GTA V FPS Stuttering and lagging horribly to the point its unplayable, this is the entire time the game is open so i know there is heaps of threads about the same matter but none i can see with the fix's solves my issue everything seams to resort to ram and i have a total of 8gb so i don't know if its that anyway GFX drivers are up to date so is everything else, the thing is the game use to run perfectly all of a sudden it does not ive tried vsync and all sorts of other fix's online but cannot solve the issue i just wanna play my $80 game :(

Can you specify what you mean when you say it was running fine for a while? Your CPU could be the problem. If you spent time in lowly populated areas, then started running into stuttering when you entered the city or another place with a lot of traffic and NPCs, my bet would be on the CPU not being powerful enough too.
