Hi Guys,

I have a tower equipped with:
4GB GTX 970
16 GB RAM
i7 - 4790K processor
running windows 10.

My computer has had no problems running extremely demanding games like Witcher 3 at Ultra settings. However, with GTA V I can never cross the 11.9 FPS mark right from the opening of the game (with the sirens and the police stars) and the menu. Even when I run the benchmark tests it caps at 11.9 FPS.

Right now I'm running it at DirectX 11 and this problem persists irrespective of resolution. Is this something to do with DRM and social club? I doubt its my computer.

I know GTA 5 is identifying my 970 as I can see the 4GB ram available. Its ironic as I've already played the game smoothly on a 4 year old laptop which had a GTX 670M. :(

Has anyone else face this problem? All my drivers are updated and the game is also optimized using NVIDIA control panel.

Thanks!

Yeah, afterburner shows that I'm not even using 5% of my dedicated VRAM. Also, I've tried the disabling NVIDIA sound fix and the disconnect controller solution, but none worked.
