so just to start off my in my pc is the amd a10 7890k set at 4.5 gigs OC'd water cooled with a cooler master master liquid 120 my GPU is the msi gtx 1070 gaming x 8 gig and my mother board is the asrock 88 plus killer i have only 8 gigs of ram at 1333. and a 156 gig sandisk ssd with a wd blue 1 terabyte hdd for storage. so when i play gtav on high or ultra ( which is the optimized settings for the 1070) for some reason ill be playing just fine at 60 fps average and about 40 minimum and at some times my game wont freeze but it has a hard time rendering all the scenes. so like ill be driving for example and then the ground dissapears and buildings look like clay blocks and if i stop the car the game will catch up and render but then i move again and itll do it again. i have a dual monitor setup as i like to be able to stream the internet while im gaming. idk which part of my hardware needs upgraded if any can help that would be great... o and this is the only game that this happens on.

I assume the game is installed on the HDD? You may need to run a defrag after every couple hours of gaming. It's just the game files that get fragmented so the defrag shouldn't take long. You know not to defrag your SSD right?
