Is GTA V running smoothly on a powerful PC despite low frame rates?
Is GTA V running smoothly on a powerful PC despite low frame rates?
I have a machine that well exceeds the recommended requirements for playing in 1080p
RX5700 XT
I5 10400F
2x8 3000Mhz HyperX CL15
For some reason, i get on average like 40-60 fps, sometimes even below 40. Lowest i've gotten is 25.
When im inside buildings i usually get 60 fps clean, but when im in open world it drops significantly.
The graphics settings are on max, But the quality doesn't make a difference. I've tried lowering the graphics to normal and even changing the resolution to 800x600, but no difference in fps.
My friend, who has almost the same specs as me (Same gpu and cpu) gets above 100 fps. In a youtube video i've seem a guy do a benchmark with my exact same specs, and he got like 140 fps on average.
Hardware is definitely not the problem, i've checked my HDD with HDDScan, and its fine.
Other games i have no problem running. Only game i've experienced this is GTA.
I tried reinstalling the game and it didn't help, i tried some fps boosting methods from youtube, configured my amd settings, checked for latest driver updates, but nothing changed.
Maybe its glitch with the fullscreen? because once i pressed alt+enter and suddenly i got like 100 fps, but it doesn't work for me no more.
I am very confused and help will be appreciated.
cpu/gpu temperatures and usage while playing? ram/ssd activity? latest motherboard firmware? are you installing a new build or upgrading? fresh os installation?
It's a brand new build, purchased recently. I replaced all components except the 120gb SSD. It's an older SSD, having been in use for about five years. However, I don't believe it's the issue because the game runs on the HDD. It's a new Seagate Barracuda 2TB drive. The operating system is around 2-3 months old. I'm certain I installed the drivers for the BIOS after setting up Windows. I'll share a video link with an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXC-mqzC-pg. (Note: The FPS counter shown is accurate; AMD sometimes displays double the actual frames.) Sorry for the low quality from my phone, I just couldn't get OBS to capture the AMD overlay. Usage seems normal, indicating my PC is fully capable, yet I still experience such poor performance.
