Only between 1 and 6 frames per second on the RX 6700XT works for GTA V.
I attempted to restart into GTA V after several months but couldn’t play, and face challenges even choosing the menu. My system specs include an i7 10700KF with a Thermaltake TH240 A-RGB AIO CPU cooler, 32GB T-Force (2666Mhz), and PowerColour Hellhound 6700XT. I’ve run DDU, performed a fresh Windows install, yet the issue persists—main screens drop to around 60FPS and then to 6–7FPS, mostly between 1–2FPS. The fans aren’t spinning properly compared to Battlefield 2042, where I get 70–80 on Ultra settings, and the whole setup feels sluggish. I notice the GPU isn’t being used despite the DP cable being connected. It seems there might be an .ini file controlling the card’s usage, but I can’t locate it. Any advice? The Steam FPS counter and AMD GPU monitoring appear on the screen.
The issue seems unrelated to the cable itself. A faulty connection would likely prevent operation entirely or restrict frame rates significantly, but the maximum rate would be much higher. The motherboard can still supply up to 75w to the card even with damaged auxiliary power cables. I’m unsure if that’s sufficient for the display to function at a basic level. Right now I’m thinking about heat generation, processor load, and background processes.
I concur, it shouldn't influence anything since the game functions properly on BF2042 and within the OS. The cable comment was meant for those wondering if it's connected to the GPU, especially when they're unsure the CPU lacks onboard graphics support. Many forums I've checked so far have shared misleading port suggestions. Heat Levels: The GPU remains steady around 56 (min 48–58 max), while CPU temperatures hover in the mid to high 30s per core. CPU Workload: Clock speeds reach up to 4690Mhz across all 16 cores. Background Apps: No programs running, and CPU usage stays at just 2% before the game starts—then it launches Steam and Rockstar.
The 1-5 fps setting initially caught my attention. Without powering the cable on, it would display a black screen at 0fps. I focused on the percentage values but was curious about performance under load versus idle before the game starts. Idle times and percentages weren’t what mattered to me. A temperature of 30c seems normal for idle, but if it’s also during low load it suggests the CPU isn’t being fully utilized and stays close to 2%. The main concern is whether the CPU or GPU is throttling under low power conditions.
The temperatures rose when the game finished loading completely
It’s happening because of thermal throttling, a common issue with older BIOS setups. The 12700 chipset is different from earlier CPUs, which might explain the problem. This seems more related to AMD systems rather than GTA V specifically. If it affected many games, it would be noticeable.
It's just the 10700KF model, possibly Comet Lake rather than Alder Lake. The problem started after installing the new GPU (I used a 3060 before). This seems specific to GTA V—other games work fine at ultra or high settings.
I’m not sure how I came across the 12700kf amount. It seems like a random figure—maybe from another source or context. If this is just one game, it could indicate an installation issue.
It seems a bit confusing. I assumed that would function properly. This outcome is unusual. Software for graphics cards can often adjust settings for particular games. Could there be something configured there? Another possibility: is the counter actually correct? A frame rate of 1-5 fps is too slow to play smoothly. If the game runs, the counter might not be precise. Updated December 19, 2021 by Bombastinator
