Why cant I run GTA V?

carrotbos5 · May 11, 2015

Guys,
I have an HP Pavilion 17-f202nv

Specs:
i7 5500U dual core 2.4 GHz
GeForce 840m 4GB
6 Gb of RAM
1 TB of hard disk

When I am playing gta,it can run at "high" graphics with 50-60 fps. But after 2-3 minutes of playing its starts a massive fps drop and shutter which makes the game unplayable.Things start gettig worse when i m in a car and move.

Can I help it somehow? Is it a bug?

note: i have the latest nvidia update especially for gtav

I have heard that GTA V is poorly coded. I would check your temps though. You might be overheating.

Try lowering the graphics settings and see if that helps. Your system is on the very low end for being able to play it, if not just under the minimum.

I currently playing at the very lowest. Low end? proccessor had 7/10 and RAM 7/10 too,
Only my graphics card was 5/10 for playing this game in medium graphics. I ve seen other users with the same specs playing it in 40-60 fps. This laptop could handle AC unity at 40 fps,I dont think that GTA V was gonna be a mess for it. Thanks for responding

So do you think that overheating is actually causing dramatically fps drop?
When i launch the game it runs smooth for 2-3 minutes,but after this its just a mess. If Overheating could cause that then i ll check temps. Thank you

Might want to update graphics drivers too, from Nvidia.

Try to set Power Profile to High Performance and play with charger, also try to lift your laptop a bit from ground for better air flow under it so it can cool better.

download HWMonitor or gpuz and watch your temps. Sounds exactly like thermal throttling.

Cool! Basicly my driver settings have 4 values to choose to set which in english ( and in greek) translate in performance-high performance. Anyway,i tried it! it kinda worked! fps "leveled up!" xD but still while driving at high speed,or during missions things get bad..
my temparutres max is 90 ,and when i m hitting pause and checking is around 70
is that good?

90 is to much even for laptop.
I donno what is Intel doing.They cant low temps on 15 W CPU that is just late i mean how weak cooler you need for that and that HP cant provide decent cooler for it is just ridicules.
