Quick GTA 5 Questions
Check your game version by looking at the installation files or using a tool that lists installed games. Since you mentioned adding it manually, it should appear without issues. To add it to Steam, follow the official Steam instructions—this will show it correctly. Regarding frame rate drops, CPU bottlenecks and hard drive health can affect performance; a solid drive helps but isn’t the only factor. GeForce experiences vary, so your setup seems capable for decent performance given your specs.
The pause menu should display the game version, allowing installation on the disk. Updates will occur automatically when you start the game.
3. No issues expected.
4. Shortcuts in Steam can launch the game, but achievements, screenshot library, and other features won’t be available.
A button labeled "Add a game to library" is present in the library section of Steam.
5. Hard drives affect loading times, not overall game performance.

The system doesn't have the newest updates. When you begin the game, it displays the version at the bottom right corner. There are no issues with manually adding it to the Nvidia control panel for non-Steam titles. As a standalone game, yes. Otherwise, hard drives tend to be slower than SSDs, leading to longer load times and potential texture pop-in. I’d use GeForce Experience to set baseline settings, then adjust them as needed. You can check your game version in several places: the first string (393.2) represents the build version, the second (1.0.6.1) is the GTAV Launcher version, and the first number (393.2) is the GTA Online version. The GTA Online version link is http://i.imgur.com/eigqWtO.png. You can only reach this setting while playing GTA Online.
Make sure you have the most recent version available. That’s perfectly fine. 3 Yes, add a non-steam game to your collection. 4 You notice more pop-in when the drive speed is lower, and loading times tend to increase. 5 It’s always wise to adjust settings yourself; it works well (for example, you might want higher AA instead of longer render distance). 100% usage is acceptable and it uses around 6GB of RAM—no need to worry.
