Problems with fps in gta online

[Leo]

I have a machine that I consider good, I can play the story mode with the graphics on Ultra at more than 60fps I can also get this average fps in empty sessions (Online). However, when I'm in a session with more players, my fps goes to 45. I've tried everything, reducing the graphics, changing the resolution, etc. however, 45 fps remains. Can anyone help?

I made the same post to rerddit, the replied consisted of people saying theres nothing you can do, if you want the best performance online you have to stay in a solo inv only lobby, Online is so bloated with ♥♥♥♥ the game runs poorly, My rig is 10850k x 3090 and my pc usage is below 50% with avg fps 80

Problem is, gta V uses a lot of CPU, in online, it uses even more than on single, the more people are connected, the more it uses it. Your best bet is to upgrade your CPU or overclock it. With some OC, as long as you maintain temps, you could climb up to close to 60 if not more fps.

Give or take. I had the same issue ages ago on a slower laptop.

wrong... 5GHz 10 cores and the game runs like ♥♥♥♥ with less than 50% usage its the game, stop telling ppl to upgrade the pc for a f3cking game thats 11 years old

Honestly, the configuration of the other user who commented is excellent and yet he suffers from the same problem as mine, I don't think overclocking or changing my processor will solve it. ..Anyway, I will continue in solo sessions.

That's basically what happens to me, the game doesn't use the GPU or CPU much. It's strange, my processor consumes only 20%

you need to monitor each core/thread instead of the average usage

If you're monitoring usage through windows, that could also be your issue, as it is not always accurate.

Use something like HWmontior to check hardware utilization.

What's your specs?
Just with basic setting optimizing with nvidia geforce experience, I get average 60+ frames with a gtx 1050ti.
MIght be a good place to start, optimizing settings.

I use MSI afterburner, my setup is R5600x + RTX 2060, 16GB RAM. I'm going to try nvidia optimization.

Ok cool, anything is better than windows task manager.
If the geforce experience helps report back.

Okay, okay. I was testing Nvidia's optimization and also without the optimization, and honestly there were improvements, I tested in sessions with 20 players the game was around 50fps away from the city and 45 fps with drops to 30 when driving fast through the city (That's without the optimization from nvidia)

With the optimization, I could notice a improvement, I went from session to session until I found one with 20 players, repeating almost all my movements, away from the city it was 70, in the city it was around 60-54. Driving at high speed around the city was around 50-44 fps. It's a pretty considerable improvement. It's not ideal, but it's a help.

At the moment, your tip was the only one that helped me, unfortunately it is very difficult to do an accurate test in GTA online, as there are several differences in what happens in each session. However, I felt improvements. I thank.

Ok awesome that's a good start atleast. Shows some promise.
Also when you get to the screen to optimize settings, there is a wrench you can click that gives a slider to adjust for either quality or performance, I have mine set to performance.

This gives a few other options within the geforce for known good settings.
Now you can tweak settings from there for better gains. Geforce experience just gives a good base settings, making it easier to tweak them from there.
Yeah def not always the best solution, but does work for some and easy to do.

edit, here is another discussion where someone is getting low FPS, and someone posted a solution that seemed to help FPS wise.

Might be worth trying for ya. Either way report back and good luck!
