So, hey there! This is my first question here!
So the problem is, i can play GTA V Singeplayer on all settings maxed : Very High / 1080p with 50-60 fps.
When it comes to Online, at 15 players the game goes down to 40 fps.. most of the time..
Yea i know 40 is good but it hurts my eyes.. Is this caused by my CPU right? what can i do with it? here's my rig:
-FX6300 3.5GHz +Zalman CNPS9500 Led Cooler
-R9 270 Windforce 2X OC 256bit GDDR5
-8GB DDR3 1866 MHz HyperX Fury
-Asus m5a78l-m/usb 3.0
-Corsair CX500
-500GB Western Digital
I have latest drivers, latest BIOS driver etc, but i think it has nothing to do with it, beacuse players are making me lag and that has to do something with my processor... right?
Waiting for some advise/help. Thanks.
