What settings do you use and what resolution?

IDProG :

i run 1080p 2x msaa fxaa on anti aliasing 4x 2x reflection and everything else normal-very high

You might want to pick up a 144hz monitor to go with your 1080.....
Its just a complete waste running it on a 60hz 1080 panel.
A good monitor would be the BenQ XL2411Z or Asus VG248QE if you can find one at a good price.

What settings are you using?

msaa x2 fxaa on anti aliasing x4 reflection x4 everything at normal-very high

IDProG · Jul 6, 2016

No way! You'll need max settings and 8x msaa to drop the minimum frame rate to 30 fps.

IDProG · Jul 6, 2016

Try to unplug and replug your gfx.

MatthewHatreD · Jul 6, 2016

IDProG :

gfx?? where??

IDProG · Jul 6, 2016

Gfx is your graphics card fyi.

but this is the only game i have trouble running literally poop on rise of the tomb raider quantum break, just cause 3 mad max

IDProG · Jul 6, 2016

Maybe because of the driver. Hopefully an update will solve your problem.

MatthewHatreD · Jul 6, 2016

IDProG :

but other people arent having this problem, all i wanna do is play gta 5 maxed and have 0 problems

No idea what the hell these guys are saying..... lol.
Doubtful that the driver is the problem.
I think that if you have the money for a 4k monitor you should invest in 1440p 144hz, as unless you're pushing 60fps all the time on a 4k monitor it can be a very stuttery and unpleasant experience.

A good recommendation is the Acer XB270HU, or if you want the better looking variant, the XB271HU which has a sleeker bezel and panel overclockable to 165hz, which isn't really noticeable from 144hz.
A 1080 is perfect for this resolution.
It is highly likely that your card is thermal throttling, run GPU-Z in the background while you're playing GTA or running the in game benchmark and tell me what your temps are.

OK will do can we private message??

IDProG · Jul 6, 2016

I guess I know what your problem is. There is a chance that your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU (this occurs at lower resolution). Try playing the game at higher res (using dsr) and see if it solves your problem.

wont do it for gta 5

Get something like msi afterburer/rivatuner or hwinfo64, you need to monitor CPU/GPU usage, temperature, and core clock. Basically looking for what is maxing out which will point to your problem. You may also want to do a clean driver uninstall/reinstall.

Let us know what you find, I have a hunch your CPU is being throttled, possibly by a rampant power saving feature or thermals.

ok so i should use msi after burner and how do i look at my cpu core clock and stuff and how long shall i play gta 5 for to look at them properly?

A quick google/youtube search will give you in detail instructions. You just need to play long enough to experience the drops your speak of so you can see whats going on with your CPU during these times.
