Whenever I start to drive, It has these little tiny lag spikes every second or less and it pretty much ruins the game for me, I tried messing with the settings & nvidia control panel and it did nothing.

The only thing under spec is the cpu by 0.1 ghz. It runs normally at 40-50 fps at normal settings. It also happens on my brothers pc which has an i5 and a gtx 780.

Yeah, It still did nothing. It might have something to do with my processor but I might build a new PC soon

One thing to try is running in Windowed mode, see if that helps.

Good luck on your new PC! :)

Is it when you drive period or when you get up to a certain speed? My friends laptop will lag because the game can't load the world as fast as he's driving.

Does it do it if you get on the train that goes around the map?

My brother has the same issue with the GTX 780, Also, I tried updating the driver and lowering the resolution, it did nothing. Ill try to contact Rockstar then give up until I get a new PC.
