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.

    Bro I think I have a solution. Are you experiencing those stutters only in gta or in other games?

    Especcially for gta V. Game engine has a limit of 188 fps. It cant go higher. Your system can easily handle this game at 188 fps and even higher. I’d recommend downloading MSI Afterburner and locking the fps in GTA V for example to 150 (Use RivaTurner Statistic Server to lock the fps ). It should feel buttery smooth with no all stutters and lag spikes
