Hi, I have an unusual issue with my gaming rig in that I get severe stuttering in one game and one game only - Grand Theft Auto V
Now, what makes this even more perplexing is that in any other game, including the much more demanding Just Cause 3, performance is extremely smooth and framerates are high. It's just GTA V that I have issues with. I should also mention it wasn't always like this - I used to have a 2GB GTX 960, and in game performance with that was a buttery smooth solid 60FPS, I had to stop using that when it gave up the ghost on account on failing VRAM. However, when I recently replaced it with what I'm currently running (a MSI GTX 1050Ti 4GB), the performance issues in GTA began. The performance should be the same if not better, so why is it so terrible all of a sudden?
PS: I have always ran GTA at high settings, 720p with no advanced graphical options, that's from when I had the 960 and I didn't change any when I got my 1050
Full PC specs -
CPU: Intel Core i5 2400 3.1GHz
GPU: MSI GTX 1050Ti Gaming X 4GB
Motherboard: Dell M5DCD
RAM: 8GB DDR3
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB HDD
External storage: 1TB Toshiba Cavio Basics USB HDD
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
PSU: EVGA 430W
Any help would be appreciated,
Cheers in advance
Rob
