[r9 270x] Low fps on GTA V.

[Hristo Mitev]

So here are my specs to start:

i7 930 @ 2.8Ghz
PowerColor TurboDuo r9 270x
8GB DDR3 1333
500W PSU

So basically i've tested on GTA and no matter what i do my FPS is very low on medium-ish settings. I've seen others with my card have similar issues on GTA only, however most people run the game nearly maxed out perfectly fine.

Other games run fine, it just seems that GTA has a bone to pick with me.

Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions

See http://www.gamersnexus.net/game-bench/1905-gta-v-pc-fps-benchmark-graphics-cards#

at 1080p using an i7 and high settings you should get an avg of 60fps

But your i7 is pretty weak - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html

Is your CPU running at 100%? If so then its bottlenecking your PC.

A CPU bottleneck is possible, I got a fair bit of stuttering and drops to 40 FPS or so in busier areas running my Core i5 760 at the stock speed of 2.8GHz. Overclocking to 3.5GHz helped a fair bit in keeping my framerate at 60 or above.

Make sure you don't have a web browser open in the background, apparently having any flash stuff open can cause issues with GTA V. If you don't have the latest Catalyst 15.4 driver, get it, as it has optimizations for GTA V.

No, it runs at 60-80. I overclocked to 4Ghz but it made no difference 🙁

What are your temperature, gpu cpu usage, etc also update to latest beta drivers that a is 15.4

You should be able to run it on high with that gpu + your cpu overclocked.


Install msi afterburner and check gpu/cpu temps while you game.

You are probably heat throttling.

I fixed it. It was MXAA. The second i turned it off i went to 60 and it was stable and butter smooth

"very low on medium-ish settings." has no AA on.

I had AA on with medium settings but now i turned it off and put the rest on high/very high and it runs smoothly. Don't understand why you have to try and be condescending on random shit lol.

I'm not. Its just that saying you were on low settings but really having AA on is misleading. Doesn't help to work out your problem.
