i recently played GTA 5, on High settings , Medium Settings , Ultra Settings

doesn't matter.. the problem is i have prety bad shutterings, and hiccups..

FPS: 60-62-56- and then 25 - 62-58 - and then again - 34 - 62 -52 .

every 15 - 20 seconds, i got big FPS Drops.

i tryed switched my GPU Power cable, i have two of them, because i was thinking that mybe this is power issue, but no... i run GTA 5 Benchmark on both cables, the old one, and new.. same thing..

i dont know what causes this :// also was thinking mybe it`s Ram , but dont know.. i checked my BIOS version and its outdated.. new version is 2016, for my Motherboard..

i really dont know what is the problem, its on all games i play..mostly.

In MSI Afterburner i saw that when i play GTA 5, or Battlefield 1 .. is
GPU Usage is always on 45-50%
CPU is on 80 - 95%
RAM Usage is prety high 6800-7100-7400 MB

GPU Temps always: 60 - 62c (Automatic FAN Mode , not Manual)
CPU Temps when gaming always: 59 - 60c



My system :

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit (Build 14393)
BIOS: Ver. v2.3 24.07.2014
MB: MSI Z97 Gaming 3
RAM: 1x HyperX Blu 8GB DDR3 @ 1600Mhz (this ram is from 2013 in my pc)
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k @ 3.5 Ghz (stock)
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 (stock)
HDD: 1TB / 7200rpm / Blue *All my games on this HDD*
SSD: Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB SSD *Windows 10 Installed*
PSU: RM650x +80 Gold

Resolution playing: 1360x768 / 60hz

I highly recommend getting a second stick of ram. There is actually a performance difference between single and dual channel ram. It increases the baseline fps and overal average fps. It also stabilizes your system better.
Refer to performance differences below. Look at average fps, and the read write speed comparisons between single and dual channel. You'll still see a difference even in ddr3 ram.

Just remember you need to get the same kit, or replace the old one. They have to run at the same frequencies. It may work together but it very well may not. Good luck to you. As long as you go from 1 to 2 or more, you should see better baseline performance and higher stability.

Alright mate, my old 1x 8GB Ram, i will put in trash, or just take it away...

i will buy 16GB new kit, for 130$
Kingston Fury Black . CL10

i can get Kingston Savage CL9 for 150$ , but i think its not worth .
These kits has same 1600Mhz.
