I've read a lot of posts about this, but none have helped me so far. I've had this problem before, but couldn't figure out why it's doing so. It fixed itself a few weeks ago, but as of 2 days, its back. Basically whenever I play I get these intervals of 5-30 mins where everything runs perfect and then it drops to 10-20 fps for lets say 20 seconds. At first my PC had 8GB ram, i got 16GB, didnt fix it. Then I added an SSD and put the games there, also didnt fix it. I tried downgrading graphics as per a few forum posts, nothing changed. Over the years I learned that graphic options do not matter, even on the lowest possible settings, incl. resolution it still happens. Lately I've been thinking that its because of some driver/windows update that has happened some time this month, since the game did fix itself before that. These frame drops are really putting me off the game and they happen anywhere at any time, it doesn't matter if im driving, flying or sitting in a house. I've noticed along with these drops, that they also happen in DOTA 2, which lead me to think steam (GTA is also there) has something to do with it. In any case, I got no idea and prefer to not OC components
