Grand Theft Auto 5 Annoying lag spikes while driving.

[anthonyorm]

Whenever I start to drive, It has these little tiny lag spikes every second or less and it pretty much ruins the game for me, I tried messing with the settings & nvidia control panel and it did nothing.

You have a pretty weak system to run GTA V. I dont remember the exact specs, but im sure you are at or below the minimum requirements for it. Expect to play at all low settings and you will still lag.

The only thing under spec is the cpu by 0.1 ghz. It runs normally at 40-50 fps at normal settings. It also happens on my brothers pc which has an i5 and a gtx 780.

Have you tried lower settings/messing with settings?

Yeah, It still did nothing. It might have something to do with my processor but I might build a new PC soon

One thing to try is running in Windowed mode, see if that helps.

Good luck on your new PC!

Tried with VSync on/off?


And maybe try turning everything as low as it can possibly go just to see if it keeps doing it?

Is it when you drive period or when you get up to a certain speed? My friends laptop will lag because the game can't load the world as fast as he's driving.

Does it do it if you get on the train that goes around the map?

Have you tried restarting your computer, or blowing it out with canned air?

My guess is that your PC just isn't fit to run it. 1gig gpu memory isn't much for GTA.

Also, I assume your gpu driver is up to date and have tried lowering the resolution?

My brother has the same issue with the GTX 780, Also, I tried updating the driver and lowering the resolution, it did nothing. Ill try to contact Rockstar then give up until I get a new PC.

Assume you've tried googling it?

Here's one thread on Steam forums: https://steamcommunity.com/app/271590/discussions/0/611704730316708077/#p2

Also verify integrity of game cache if you haven't, just to try.
