GTA V stuttering after GPU upgrade

DDR3 right? your issue is with memory rather than the GPU right now, GTA V is known to have some memory leaking issues making it really need 16gb, with 8gb you need to have at least 10gbs of virtual memory(pagefile) enable by preference on SSD but 7200rpm HDD works too

Should I get an ssd or an extra 8gb of ram? Both I practically the same price. I crystaldisk info before on my drive and it said 2 parititons are faulty.

For this particular issue the extra 8gb ram would be better since it would allow the game to run crystal clear, but I highly recommend considering at least the cheap but highly efficient SanDisk SSD PLUS 240gb g26 for boot drive, windows takes a lot of benefit from working on SSD, not only faster boots, you get more responsiveness and over all performance feeling from it.

 

About your HDD having partitions being faulty is a bad signal, I would leave it doing Disc Defragmentation over the night and really start considering a backup of the most sensitive data.

 

I am afraid you can't go for both at the same time, therefore SSD might be the best alternative as it would give your main system security against sudden failures while somewhat allowing you to play GTA V more effectively thanks to much higher performing Pagefile(virtual memory) but the sweeeeetest spot for any high end gaming would be have 16gb of ram.

Okay I just checked again and crystaldiskinfo said its good. I guess i was just mixed up with my last drive which was caution  my upgrade then will be 16gb.

Okay so the problem was really the ram- while playing gta the ram usage gradually went from 2gbs to 4.3 gbs, where only 0.1gbs of ram was left... This game really shou.d be recommended for 16gbs imo.

 

I used to play minecraft a lot and it also had this issue, it used up so much ram and when it maxed out to 4.3gbs it began to stutter

Im using the latest drivers an I installed straight from the website. Thing is is that I can get fps around 60 or above for like 5 minutes and then it just starts to stutter using very high settings

That is very weird... Is it continuous or if you stay in place looking at the ground does it go away?

During the first mission of the game it begins to stutter right when you have to evade the cops, around like 5 to 10 mins so

Even if I stand the ram available increases to only 0.2gb  

 

I looked in the reddit page for the game and others with 8gb are experiencing same issues, one even had a 1080...

Another guy said the game uses 14GB on normal settings with 32gb of ram..

What are your specs?

 

I have 14GB and I only top out sometimes at 8GB used and I am on nearly max graphics.

Gtx 1060 6gb

I5 4590

8gb 1600mhz

2tb Hitachi

 

My game also maxes out at 8gb, but when tries to go above that it stutters 

 

I can get above 60 fps for like 10 minutes and then the game stutters... The fact you can attain near Max and have no stuttering ng with similar specs convinces me that this is definitely a ram issue

[JJVGaming]

After installing a second 8gb of ram now I can actually play this game. What was happening was that 20% of the memory was going to other processes while gaming, and GTA 5 needs more than 80% of 8gb of ram. Now with 16gb I can run the game so much smooter

I was thinking about doing that, but Im not sure what is means by windows password. is that just my admin password or something else?

Basically if you have to log into windows, you would use that. Windows 10 has the option to use a 4 digit pin instead of a password but DDU doesn't support that so it changes it to make you log in with your password. If you don't use a password currently then there is no issue.
