GTA V on High running at 7 FPS is a performance issue.
I operate at full capacity in 1080p and easily surpass the 3.3GB threshold you mentioned as essential for the 970. Fortunately, I’m running on a 4GB 770, which is typically paired in SLI; one unit is close to the PC after some raid card adjustments. Lowering game settings can help, and distance settings significantly affect VRAM consumption.
You're looking for information on where your VRAM consumption is occurring and which program is using it. If you're relying solely on GTAV's settings, they might not give an accurate picture. I've noticed no recent reports linking the 3.5 gigabit connection with the 970 to a significant drop in FPS. Typically, performance issues appear only after reaching higher VRAM thresholds, not earlier. A change from 60+ FPS at 3.2 gigabits to around 7 FPS at 3.3 suggests something beyond just memory usage. Consider using tools like MSI Afterburner to track GPU clock speeds, memory usage, and other metrics for more detailed insights.
I’m planning to invest around 70€ in a game released more than a year ago.
