GTA V and GTX 1050 Ti SC

[Hopsout]

Hi everyone! So I just installed my new GPU, the GTX 1050 Ti SC 4GB, and I was really hoping to get at least 60 fps in GTA V with max settings. Unfortunately I was getting an average of 25 fps with everything maxed out. My CPU is AMD FX 4130 Quad Core Processor and I'm sure it's not bottlenecking.

Do any of you know what might be causing this problem, and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

First what do you mean by max? What AA settings are you running? You don't even mention resolution. If you could take a screenshot of the gta v settings and post them, it would help us determine if you have an issue.

First try turning down some un-needed settings, such as anti-aliasing, v-sinc, and anisotropic filtering. Maybe adjusting some shaders, or textures would help as well. Your CPU would slightly bottleneck the GPU but it shouldn't bottleneck it that much.

Sorry, I'm running on 1920x1080, but now I tried to "optimize" the game with GeForce Experience and I'm getting an average of 45 fps, with all AA settings off.

Shouldn't the GTX 1050 Ti SC be able to run GTA V on max settings with decent fps, so I don't need to lower settings?

Is it possible that the GPU delivered to me is defective?

Ummm, positive the CPU isn't bottlenecking? You are wrong. The 4130 will definitely bottleneck the 1050 ti.

Certain settings can greatly decrease performance. There should be something at the bottom (or right) of the screen that displays your GPU memory compared to how much the game is demanding. You don't want to use all of the GPU's memory. Disabling or turning down certain extremely performance demanding settings like Anistropic filtering, anti aliasing, ect. would greatly increase performance.

Thanks for all the quick replies btw guys.

I'm pretty new to PC building, but what makes a CPU bottleneck a GPU? My CPU has 3.8 GHz which I believe should be enough for the GPU I have. Please correct me if I am wrong.

i think u should lower ure settings to medium och high, and your fps will be better

How come the benchmarks on YT run it on 1440p with max settings and they're getting 70+ fps? Do you think it could be my CPU?

My fpc .OMG

GTA V on max settings at 1440p and 70+ fps on a 1050 ti? No way. Your cpu certainly isn't helping much that's for sure, but your expectations for that card are way too high regardless.

Then how does this guy have decent FPS on Very High settings? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXgclbezZvc

You posted max settings not very high. He also has an I5 6600k which is light years ahead of your AMD cpu. He did not maintain 70+ fps in all areas either, he had drops down to low 50s in some places.

Just reduce your settings to a playable level and stop obsessing about other people's fps.

My CPU has 3.80 GHz, and his has 3.5 GHz. Shouldn't my CPU be better then? Unless there's another factor that I don't know which, hopefully, you will explain to me.

AMD cpus like the FX series have slower per core performance than Intel cpus. That I5 turbos up to 3.9 GHz per core and that's without an OC.

I understand now that it is a bottleneck by the CPU. What CPU would you recommend for the GTX 1050 Ti SC?

Clockspeed means jack about performance as how may operation per clock can be done is way more important.

That's like a car that has an engine with 20k RPM but can only drive at 40 miles an hour max. Not very efficient.

The i5 6600k is more than twice as fast than your FX 4130 despite the lower clock speed.
