So, i recently bought gtx 970 palit jetstream. Besides the 3.5gb + 0.5gb problem, everything is buttery smooth. But i saw a problem while playing gta 5 for 30 mins. At one time the game starts stuttering like sh**. I have 4790k @4ghz. I tried DDU and installing an old driver. It ran perfectly on some 2015 drivers but was with like 10-15 fps lower and it utilized 60-70% of my cpu, while the newest one (384.76) utilizes 30% MAX. That doesnt bother me so much. The problem is that msi afterburner monitoring shows that only 3-3.2gb vram is used and the game stutters badly, again that is only on the latest drivers. So do you guys have any idea why this happens? Btw, i browsed around the internet and it seems like i'm the only one with problems with the newest drivers.
