GTA V, heavy stuttering

SareMa · Nov 2, 2015

Hello guys,

so i purchased GTA V and now I am having issues with really annoying stutters. I have Pentium G3258@4.4Ghz. I know it does not fit recommended specs, but i'm not sure if CPU is the problem.

I noticed that the tearing occurs mainly when driving vehicles, the game does not load the city fast enough and when this happens, it starts to tear. When being static, the game runs at 100+ FPS with CPU load at 100%, when tearing happens, load dips from 60% to 80%. When it does not tear, it runs perfectly fine and goes back to 100% load. Disk usage isn't high though, usually around 20%.

I'm trying different settings to determine the problem, but i have not found a solution.

Some things to consider: I am running dual screen (gaming only on one screen), GPU is sufficient, (GTX 960 2GB) 8GB of ram.

I also noticed simmilar tearing in other games, but it was rare.

So my questions are; is it really a CPU problem? Would higher multiplier help? Does any game settings alter cpu usage? Could it be overclocking incompatibility?

Thanks for your time and sorry for long post. Martin

Could be vram write down pc specs please

edit: All of it , i have i5 3340 3.1 cpu and bottlenecks fast speed on ultra settings r9 270x 4gb is my gpu.

This actually happens due to a dual core cpu. GTA 5 works pretty well on quad core CPUs and stutters on a Dual Core CPU while driving fast.

It's a shame though because many people says that before updates the game ran perfectly fine on G3258

cpu absolutely blocking your gpu you have to lower settings even lowest it will bottleneck i think you should upgrade it

edit: i see some videos not bottleneck much? someting maybe wrong with oc? , i dont know that much its risky

Allright, thank you. Do you think i should get i5-4690k? Considering H97 chipset. Afaik you can't alter BCLK but is it really that critical? I always though that multiplier is what matters the most. Also, is i7 worth for gaming?

Yes, ive seen this. I think it's before the patches. More people are having these stuttering issues and they claim that before patches, the game run smoothly.

Price to performance and considering its a H97 MB, a good buy would be the i5-4590. (No OC)

"The 4th-generation Intel Core K Series ('Haswell' and 'Haswell Refresh') processors include Core i7 4770K, Core i5 4670K, Core i7-4790K and i5-4690K. ASUS does not guarantee that later-announced Intel CPUs with overclocking features ('Haswell Refresh K' Series) will be overclockable on ASUS H97, H87, B85 and H81 Series motherboards."

" with CPU load at 100%"
aaaand you don't think that's the cause???

I had stuttering in HD video when the CPU was at full 100% usage on an old computer I use to stream.
I bought a video card to offload some of the video processing and now all HD video plays great with the CPU bounce from 30% to 60% but never 100% anymore.

Unfortunately, you can't do that because you already have a GPU.
The problem is that turtle you call a CPU.

I would still go for 4690K because in my country, it costs only 20 euros more. Thanks for reply though.

Well i get 120 fps with 100% load when its not stuttering.
