K.Walters Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I just noticed that it uses 8 Gb RAM even on lowest settings. No way. I don`t believe that. My brother has 4 and he runs the game fine. I have 8 and I have problems. No way 8Gb RAM isn`t enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWC Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 There is definitely a memory leak somewhere in the game, i have been playing around this all day long, when i start the game on very high 1080p i get a stable 60 sometimes dropping to 55 (cpu usage around 70% at most), then i went on a mission and noticed suttering, after i finished the mission i ran the benchmark again and this time i barely got 30 sometimes dropping to 20-25(cpu usage spiking 90%-100%), now the funny thing is after this benchmark finished and the game loaded up again, i noticed the stuttering was gone, not sure if i was imagining things i ran the benchmark again and it was again normal with a stable 60 and normal cpu usage (all of this was with the launcher at low priority and gtav at high), i exited the game at this point out of frustration so i didnt get to test more but there is definitely something going on here.

K.Walters Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Oh forgot to mention that the stuttering and missing textures appear when entering a new area. So if I drive around in the same area it`s fine. Once I drive few blocks away I get stuttering and missing textures, roads and in general chunks of map. Once I go back to the starting area it`s fine, when I leave chunks of map start to disappear. My guess that the memory leak has to do with that. I think it saves all the areas you`ve been in the RAM and doesn`t remove them when you are far enough from them. In simple words, everywhere you`ve been it saves. So if you drive around all of the map with stuttering then it gets worse, because it saves everywhere you`ve been in the RAM and doesn`t let it go. I think that could be the issue. I could be wrong, because I`m not an expert when it comes to these kind of problems. This is just my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiscuitTheCat59 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I seemed to have fixed my stuttering, possibly for now. I've play for a good 30min and the stuttering had gone . I will try play more later. What I did: - Added the launcher to Nvidia control panel then set the v-sync to adaptive (Half refresh rate) - Add the main game to Nvidia control panel and set v-sync to on and triple buffering on - Turned v-sync off in-game This seems to have fixed the stuttering, but as a lot of people are getting crashes after messing with the launcher I will have to play a bit more to see if it can last over a long play session. I am just about to leave for work, so I will test more later. Don't follow these steps if you feel it may harm your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laqueesha Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) After upgrade from 8 to 16GB of ram stuttering is gone. Now while I playing on pretty much very high settings windows 7+gta5 using aroung 8.2GB. Interesting. I might consider getting more RAM then to see if it'll help. Can't hurt, I guess.

YG. Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 8GB of ram is a bit too low. Buy 16GB at least. 8GB is plenty. Hell, it's the recommended amount. The ram isn't the issue here. 8GB WAS plenty, 3 years ago. You stupid. damianpara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me or does nvidia control panel use the same profile for GTA5.exe and GTAVLauncher.exe? It changes the settings instant ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMostKnowledgable Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Try these things, they improved mine: I had FXAA and MSAAx2 and TXAA. It was jaggy cause FXAA is sh*tty and so is TXAA. I turned off FXAA, and TXAA, and then I got so much performance back, I could use MSAAx4+MFAA in nvidia panel boosted that up, too. Next, I disabled AO, it looks like sh*t anyway and seems to eat performance a lot. I do not miss it. My grass is now ultra.

