Hi,
I've been playing GTA V (FiveM) on very high settings, consistently getting around 140 FPS at 1440p resolution. My CPU usage hovers around 20%, while the GPU runs at 99%, which, from my research, seems normal and even desirable. I've been playing without any issues for about two weeks.
However, yesterday while playing, I noticed a problem. While my CPU usage has increased slightly to around 25-30%, the GPU, which usually stays at 99%, now fluctuates significantly—dropping to 65% or even as low as 10% before spiking back to 99% within 2-3 seconds. This is causing massive FPS drops and noticeable lag.
I've checked all my drivers, performed RAM diagnostics, and stress-tested the system without finding any issues. I'm concerned this might indicate an impending GPU failure.
For context, I'm running 7GB/12GB video settings, so I'm not maxing out my resources.
Specs:
I've run OCCT, with CPU temps at 55.2°C and GPU at 50°C. Benchmarking with Heaven at 2560x1440, Full Screen Ultra, I got 179 FPS.
Do you think this is a sign of a failing GPU, or could there be another underlying issue?
Thanks for your help.
