I am playing on 1440x900 and second monitor is active also.. Everything normal but i thing i can play with some settings on beacuse they are not using some memory but will try them go low also.

So 4gb 1337mhz is problem? beacuse i think my system with all that and when i buy 8gb 1866mhz will handle 50fps or more on everything low?

As other posters mentioned, the GPU is limited at 2GB of RAM, and the system RAM is not so great either at 4GB (not very fast, either)...Consider lowering some of the advanced settings? Have you tweaked the in game settings as much as you possibly can?

GTA V is a pretty demanding game.

Also try OCing the FX further, 3.9 ghz is underclocked, isnt it? goes up to 4.1 ghz on turbo...you using the stock cooler?? That can cause temp throttling and dips..driving in other games caused massive lag for me as well (deadrising 3, was pretty glitchy though) i think driving is more taxing on the system for whatever reason.

The very best thing you could do for you system is get to 8GB of ram, preferably 2 x 4GB sticks in dual channel, at 1600 mhz at least. OC the processor with a new cooler like a Hyper 212 EVO, get it to 4.4 Ghz at least. If you can it up to 4.6Ghz it starts to match a stock 8 core FX chip. What is your mobo and PSU?

speed over 1600 doesent really matter unless you have an apu. its simple. Upgrade to a 2x4gb kit for literally $30 used, and if the fps doesent increase as much as you want, pickup a new gpu, like a 7950 or 7970 for cheap. You could sell the 270 you have for about $70 american, and you shouldnt have a problem getting a 7970 for $90ish usd

the GPU upgrade will be pointless on a stock FX 6300. Get it to 4.5 Ghz or get an FX 8320/8350 when you can, and then by that point the PSU will be on the weaker side to handle a real GPU.

OC the FX 6300, get 2 x 4GB 1600 mhz, and you will be pleasantly surprised. the FX 6300 really needs to be OC'd to be taken seriously, ive seen considerable gains personally from a bump up to 4.4 Ghz on a 6300, granted i was testing on older games (bio shock inf, metro 2033) as it was a while back. I cant imagine much has changed, with games increasingly becoming more demanding.

yup these are the steps I would do

1. overclock the cpu as far as it can go (obviously free)

2. Upgrade to 8gb (2x4gb) (about a $30 upgrade)

3. Upgrade gpu eventually. Within the next year in my opinion. like I said before, the 7970 is an amazing option. It still beats out a r9 380. an amazing upgrade from a r9 270, considering you can find on reddit/hardwareswap for around that $80 price tag
