Hello to everyone

As you read gta 5 is stuttering for me after like 30min of playing, and its not the hdd or the ram, both are constantly at 80%(ram) and like 50%(hdd). The cpu isnt eaither (40-80%) and i think its the gpu...
My specs: pentium g4600
intel hd630 ( i know its weak but all benchmarks on youtube show 30+ fps all the time)
8gb ram 2400mhz
WD blue 1tb 7200rpm

And its not just some vsync problem, frames drop to 5 or it even freezes for like 5seconds even...and i tried with vsync on and it doesnt change a thing. This stutter happens mostly when im driving.

ill be getting a new gpu soon (probably an rx460 or 1050) but until then is there something i can do?

Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance
 
its most likely the poor integrated GPU. And don't follow Youtube videos for proof of a GPU's capability. They are videos after all.

Because you have an integrated GPU, the GPU there fore uses your system ram. With only 8gb, your system ram has to start swapping to the HD. Hence the massive slow down's and freezes. You could try add in another 8gb, at least that would alleviate part of the problem. The other part of the problem being the iGPU. A discrete card would obviously get better results.
 


My cpu temps are 50 degrees celsium on when playing gta and around 30 when im just browsing or watching youtube videos, so its not that :/
 

As i said when i play gta5 it only uses a total of 80% of total ram, 3-6gb per game. And i dont think that system ram starts swapping to the hdd since its constantly at 50% and less usage
 


The iGPU is using somewhere between 400mb - 1gb when playing gta5...checked using msi afterburner
