Stuttering and low framerate GTA5

[FrigidNinja]

My System:

Gtx 980ti

i5 6600k

16gb DDR4 Ram

 

all at stock clock speeds

 

im using a 2560x1080 ultra-wide monitor, but for the sake of experimentation, i took the resolution down to 1280x800 and the problem persisted (it may have worsened)

im using the minimum settings.

 

what the hell am i doing wrong?!?

GTA update has fucked the performance. I see that with my 1070 and latest patch but I don't have old patch to verify this

Well, my 970 does perfectly fine on rather high settings and double the resolution, so it's definitely not a power problem. 

I'd say reinstall your GPU drivers. Maybe even clean them of with DDU. 

Also check ingame how your CPU and gpu are boosting/temps/usage

Is VSync on? When i had my R9 390x Vsync made the game stutter like crazy

Is it full screen or borderless?

I'm actually here to ask, is GTA5 still worth it to buy. Want to play online with friends but everyone who hasn't played it don't want to buy it because of the generic "game's gonna be boring, you're just gonna do the same thing over and over again"

What is the CPU and GPU usage like? I just started playing back the games yesterday and stuttering only happen when i'm driving fast.. like very fast. 
Try verify the game files and make sure your CPU and GPU is not throttling.

Any OC?

Update your gpu drivers?

Ensured that your monitor's cable is connected to your gpu port and not your mobo's igpu port?

Does this happen with other games?

 

Also gta v can become unoptimized at times too but of course ensure the things above first

Im having fun on my first play through, despite the issues. Get it on sale, play it once, and dump it like a side chick IMO.

i7

 

really they make a lot of difference in some games, FPS doesn't really change, it's frame times aka stutter which most "reviews" don't cover, they just show max and average FPS

so it is an issue with my setup?

 

went through a couple hours of playing, with MSI afterburner running. temps never went above 70'C and the boost clock never went down

Your gpu isn't the issue it's a great card. Try running it with a usage utility open like Aida 64 or something and see how cpu usage is whilst playing, could be the update, but I know GTA v is one of the few games at the moment that likes i7s and cores along with rise of the tomb raider and battlefield one

[FrigidNinja]

is there any way to tell the game to decrease the quality in order to tax the cpu less?

 

[FrigidNinja]

I took the clock speed from 3.5 to 4Ghz, and adjusted my fan curve so it ran cooler overall. The game ran perfectly with no stuttering.

 

Thanks for pointing out it was a CPU issue rather than a GPU issue guys.
