You're just starting out with PC gaming. Your setup includes a Core i5 6600K, 8 GB RAM, and a GeForce GTX 960. The only recently upgraded part is the processor at 4.5 GHz. You installed GTA V yesterday and noticed it runs at 60 FPS but struggles with lag or stuttering. You checked the graphics settings and used up about 3 GB of VRAM, but your task manager shows no CPU usage. Here are some suggestions: consider lowering the game's graphical settings, closing background applications, or upgrading your GPU if possible. Also, ensure your system meets the game's minimum requirements and monitor performance closely.
Have you checked your RAM and page file activity? Does it slow down consistently or intermittently? Are there moments when performance drops only after extended use or specific tasks? Does the issue appear at certain times, like during gaming sessions? Is the problem limited to Story Mode or only online?
Get the GeForce Experience from Nvidia and have it adjust the settings automatically. It may not be flawless, but it can sometimes spot a few tweaks we usually miss and works well as a basic starting point, particularly when a game isn’t running smoothly.
