heskilche Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hello ! I have recently started playing the game and i'm experiencing a horrible stutter. My system is about 6 months old not including the gpu which is from a week ago. Here are my specifications: Intel Core I5 8400. Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB. 8gb ram i dont know the speed. 2TB baracuda 7200rpm hdd No ssd Be quiet! SYSTEM POWER 9 500W And a Gigabyte Z370M DS3H I don't have any overclocks and i'm pushing out more than 60 fps on ultra 1080p. Why am i experiencing this stutter?

Rotorhead359 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 TL;DR Your HDD read/write speed is a massive bottleneck, install windows/pagefile on (small) SSD if you can afford it GTA V is very memory hungry and will happily take all your 8GB of ram for itself. When your computer runs out of available ram, it will write to virtual memory (pagefile) on the HDD. I'm guessing the stuttering happens because of the mechanical delay in the HDD. GTA V takes up over 65GB of disk space so I can imagine it also taxes the HDD a lot just when driving around and loading areas in general. It also doesn't help that your operating system, pagefile and the game itself are all on the same physical disk. To remedy the stuttering, close all background programs to give GTA V more ram so it doesn't have to swap to pagefile as much. Your system specs (cpu, mobo, gpu, psu) look well balanced, no issues there, apart from not having a SSD. You can install all games on regular HDD but if you can afford a small SSD just for Windows and the pagefile, your whole system will be a lot more responsive when the ram gets full.

Kangy3 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Also having this issue with a 1060. Came out of nowhere. I just built this PC 2 weeks ago with an i5 9600k. Game was running perfectly up until now. It's basically unplayable for me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have SSD? HDD? how much ram? which motherboard? power supply wattage? what temperatures do you get while gaming? (use msi afterburner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
