GTA 5 lagging on msi GTX 1070 and on I7 6700K

[TD-12]

Hello, I recently built my new gaming computer and I was surprised that I can't play GTA 5 on highest without fps drop and lagging. I get about 60-70 fps when I'm just city driving however if I go off road or I'm shooting at something fps drops to 28-40 fps and becomes lagy. Disabling options in Advanced graphic settings helps but it still lags. Overclocking graphics card only improves the gameplay by about 5 FPS. I was told by guys in this forum that even GTX 1070 would be an overkill for my 1080P monitor. Could there be something wrong with my hardware or this card is not powerful enough to RUN this game on highest settings while maintaining 60FPS?
Here's my full hardware details:

PSU: GOLD 750W Semi Modular EVGA ECO Mode Power Supply

MOBO: MSI Z170-A PRO LGA 1151 Intel Z170 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

SSD: Intel SSD 600p Series (512GB, M.2 2280 80mm NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4, 3D1, TLC)

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300)

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz

VIDEO CARD: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 DirectX 12 GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5

Please, any help or guess is greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you!!!

based on what your saying of recently built, have you updated any of your drivers yet? Try downloading the 1070 driver off the Nvidia website here:
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/111830/en-us This is the windows 10 64 bit version, hopefully it helps

I did install all latest drivers for motherboard and GPU. It seems I was expecting too much from this GPU ;(
Thanks for the reply!

How are your temperatures? I recently built my friend a i5 6500 + gtx 1070 gaming pc and he runs gta 5 at max everything with some advanced graphics turned on at 1080p 60 fps stable. You should easily get way more than 40.

I get about 50C on CPU and 55C on GPU. GPU load is at 99% when gaming. I have 212 EVO Cooler for CPU with two fans and it's great.

Thanks! 😀

Do you have some sort of extra AA turned on? Or the amd shadows? It's so wierd that you are having low fps. Btw you don't need 8x msaa turned on so if you have try 2x.

This is actually a pretty good point. Try lowering some settings you think you don't need and test it. I don't know if GTA V has it but PhysX eats alot of performance. Try disabling that if that is enabled

The only thing gta 5 has specific to nvidia is some form of AA.

its not the gpu less yours is not working right. I play gta V on a msi gaming X 1070 on a 1440p monitor without lag

try to do a clean install use http://www.guru3d.com/content_page/guru3d_driver_sweeper.html to remove all old drivers and use the newest one from NVidia

is your bios updated ?

 

[TD-12]

I will definitely try lowering some settings and reinstalling the driver. I'm not sure about updating the bios since I don't have much experience in that area. I will also try installing watch dogs 2 and see how it goes. Hopefully this problem is only with GTA 5 otherwise I'm not sure what I'll do next.
Thank you for all your help guys!

I just updated my motherboard bios and video card bios. Tried switching RAM sticks and reinstalling driver without any luck. It turns out I have problem with low FPS not only in GTA but in all other games, like Planetside 2. Turning off ECO option on PSU and Overclocking both CPU and GPU does nothing. Could it be my MOBO? I couldn't find any similar problems with that mobo online.

Not sure if you figured this out yet as this post is old but log on to the Xbox app and disable game DVR. Did the trick for me.
