Online play in GTA 5 often has lower FPS than offline sessions.
Hey! I just got a 144 Hz screen and wanted to try high frame rates in GTA 5. In story mode it works smoothly at 110-125 fps, but online it drops to 55-70. I've installed the latent GPU driver, disabled background apps, and turned off audio sampling. I've already contacted support, but they gave me a similar response. My specs are: i5 6500, DDR4 2133 MHz, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1060 overclocked, 500W power supply, 250 GB NVMe SSD, B150m-plus Asus motherboard.
As before mentioned, multiplayer and online sessions involve more activity than single-player or campaign settings. Your CPU handles not just regular game data but also the online data stream. With a GTX 1060 and a 144Hz display, you're likely using 1080p, making CPU performance equally crucial as graphics power.
You do have some CPU upgrade possibilities available (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B150M-...pDesk_CPU/).
The recommended settings are:
-- You can install an i7-6700 without changes (slightly better per core, twice the threads), which should improve online performance
-- If you upgrade your BIOS to version 3016
first...
Hi, I've had some experience with GTA V and understand things about game performance through building PCs and playing games. Generally, online games need more power from your processor and sometimes RAM because they rely on constant updates and real-time interaction with other players. Your system usually has to handle not just the game environment but also live players at the same time. Try playing in an area with no other players or very few, then switch to a different server—leaving and rejoining should help. Or attempt to go back to the same spot during busy times to check if frame rate drops occur. Also, more activity on your screen can lower FPS since the computer has to manage more tasks at once, so things like people shooting or driving cars might cause noticeable drops.
The story mode features pre-recorded animations and scenes that are fully optimized, displaying only what's necessary for the scene. In actual gameplay, there are additional elements like background details you wouldn't see in a cutscene. This is why story sequences have more frames. GTA demands significant CPU power, especially on a 6500 processor, so you may find many useful comparisons online to determine the best performance upgrade if you're considering an upgrade. Otherwise, simply reduce the settings and see if the game runs smoothly.

Fortunately, there are some CPU upgrade possibilities available (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B150M-...pDesk_CPU/). The recommended options include:
-- You can install an i7-6700 as it is (slightly better per core and twice the threads), which may improve online performance.
-- If you upgrade your BIOS to version 3016,
first, you could even use an i7-7700 (more powerful than the 6700).
-- Avoid the "K" models. Although they offer higher base speeds, their main goal is overclocking—your motherboard can't do that. Also, they usually lack built-in coolers, requiring an additional $30–50 to purchase a cooler.
I concur with spdragoo, both of these processors should perform quite well
So in about a year I'm planning to buy a 7700 or 6700. But isn't there a significant difference between 7700 and 6700 to 7700k and 6700k? Since they seem to have higher top speeds?
I'm planning to get a 7700 or 6700 around next year. But isn't there a significant difference between 7700 and 6700 to 7700k and 6700k? Especially regarding their higher clock speeds? Not really. Even though the CPU speeds on these models can be higher, they generate more heat and need better cooling solutions as well as a reliable power supply to run them without overheating. In most situations, a 7700 and 6700 should perform very well, without needing unlocked versions. The unlocked ones would also require a new motherboard, which would only increase your costs.
