gta 5 lagging on high end laptop

[denii]

i have an powerful laptop with: rtx1060, i7 8th generation, 8gb ram etc.And gta 5 is lagging or i have 40-80 fps while my screen is 144 Hz.What can I do?

GTX 1060*. 8GB RAM might leave you a bit short-handed, and GTA V can still be pretty demanding with MSAA and enhanced draw distance. Fine-tune your settings.

Disable hardware acceleration in Steam settings.

Disable full screen optimization in file properties for steam.exe and any of the game exe files.

It shouldnt lagg, but you're not going to get 144 fps with those specs, not in that game.

Set os desktop to 144hz via nvidia control panel. Once at in game menu, press alt+enter and see if maybe it was in windowed mode the whole time. Switch game to full screen and enable 144hz in game settings. Set game settings to high, disable Reflections AA amd also MSAA. Disable everything in the Advanced in the game settings. Then see how it does. If you wish to run the benchmark, first apply visual settings, save and exit the game, then relaunch it using the benchmark mode.

Always exit a game after making changes to settings. Cause if you make a bunch of changes and play the game and it later crashes, all those settings changes might be undone cause they did not save to the game config file, which for most games won't happen until the game is exited.

I’ll try thx <3

Exactly what i7 do you have? i7-8750H?

I would turn off shader caching in the NVIDIA CP
As also mentioned the 8GB RAM may also be an issue, close any un needed programs/processes before gaming to help reclaim needed RAM.

Yea 8gb ram is only enough if just run steam and gtav and basically nothing else, like chrome for example.

If you are gaming and multitasking at same time, get 16gb ram minimum

i7 8th gen don't mean a whole lot, whats the model of the i7?

GTA5 will hammer a quad core chip.

Actually GTA5 is designed for 3c/6t CPUs.

Actually GTA5 is designed for 3c/6t CPUs.

At what clocks though? I mean a 4 core 8 thread chip at 2Ghz is going to perform pretty badly in this game for example.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Modern cpus, even most mobile 8th and 9th gen i7 class may run at around 2-2.4 ghz base clock, but have a Turbo of around 3.0ghz or higher.

Again, despite its age, GTAV is demanding, it is a work of art after all and has alot going on with AI and such.

I would ensure things like SpeedStep is disabled and that the OS is set to high performance power profile, the laptop most likely needs to also be plugged into wall power to get the higher performance to run most games smoothly. As battery means forcing into a power saver mode with lesser cpu and gpu performance. Might want to disable core parking in your OS also.

It might, but it won't perform much better than 3c/6t chip at the very same 2GHz. My point is no matter the clocks, GTAV simply can't go fully utilise more than 3c/6t, so technically speaking your "GTA5 will hammer a quad core chip" statement is incorrect as long as those cores got SMT, so it's indeed more about clocks than cores in GTA5 case.

Yea it would be much different if this was an older laptop or something like i3 or i5... 2 cores or 2cores/4threads...

But modern 8th/9th gen are extremely better compared to previous gens. And unless you have and intel cpu model that ends in "U" it generally should be fine for most games.

40-80 fps sounds about right if most of the visuals are cranked up at 1080p res. The frame transitions should still be fairly smooth on a 144Hz display though, especially if gtav is not dipping below 40 fps. Below this in that game, it may feel laggy or sluggish.

I would also suggest os, apps and this game be installed to an ssd, and that you have 16gb ram. Make sure the pagefile gets wiped out and reset to a mix/max of no less then 8192 mb
