GTA V Lag Issues

[AntmanHD]

So I have a very good computer, run around 300-400fps in CS:GO and I've always been able to run any game max settings at 60fps.

When I play GTA V though, my PC goes nuts. The lag usually begins when I am driving a car fast.

I lowered all of my settings to the lowest possible, and the problem gets no better, it looks exactly the same

I opened my task manager today to see what my performance looked like. I was getting a normal CPU usage of 10-20% while not playing and a Memory usage of a straight 2.36GB. I launched GTA V and started driving to see my CPU usage shoot up to 95%-99% and my Memory to around 6.5-7GB. I have no idea why this happens, does anyone have a solution to this?

Your specs are good. GTA5 will tend to use up a lot of your resources. Follow up on these suggestions one at a time until you notice a difference.

 

Uninstall the GeForce Experience.

Uninstall Nvidia HDAudio.

Close the Steam overlay.

Close your browser.

The next time you update your video driver, only install the driver.

My suggestion:

 

- Try to delete settings.xml which located in my documents/rockstar games/gta v

- Sett Texture Quality to High

- Makes sure your driver is up to date

- Open Nvidia Control Panel, and sett the gtav.exe with some options: 1. Preferable maximum performance, 2. Triple Buffering ON

- Make sure your GTA V version is up to date
