Okay, to start i have read countless forums on here about this and tried everything, I'm sorry the topic has been done to death but im at a loss, so I'm asking for help. The problem is no matter what I do I can be holding 130fps on max settings and still get stuttering non stop, pc specs are as follows, ryzen 3700x, 64gb of 3600mhz ram, Rtx5700XT, Asus b550a board, corsair rm850 psu. Games being launched off a Corsair m.2 nvme. User benchmark says all of my equipment is running above expectations, all 3 categories are 100-120%. All of my drivers are up to date, windows has been reinstalled(one of the tips on here), game has free run over all 8 cores, ram usage overall in games is only 7-9gb. Gpu util is approx 20-40%, and could never exceeds 23%. I have tried all advised setting changes, both maxed and lowest, I have tried over clocking and under clocking and everything between, if I'm missing something please tell me, but I'm at a loss with this game.

Try these:
  • Disconnect from internet
  • Uninstall the driver using DDU (clean and do not restart)
  • Uninstall all the processors on device manager (should be 16 on yours) like this:

  • Restart the pc to bios, and update to the latest bios(download, extract the files and copy it to flashdrive, plug it on top rear usb slot, boot to bios and flash it)
  • boot up to windows and install the latest AMD Chipset driver, reboot, and connect to internet now.
  • Install the latest nvidia driver.
  • And check windows update (and optional updates) if there is any.
  • Open CMD, type defrag (drive letter where gta v installed) /d /u /v, and after it finished do defrag (same drive letter) /l /o /u /v, and exit.
*do this all offline until reboot after installing amd chipset driver, also you may reboot to bios after all of this to set the XMP (and manual tune the timing if you want), make sure your ram is on slot 2 and 4. Download needed files (highlighted word) before doing step 1, do the step by orders.
 
Solution
Stuttering is usually a drivers issue and new drivers sometimes have bugs so you may not always want the latest drivers. you want the drivers that actually work

You say you reinstall windows, so how did you do this explain your process. Because if You did not format the boot drive while installing windows then you didn’t really install windows clean

My only question is why the Nvidia driver?
 
Back to holding 130+ fps on max settings with no stutter, I knew my system was more than capable lol, but any potential upgrades you see i could use?
Ryzen 5 5600x, 7 5700g or 5800x. Just make sure if you want to replace the cpu, do the step again except updating bios and chipset driver (uninstall all processors, shutdown, and install new processor, lookup for windows update again).
 
I had a few nvidia gpus before and recently got an rx 6600xt. I’ve already learned that if amd drivers show up as optional, I think that means those drivers are essentially beta drivers. You probably want to stick to the recommended drivers (yes that’s what they call them). In fact I think in the amd software you can tell it to only download recommended driver updates.
