GTA 5 Stuttering/Graphical/Low FPS Issue

[PrinceofPinoys]

Someone Please Help!

I have the worse issue with the game and am completely puzzled in how to fix it. My Rig is nearly a year old so I am highly confused.

Within GTA 5 I have constant stuttering/game freezing up for about 1-3 seconds (making the game unplayable)
Loss of graphic textures
and a low frame rate, 20-30 fps even on the lowest Graphical Settings.

My system.
OS: Windows 10
CPU: i7-4790 3.60ghz
RAM: 24 GB Corsair Vengence DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK (rev. 1.0) LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GC: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 4GB G1 GAMING OC EDITION
PS: EVGA SuperNOVA GS 220-GS-0650-V1 80 PLUS GOLD 650 W
SSD (OS is on this drive): SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 120GB SATA III 3-D
2x HDD: WD Black 500GB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch (One of these drives have my games on it)



What I have tried;
Running as administrator
Setting High Priority
Setting Realtime Priority
Lowering Game Settings
High Power Mode
Adjusting NVIDIA Settings (Single Display, Max Performance, etc...)
Reinstalling Graphical Drivers
Alt Tabbing In and Out
Adjusting PageFile Location
Adjusting Page File/Virtual Memory Size
Running as Windows 7
Running on DX 10.1
Running on DX 10
Virus Scans/Cleans

From monitoring the game via MSI Afterburner you can tell when the Game Stutters/Freezes from the GPU&CPU usage % Dropping

So if anyone has any ideas or have had the same experience please halp....I paid good money for this game and it is too late to get a refund for it now....

lets slow down...there is no magic...we have to figure this out together...lets do it in this order and see if it helps...

> download display driver uninstaller from guru3d...run it and uninstall all current drivers...
> power off the system and reset the cmos battery and jumper settings to reset the board...
> clean the system, specially the card for any dust accumulation...check for maximum fan spin leverage...
> power on the system and update the bios to the latest one, but before that, keep a copy of the older bios, in case the new one doesnt work...
> now go to the nvidia website and download the latest drivers for the card and install them...
> along with that u should update ur...vcredist, c++ redistributable, directx, and .net framework...
> now run a stress test with 3dmark and unigine...check for fps consistency...

let us know wat happns...

Another way if u play this game threw steam interface validate game intergrity in the properties tab sometimes the files downloaded corrupts in certain orders which can mess with display drivers i have found it with certain games if u play on steam account. But verify ur game data files if u play threw diffrent accounts.To me sounds like a dud driver or could be a wrong driver or unlucky chips could been a dud in the silicon lottery of to date. The other thing could be in ur bios check in your bios setting that everything is working in harmony might be a bios setting overlooked or never thought of sometimes something u havnt thougt of is the easiest u can check ur hardware while ur there
