Hey everyone,
I recently purchased a used PC, and I’ve been encountering a frustrating issue while playing. My FPS keeps dropping from a smooth 180 down to a sluggish 28 in grand theft auto, causing the screen to freeze for a second. It’s making the game unplayable, and I could really use some assistance in troubleshooting and fixing this problem.
Here are some details about my setup:
Zotac 4080
i7 13700K
prime z790-p wifi
crosair cmh 32gx5 DDR5
Silverstone 850w
Monitor XL2740 240HZ
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue ? How did you resolve it? If you have any ideas or tips on what might be causing this problem and how to fix it, please let me know.
That game is pretty old and should work without any issues. Drops like that on 1080p and your setup seems not plausible. Maybe it’s an internet thing or hackers around as i would presume you talk about online part of GTA.
If not, then it could be a ram issue, something not quite working properly maybe OC issue or whatever else frequence thing, but that should give you issues in other parts not just that game in particular.
Maybe a storage issue, your HDD or SSD or the installation of the game. Check for inconsistences.
Or simpler, a setting issue. Maybe being a new pc or whatever of a considerable specs you manually push all settings to max and didn’t use the presets. Even then though there are a few settings that are not that visible when changed but visible in performance. I don’t remember exactly their name but i think it has something to do with antialiasing technology. There is that one that’s upping edges to 4k or whatever in several layers and going full makes it that there are so many layers that it’s very taxing on fps.
