GTAV Has Lag On Great PC

Recommended Posts

I have a GTX 970 with 4GB of ram. I thought that would be enough. I also have:

 

Intel Core i7 4770 @ 3.40GHz

12.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz

 

I get some frame rate drops, and sometimes even the game "stutters". Is there a solution to this?

What are you graphic settings at?

 

Try Nvidia Geforce 1 Click Optimal Settings

 

What ram do you have specifically?

 

Are you using Vsync?

Not sure what the RAM is, It came with the PC.

 

I have VSync on.

Alright post your graphics settings on here

 

And if possible send me the PC (link) you bought?

Until you can figure out everything, turn off Vsync.

 

Its an option that vast majority of people should not use, unless you are quite certain you can get above 60 fps pretty much all the time.

With vsync of, my fps is usually about 90-120.

If you are concerned about the fps being too high (whether it be temperature issue, or whatever), try nVIDIA Inspector and use a frame rate limiter there and lock it at 60 or 65hz.

 

It will help to minimize the sudden fps drop that vsync brings.

 

After you figure out whats exactly wrong, you can go back to vsync if you desire.

 

But my suggestion for most games is for you to not use vsync unless you really need to. Alternatively, invest in a G-Sync monitor.

The game's vSync is bugged. If you turn it off, frame drops will be even more noticeable. Try turning it off but using the option in the Nvidia control panel. You'll get your good FPS and also a good management.

TUrn off pagefile...

Srysly

W pagefile the game uses about 3-3,7gb ram the rest goes straight into pf - with pf turned off the game uses close to 7gb ram and is stutter free...

No do not do this.

Yes, the PF is creating an artificial bottleneck creating stutters and lag - w 12GB ram no need to run a PF - w 8GB ram no need to use it to run the game unless you have less than 7GB free ram when windows is running for some reason - below 8GB ram you may have to use PF

 

12GB RAM - turn it OFF! explanation in some other post here: http://gtaforums.com/topic/789072-available-ram-memory-question/

 

Your link about PF is worthless regarding the game in question here - it interferes with the core game streaming mechanics creating stutters everyone is complaining about - turn it off and all is well - had the same stutters until i turned Pf off - i have 8GB RAM - memory load goes up to 88-92% and thats w warping and driving from S to N to E to W and back - repeat - no stutters anymore, no crashes either - turn it OFF for the game if you have 8GB+ RAM

Following the other recommendations on this posts, I would definitely turn off in games vsync system and use Nvidia Control Panel Vsync instead

Also try optimizing your graphics settings through Geforce Expierence

Are you running an SSD? I'm using an SSD and mine plays smooth as hell, and my stats aren't as impressive as yours.

I have a similar set up. I put v-sync on. I would rather have a little less frames, than have screen tearing. I have v-sync enabled in Nvidia Control Panel.

I get 55 to 60 FPS, with a few lag spikes here and there, but those are not going away by adjusting the graphics. Self Radio causes a lot of lag spikes, but that isn't going away. I run the game just fine almost maxed out with a few frame eating, not so noticeable settings lowered. But when I first start the game, my frames are sh*t. They fluctuate between 30 and 45. This is after the patch before last. So to fix it, every time I start the game, I have to change my GFX settings, then change them back to get good frames. I usually turn on High Resolution Shadows, then turn them off, every time I start the game. I don't seem to have to do this on Five-M though.

R* and their team of programming monkeys ruined the game's performance with the latest patches

I've had page file turned off for over a week and no negative impacts, as the other guy stated it actually started to use more of your available ram. Also, even though I set the PF to off Windows still creates and uses a page file anyhow and the game also creates and PF. So if you're having problems with stuttering I would give it a try.

The hard drive he has is irrelevant when he has a GPU like that. The game should have no problem running on a normal HDD. I'm not saying that an SSD won't help. But really the only difference he'll notice is maybe faster load times. Not increases in FPS.

Stutters are there for everyone, not just you. And none of the patch fixed the issue yet. And Self-Radio stutter is still horrible. That feature is completely broken.

I found your problem. Try getting some RAM with at least 1333Mhz.

This.

 

As for page files, this is the equivalent to UNIX swap space: part of the disk is used as RAM typically when you are running out of RAM. There is usually no harm in this.

if you have an ssd as your boot drive you can disable the pagefile....and not refer to an article from 2009.... bad advice is asshole advice

Slave zero, you should sell some RAM to fund a better graphics card for your setup.

 

Like the GTX 970.

As I replied in your useless PM, I didn't refer to the article, someone else did.

 

Further, I said there's no harm in having a page file, it is equivalent to swap space on UNIX systems. I just wrote an operating system this past semester, so I know how that stuff works.

 

Next time, my advice would be to get your head out of your ass and research the subject more before calling other people an idiot. Dumbass.

I wrote operating systems before you were born, a pagefile on an ssd just eats up useful harddrive space..... dumbass.... but im not going to fight with you.... I own a computer company and make lots of money, so fighting with you is pointless.
