Fixed: GTA V freezing/lagging issues
I’m experiencing significant frame rate dips in Grand Theft Auto V; I can achieve over 80 frames per second on high settings, yet I consistently encounter stuttering and occasional drops to around 45 fps lasting up to ten seconds. Despite reducing graphics options, updating my drivers, and closing unnecessary applications via Task Manager, the issue persists. Based on research, I believe a shortage of RAM might be the root cause, as I currently have 8GB and frequently consume over 7GB within ten minutes of gameplay.
My system specifications are:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB
8GB RAM (two sticks)
1TB HDD
It’s possible the problem lies with my hard drive, as I've also read about this potential cause, and I'm hesitant to invest in additional RAM without a guarantee of improvement. Do you believe it’s primarily a memory-related issue?
Problems arising from mismatched RAM modules:
-locking up/failure to respond
-lagging
-Blue Screen of Death errors
-these issues may not manifest immediately
Therefore, if you persist in attempting to combine RAM randomly, testing for compatibility is crucial as soon as possible.
Ram presents a viable solution if performance dips at 7 during gameplay. It might also simply be due to slow data transfer rates when streaming new game content from the hard drive, or perhaps a combination of these factors. Installing the game on an SSD would mitigate this issue and significantly enhance load times.
I’m considering purchasing 8GB or more RAM modules because that’s what many people believe could be the issue. I don’t know if it’s actually relevant, but I checked HDD usage and reads with HWinfo, and nothing appears abnormal. It's a 7200 RPM drive anyway, shouldn’t that be sufficient (I’m not particularly knowledgeable about PC hardware).
Yes, im getting the same exact kit of RAM so i'll have 4 sticks on my mb running at 2666mhz. If that does not solve anything than def it is the HDD
The game Grand Theft Auto V frequently requires over 8 gigabytes of RAM, which may be contributing to the problem.
Utilizing processors featuring significantly greater peak performance on individual cores compared to multi-core boosts, it’s advisable to lock all cores to a consistent clock rate, even if that rate is modest; this can be accomplished through Windows settings within the advanced power options. Many games are notably sensitive to varying thread speeds. Furthermore, version 1903 of Windows is currently being distributed, and updates aren't visible in Task Manager – they may be running silently in the background, downloading and verifying files for installation.
This may not function properly and problems can arise, even when using identical sets. Purchasing a 2x8GB or 4x4GB kit offers the most reliable solution.
