Some has suggested reinstalling directx from within the gta folder (CommonRedist), thats what I did, and so far, it seems to be working for me at least. Just find that DX setup in that folder and see if that solves your problem. Another possible fix for this problem is deleting the d3dcompiler_46.dll and d3dcsx_46.dll and re download those files. Hope this helps :) Also, you should be running the game in windowed borderless, because fullscreen has also been tied to this issue for some reason.

If you have the steam version, you can go into properties and click on verify game cache, and it will re-download the files for you. If you downloaded from rockstar, it should be automatically downloaded when you launch the game, but take a backup just in case, otherwise I can send you a link.

Think I got a solution.

Amd users dont let AMD Gaming Evolved optimize your game!
I reversed the optimalisation and it's working great again.

If I optimize again it is crashing within minutes.

Hopefully it helps for other people
