Hello guys. I've been experiencing some issues with GTA V on my PC. The game runs fine, reaching even 100+ fps in some places but sometimes it freezes and stutters for like a second or so every once in a while. Today the game even crashed when I was driving around the city and hit a car. I've tried to look for solutions around the web but none that I've tried really worked. This problem only happens in GTA, every other game I play runs smoothly without any problem.

These are my specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i5 4690k @ 3.5GHz
• GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 WindForce OC 6GB
• RAM: 8GB
• Motherboard: ASUS H81-Gamer
• OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
• HDD: 1T

I shouldn't have issues running it right? Let me know if you have any solution.

Thanks!
 
Well as I said, both your HDD and CPU are hitting 100% usage and when that happens it bottlenecks the card. CPU usage shouldnt ever really be over 85% for a well balanced system.

And you should check the ASUS software you have installed, because there's no obvious reason for that overclock.
