is a shit ton of it. Performance on ANY PC will see a decline when in grassy areas, even with my 1080 I see some dips.

No Fast sync in GTA nor any modern game that I can recall.

 

Nobody uses fast Sync generally. Why did you turn on Vsync? Turn it off and see what happens.

 

Frame drops near foliage is 100% completely normal and the only real solution is to disable vsync and lower setting a little bit.

Frame drops with foliage is just completely normal. Even minecraft has frame drops when you're staring at foliage....

For some odd reason, it tears worse than ANY other game i've seen. How can one frame have 10 tears? Sometimes the frame drop is better than the stuttery feeling the tearing creates, atleast for me

If it has to stay then keep it, I just dont like it. Seeing as it isnt an esport or a fast paced shooter, you dont need all of the FPS and VSYNC could help with smoothness and could be better in GTA.

It does help the smoothness and I come from Gta V on ps4 and am terrified by the fact that the og ps4 doesn't care about the foliage but my pc that costs 5x more than that get shot in the foot. Yes, I know that it's 30fps but still. Which setting should I knock down? Or is there a mod that downgrades the grass, like, no shadows on every bloody pixel?

Lower anti aliasing and shadows

I have issues with frame drops in GTA V myself on the system in my sig. I found looking at CPU usage at max settings, GTA V hit's 100% CPU utilisation on all cores on a 6600K. It's just how the game is. You can either throw a 6700K in your system since GTA V makes use of multiple cores and threads or turn down settings. I'm personally waiting for the Kaby Lake CPUs to ship then I'll put a 7700K in my system.
