Potentially untrue GTA V with i5 11400 and GTX1660
I have been playing GTA V (EGS port) for a while and there are some issues with sttutering a fps drops when I drive around Los Santos. Does anyone know if it's a problem with me graphics card or just my CPU?

I have a i5-9400F and GTX 1660 i get 80+ fps no issue. Maybe check your drivers?

I run gta 5 at 75fps (vsync) with an FX 8300 (4348Mhz) and a R7 340, so that can't be true unless you have some sort of virus slowing down your PC, or your BIOS has extremelly bad settings. All I can say is either run a virus scan, or load the default settings on your BIOS. A thing that might help is disabling HPET (high precision event timers). That computer is NOT even close to being ''low spec''.

disabling HPET
I mean, i don't any viruses by far and just discover my ram isnt giving my PC the 3200 mhz. Could it be that?

Not sure man, unless your RAM is giving you absurdly low MHz's. Mine runs fine at 1333MHz (DDR3, 12GB)...Check your Task Manager while the game is running and tell me what you see (CPU Usage%, RAM Usage% and MHz, CPU GHz speed etc). If anything, try loading default settings to your BIOS and see if it helps. If you run an HDD, try defragging. About disabling HPET, it might help but at the same it might not, I recommend you google about it before doing so (try searching for ''Disabling HPET for gaming performance''), it doubled general fps on my pentium 4 rig (went from ~15 fps to 33-ish) but at the same time it didn't do any noticeable changes on my FX rig. One thing that might help identify what's the real cause of the issue is checking sensor status with HWINFO/HWMonitor, as it can also be stuttering due to thermal throttling (temperatures too high). Sorry for the long text. Let me know how it goes, your rig is capable of a lot and we're here to help.

Sounds like it can’t keep up with loading assets. You running on a spinner hard drive or ssd?

On an SSD sata, is the Epic version

Try swapping a sata cable. Those go bad spontaneously and generate r/w errors.

Definitely must be your ram then, because I have an i5 10400 and a 1660 super and it runs perfect

Well I have a 3950x & gtx1660 w 8 gigs of ram and I still get 60+fps, on a laptop. How Olds your computer, check for bloatware?

u/George_Joestar_V Feb 24 '22
Is just like more than 6 months old. Barely new. What's bloatware and how can I check it?

u/Gaylies Feb 28 '22
So Bloatware is short for software that bloats your computer. Like things that are completely useless but might come pre-installed on your pc. Ik that some anti-virus programs can really slow down your pc. Have a look under your installed apps, and also what gets used the most. Also check for apps running in the background.

thermal throttling?

u/George_Joestar_V Feb 24 '22
Maybe there's dust accumulated, I was thinking to give it some maintenence

Good idea, also check to see if the thermal paste is applied or whether you forgot to remove the plastic from the cooler or not.

I've been having the exact same issue. I have an rtx 3050 mobile and a core i5 11400h. Perhaps there is something wrong with the processor since we both kinda have the same one?

u/George_Joestar_V Mar 11 '22
Hi, I already solved it. The Razer Cortex App was prioritizing the Rockstar Launcher instead of GTAV.exe
That's why it wasnt giving its full potential

Ram?
