Hello, I was hoping if I could get some help here. I purchased GTA V two weeks after release and since day one, I've been having one annoying issue. I will be playing at 50-60 fps for a good 5 minutes, when all of a sudden my frame rate drops to around 20 fps for a solid 20-25 seconds before returning to normal. I have this issue on online and story mode.
I have an AMD FX-8320 @3.5 GHz cooled with a Cooler Master water cooler, and a Radeon HD 7870 2GB. The game is loaded on a Crucial MX-100 256 GB SSD.
I also have graphics settings well under the max allotted VRAM.
I have tried:
-Updating to the 15.4 beta drivers
-Disabling Cool N Quiet in BIOS
-Disabling AMD Turbocore
-Setting GTA V priority to High
-Lowering all graphical settings
-Playing well within the allotted VRAM
-Ending the launcher process
-Disabling AVAST! antivirus
-Sending in a support ticket
-Running in windowed mode
-Uninstalling and reinstalling the game on both a hard drive and solid state drive
I would also like to mention that this is a steam copy, and it was legitimately purchased. Here is a link to a video with my issue: https://youtu.be/K47Vg_PI8z4
Here is the same person outlining his problems on another thread on this website: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2620764/gta-fps-drops-20seconds.html
He has since solved it, but I did exactly the same thing he did the solve it but to no avail.
