GTA V lags after some minutes of playing

[Sunehildeep]

Hi there, after playing some minutes gta v starts lagging/short freezes, I meet the minimum requirements too and temp. also never go high. I've my all cpu cores unparked.
Here are my specs. And I just bought this pc 4 days ago.
Intel i3 540 @3.07 ghz
Nvidia GT 610 3gb
4gb ddr3 @1600 each

most probably your ram.GTA V needs at least 8 gigs ram.

honestly the GT 610 3GB is a pretty weak GPU and if your running 4GB of DDR3 that could be compounding the issue. honestly 8GB is the bare minimum ram I would run for GTA V. However, being you just got this PC it is possible you got a bad/defective part. By the age of the parts I do have to ask if this is new or used? Regardless the fact it starts to lag ad freeze a few minutes into game play and it doesn't start there makes me suspect the mother board or PSU as being faulty. As they heat up things go south for your frame rate. While your system is not the best and I would not expect a great frame rate to begin with I would expect it to at least be stable. Have you tested it on the lowest settings and resolution? Also check your ram usage while playing. If maxed out or close to 100% that is the issue most likely.

I found that when it runs smoothly the disk usage is normal and when it lags and at that time the disk usage jumps in the graph.

Are there any system processes that are hogging disk usage?

GTA 5 is a beast on components if turned up beyond your system's capabilities. I have a pair of Titan X (Maxwell) and I can turn up the settings too high to comfortably play and your system is pretty weak. I'd suggest turning down all video settings to their bare minimums and see how it works then. Basically if it is an eye candy option that can be turned off do it or if it cannot be turned off set to lowest settings possible.

Grass and Advanced Graphical settings to low / off are the things i've found to work.

Do you have any specific tips? Ive been having issues too but on a 1070 / i5-4690k

My settings and resolution all are at lowest. The fps is great but I get small freezes within that smooth fps. This is the problem.

Please read what i already said, which processes are causing high disk usage?

 

[Sunehildeep]

EDIT: It's GTA V and csrss.exe. When the lag comes, fps starts jumping from high to low. Like when it was smooth at 30. When lag comes then it jumps like this... 30-35-33-30, It won't stay at 30 like before.

Hrm actually I have to back my statement about my own system up. When I had to tweak things I was running a i7-2700K OCed a bit but I hadn't messed with GTA5 in a bit since I moved up to the i7-6700K OCed and a fresh install of Win 7 and of course newer drivers for SLI and I decided to test to see if I could give any pointers but I maxxed out settings and even on the 21:9 it is running smooth now.

If happening at the same time as HDD usage its most likely a lack of RAM. It's probably caching to the HDD as its run out of RAM.

 

[Sunehildeep]

So an additional 2gb will help it out?

 

[Sunehildeep]

I found one more thing. The CPU Usage starts jumping from 20-50-30-20-70-90-20 Like that, when stutter occurs. And CPU never goes above 40 temp.

I literally just built my Ryzen system this past weekend and I've had a similar problem... after 5 min or so of gameplay mine would freeze for about a full min or so and then resume. This took me a few days to iron out how to fix it, but I've since recorded 3 videos up to 20 min long without any freezes so I think it's pretty safe to report my findings.

Example the game of freezing at 1:29 in this video:

[video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g3BkDZMta4"][/video]

Open NVIDIA Control Panel (right-click mouse on Desktop to select it) and then within "Global Settings," make sure these changes are applied:
• CUDA - GPUs set to "All"
• Maximum pre-rendered frames, set to "4"
• Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration set to "Single display performance mode"
• Power management mode set to "Prefer Maximum Performance"
• Threaded optimization set to "On"
• In the left panel under Configure Surround PhysX, specifically set it to your current GPU

And here is what could possibly be the most important thing to do: Place Grand Theft Auto V game folder and files on the same drive as Rockstar Social Club! For me, it is on my 250GB Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe SSD which is superfast and what I think ultimately stopped the freezing altogether.

My computer components:
AMD RYZEN 7 1700 8-Core overclocked to 3.8GHz @ 1.35V
GIGABYTE AORUS GA-AX370-Gaming K7 mobo
SAMSUNG 960 EVO M.2 250GB NVMe PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G3 PSU
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition

yeah All of you peoople who are saying u have low ram! I have GT 750 its better than the minumem card so i have 8 gb ram i thought because of the ram i couldnt run gta v so i updated it to 16 still lags. I saw that if i download it first it doesnt lags the first 2 days but after it starts lagging. rockstar issue
