Help my GTA V frequently Lag/Stutter even though my PC already have the recommended requirements

[raihanazhar05]

So i just bought GTA V couple of days ago, and I thought that it would run smoothly on my laptop. My laptop spec is i7-8750, 8gb ram, GTX 1050Ti. But everytime I play the game it always suffer from lag and stuttering. I've already turn off Vsync and turn my settings to normal. And still laggy. Why? Is it because I still use HDD (7200 rpm) instead of SSD?

75fps is not "fine" for that kind of setup, you should be targetting 144


same for me, this update screwed the performance even more it seems, i was playing in a full lobby and getting 55fps on a 2070 super, ryzen 5 3600 and 32gb ram with an ssd

why do i want 144? i canot see it lol and im old i dont play in 4k or whatever 1080p is fine

you can absolutely see it, i play on a 1080p 144hz monitor and the difference between 60 is night and day

your always gonna drop frames in full lobbys too even with a superstar PC its a P2P game

you do not see 144hz science my friend

I will just keep playing over here @ 1080p and getting a smooth 75 fps on my monitor that only goes to 75 fps lol

first it was "the human eye can only see 24fps", then it was "you can't see 60fps" and now it's "you can't see 144fps" i don't know why people keep believing this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

i9 11900k, 3080, 16 gb of ram and I have the same problems.

Hello guys,

First of all, i play gta5 on a i9-10850k, RTX 3070, 32G Ram, SSD Nvme, 165 Htz 1440p monitor compatible gsync. I've met some problems with stuttering, missions not triggering, etc
But now its fine and works well.

@Raihanazhar05

8Gb of Ram is a bit low for this game on your laptop. If you check your task manager the game itself do not eat a lot of Ram but here is my thought when the game running and i monitor my RAM :
My GLOBAL Ram utilisation is approx 7,5 Gig and it grow after playing 1 hour more than 10 Gig (Win10+few underground programs+ steam+R*launcher+the game)
My advice is that you have to tweak your Virtual memory to reduce your stutter. Virtual Mem refers to the page file/swapfile i guess. Don't let windows manage the VM automatically. You'll find all you need to know on the internet but its just a 1/2 fix bro, as i say (and others) 8 Gig is the prob here.


For the others and OP (Nvidia users):

GtaV.exe Nvidia control Panel:
Check you have filter anisotrop controlled by appli (for the ♥♥♥♥♥ road aspect)
Put a fps cap to 180 max to secure, but the vsync do the job (according to some source 187 is the max the engine can handle to work properly). You can do other things on Global settings to maximize your perf.

Turn ON VSYNC (Vsync solves a lot of prob). Even if, like me you're on a gsync monitor, turn it on. (My gsync is ON btw and no conflict). If you think you have trouble with Vsync check your Nvidia control panel.

Play Fullscreen mode
Only FXAA (MSAA+TXAA = fps eater)
Grass --> Normal or lower (fps eater too)
For others graphical settings, make some test

Deasctivate the fullscreen mode optimization on these 3 files :
GTAV.exe
GTAVLauncher.exe
PlayGTAV.exe
(right clic - properties - compatibility, apply and ok)

I've found all these tweaks on the internet.
And sorry, english is not my native lang.
Hope it helps a little

See ya !

Alright bro, thank you for the tips. I'll let you know about the results on my gameplay, is it still stuttering or not. But I'll definitely not getting any additional RAM soon though, I still have to save money for a bit (u know broke college boi problems)

Okay so I've tried what you suggested, but sadly it doesn't really affect my gameplay. It still frequently stutters. But thanks anyway though for the tips

You can set your graphics HIGH. Sometimes games does this odd thing where it gets stutters in some areas while you have turned down the settings. Use DX11 only. Set shadows to soft or NVIDIAwhatchamacallit only. Turn off ambient occlusion. Turn down draw distance. Post fx to normal. Turn off anything in advanced graphics.

Unless it's a thermal issue, you can use you usual settings before your stuttering occured. Just clean your laptop a little bit. Get some fan or AC running, or just play somewhere where it's much cooler. Also no background apps running.

Sorry to hear that :/
Hope you'll find a solution

Theres a pattern in this thread, everyone complaining about game performance has an intel cpu. The one guy without problems has a ryzen cpu. Coincidence? I think not. Thats what u get for buying Intel, a stuttering gaming experience, hehe

It worked flawlessly for the longest time, I had performance settings and solid 60fps throughout the whole game (100 % story completion), but now these past 6 or so months the stuttering has become an issue, and I think it has to do with the online bloat but the only way to test it is to pirate an old GTA V copy and do a proper benchmark, which i'm not going to do.

I know this thread is from 2021. It is now Oct 2024 and I still have the stuttering issues on my high-end PC that runs everything else perfectly fine with high settings. Only GTA 5 stutters and it seems to be locked into 30 fps and lower no matter what settings or drivers I've tried. My current high-end specs (in relation to "GTA 5" that was released in 2015) are AMD Ryzen 9 3900x, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, all SSD or M.2 drives in the PC (GTA 5 on M.2), NVIDIA RTX 4070 12GB. Nothing but stutter city not only in the game, but the initial game menu too. However, my old PC (from 2013) with a 4th gen Intel i7-4770k, 16GB DDR3, 7200 rpm HDD (with GTA 5 installed on it), and NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti run GTA 5 at very-high/ultra settings at 60 fps+ with NO ISSUES. So my old-ass, 11 year old, PC runs this game better than a modern high-end system that can run circles around the old PC on all other games. And yes, I've capped the Max FPS (and the background app FPS) in the NVIDIA Control Panel to 144, 120, and even 60 fps, but they all have the same result since the game can't get above 30 fps anyway. So what is so wrong with RTX cards that the GTX cards did so well?
