I have been trying to play GTA V for months on my tower. I get terrible framerates despite having good specs:
I have tried the following:
I cant think of anything else to try. At this point I think the issue is a bad motherboard. I have had similar issues in FO4 and Dirt Rally. I am not sure though how to diagnose a bad motherboard, as the only other issues I have had with it is that I cannot get video out to work with the motherboard. Another less likely issue could be the RAM, it seems to be a good bit slower with a CAS latency of 11, compared to what seems to be the normal 9. I'm not convinced that is the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to save the money and not buy a new motherboard.

-AMD R9 390 Nitro

I have tried the following:
-Lowered all settings
-Tried running the game at 800x600
-Turned off everything I can think of
-Set the CPU priority to max
-Made sure the SSD has ample space left
-The CPU isn't overheating
-Closed out of all programs