Daynja Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) To the players getting stuttering, are you running the game with TESS on or off? Are you running the game to bypass the game menu and go straight into story/online mode? My experience On the 13th/14th launch day I ran settings on the limit of my GPU memory indicator. GTX 680 2GB card here. FXAA on MSAA off, all main visual settings on max, and lowered the population variance to lowest as it ate GPU memory according to the little indicator bar or anything that took it over, i reduced to standard, like shadows to sharp not smooth so that i could run max textures and post fx etc. In GFX advanced I tried with max but it ran like crap so that ended up staying off. So i was around 20xxmb of 24xxmb usage according to the little bar indicator. I was stunned how amazing the game ran with settings above the recommended. It wasn't until Wednesday 14th evening time, that BEX64 CTD started and of course stuttering and after many reboots it just got worse. I started to notice that the game hung if the (escape key)menu was opened, or the club launcher (home key) but wasn't aware what was the cause and why. If i played around with GFX settings nothing seemed to matter after the game rebooted from GFX changes or crashes. I did a whole new install yesterday (deleted game and profile/save files in c\documents) .Im back at the point i was in story mode and have settings like i had before, however there are two differences from last time. When i started to get crashes on the first install I changed the game boot sequence to by pass the main menu and go straight into story mode,I am back to default boot method now plus I have Tessellation off. I am not getting stuttering, and im back to many hours in. I may just be lucky. I may of had a crap install of RSC (which i think is causing our problems). The game is fine and i hope it stays that way. I have noticed one thing. RSC launcher takes a little longer to log me in, compared to the first install. I remember it was very quick the first time round. It flashed up my log in name and then the game started to boot. This time its slightly longer. It may be nothing, im just trying to explain my experience. Im no tech expert,as you can probably tell Edited April 16, 2015 by Daynja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trash_Ok Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 HOLY sh*t !!! Thank you guys so much for that DxTory tip, it's like playing a totaly different game on a totaly different PC !!! Game runs buttery smooth, it's just beautiful right now, not a single drop while driving a car or anything else like intense scenes and shooting. Lag is completely eliminated for me I've been playing for more than an hour now. I could even crank up the settings a little bit - from High Textures to very High, Reflections from High to Very High, Grass from Normal to Very High + some shadow tweaks to make it beter. And the most suprising thing is - I have a freakin laptop. A LAPTOP and the game runs on stable 45 FPS on those settings, I can even set Tesselation to High with 0 performance loss, but I didn't really notice a difference in the graphics. Getting 50-57 fps outside the city and on the beach for example. Specs:GTX 765M 2GB8GB RAM i7 4700 MQ 3,2 Ghz Game is on SSDIt's running f*cking briliant now, it's the god damn launcher screwing it up !Thank you again for the tip !

liniuxs Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Also notice weird thing. Lets say then I get out of Franklin house to the street getting around 30fps, then I minimize game and come back I get almost double of that.

K.Walters Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Ok so I think I found a fix for my problem, missing textures, popins and chunks of map not showing which were displayed in a video I posted here earlier. What I did was I closed chrome, skype and other stuff that used some resources. Ran the game and in Task Manager I set the priority to high and did NOT close the GTA5launcher. I`ve been playing for 30 minutes driving around at high speeds around the map, mostly city and I did not get a single stutter, blurred texture. Though there were some popins but that could be caused by putting settings too low. I had them on the very minimum while testing. The game ran smooth as butter. It was running on HDD, I put it back there, because I didn`t like having only 5Gb free on my main SSD. And while playing the game used 4-6,5 Gb of RAM. I`m going to do some more testing on optimal settings. Gonna play for about an hour or something so see how it goes. If it works, I`ll confirm it. EDIT: Okay, so this fixed it for about an hour or two. Now I`m back to the start. Edited April 16, 2015 by WalterS_LV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laqueesha Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I find that if you fiddle with the graphics settings so that the utilized VRAM is within your GPU's VRAM range, you'll eliminate most of the stuttering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvooo Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I have stuttering problems to. And my frames arent stable. Even on normal settings, which are minimum, I gues. Is my pc or what? I didnt expect to run on very high, but, to be a crap like that...no. MSAA are off, Tesselation off. cpu: intel C2Q 2,5Ghz (4 cores) gpu: gigabyte R9 270X-OC 2GB ram: 2 x 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz power: 600W monitor: LG IPS, 60Hz All my temperatures are ok, max 60c. My pc is clean, no applications in background. So i really dont know why runs so bad. Any idea? Maybe cpu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeStoneZ Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) I have GTX 970, 8 GB RAM and i7 4790k My settings are everything on the highest, 1080p + MSAA x2 and the framerates are good, but the game often stutters for no reason and it's annoying as f*ck. Even the sound stutters The best thing is sometimes when I turn the game on it stutters, but sometimes it doesn't (i.e the framerate visibly drops but no stuttering). Video memory usage ingame is 3485 MB. Anyone have it the same? I wonder if it's because of 970's 3.5GB of RAM, or because R* f*cked up the optimization? I have the same specs,and having the same problem I have tried using the Optimal option from Nvidia, but get the same stuttering problem The game is running in 60 - 90 Fps Edit: Can it be because there is a CPU usage issue at the moment, that is making the stuttering. When i opened my task manager, it's really high Edited April 16, 2015 by BlazeStoneZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
