Your GTA5 is experiencing significant performance issues.
Your GTA5 is experiencing significant performance issues.
the game remains stuck at frame 160 then suddenly pauses for about 10 frames every minute. adjusting settings and enabling/disabling vsync hasn't resolved the issue. let me know if you need further help.
The HDD performance is the main issue, especially when games freeze. Data transfer speeds are significantly slower compared to SSDs, and M.2 drives perform even better than SATA-connected SSDs. The problem often occurs in two ways: first, textures can't load quickly enough for the game, and second, when RAM runs low, the game starts using swap space on the HDD, causing stutters.
Your ideas are spot on. If it's available on Steam, switching to SSD is straightforward. Make sure everything stays consistent, then let's discuss further.
I transferred it to an SSD and limited the FPS to 120, no stuttering observed. Thanks for the assistance—hope it continues like this.
