GTA V stuttering

[singhashwini19]

Hi all,

 

Really need some inputs for running GTA V. I am facing stuttering issue in game very much. Would help if you guys tell me the best settings according to my specs. Below are the specs of my laptop. 

 

Model - Asus TUF FX504GE-E4366T

Processor - i5 8th Gen (8300H)

RAM - 8 GB DDR4

GPU - Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5

Windows 10

 

I tried various like all settings to normal then all High and some in Very High but the stuttering is there, sometimes it runs smooth but most of the time it doesn't. 

Thanks

May be it could be your hard disk? How much space do you have on it? SSD or spinners?

Unlikely. Games load everything into VRAM and System memory. Basically nothing gets actively read from the storage drive. Thats why loading screens exist. Though a massive world like GTA 5 might require streaming like this, it would probably only show up when moving very quickly. 

 

More than likely this is something driver related. 

 

I recommend DDU to remove the drivers and install Nvidias latest drivers.

Turn down grass quality and any post fx/msaa/fxa.

This sounds to me like you are having thermal issues. Check your temps when the game is running smooth and when its not.

Is the stuttering is specific areas of the map or random? Like mentioned above - grass and foiliage can also have this effect.

maybe you have some other background apps eating ram or thermal issues, monitor your thermals and monitor any background apps using task manager

No, the stuttering is not area related. I will check the temps and background apps.

Any software recommended for this purpose.

Game is installed on Firecuda Hybrid HDD.

Here is the video of the stuttering, sorry the video is captured through a mobile camera.

The CAM software from NZXT works well for monitoring (also with in-game overlay).

You can install zMonitor or Open Hardware Monitor

This will allow you to check your CPU and GPU temps

Run them before you open the game and check your min/max temps and also take note of how quickly does the temp rise

As DaMainMan mentioned - it could be temps (actually it could be one of many things that cause the stutter, but let's try to eliminate the options one by one)

Do update the drivers before you proceed with this testing though

Are you running your RAM in single or dual channel?What is it's speed?

Temps are normal i guess as checked through msi afterburner, the max temp for gpu was between 71-74 C and for cpu it was 72-73 C.

Now last thing i am gonna try is installing windows from scratch as the windows i am using currently is came with the laptop.

Are you playing on your laptop?

RAM is single channel DDR4-2666 Mhz

[OBCTGamer]

make sure the game is running in fullscreen mode

turn off vsync in game

turn on vsync in nvidia control panel

Single channel could be the problem.

This i tried but no luck and also other tweaks in the nvidia settings mentioned elsewhere.

[OBCTGamer]

can you send a picture of ur ingame settings from the graphics tab and the advanced graphics tab

Get another stick of ram.

Get more RAM (additional stick, not just capacity)

Not sure if this will solve it though

Since it's very much possible that your laptop is thermal throttling

Maybe someone on the forum can help you with how to go about check / identify that
