Hi guys,

 

Around a month or two ago I got some hardcore lag spikes while playing GTA, but

I didn't really act on it until now. Basically Whenever I start GTA, I spawn in Franklin's

House(All missions complete), When I move forward or move my mouse sometimes

The game freezes for like 2 seconds then continues fine with like 60 fps. Then about

A minute in to the game when I go outside, it starts to freeze every 4-5 seconds, then

Go down to like 30-20 FPS. I will also mention that the sound also stutters during these

Spikes

 

My graphics card is an

NVIDIA GTX 760

 

My processor is an

Intel i5 Dual Processor

 

Additionally

I cleaned out my PC, and I think i noticed a few differences for the better, but before that

I also did a few others things like change my graphics down(because that always helps right?)

So I'm not sure if that had an impact. Also nothing happened before this that would contribute

To the issues, no loud pop, no computer screaming, nothing like that. And when I tried Dirty Bomb,

Another Steam game something similar happens, but a lot worse, like I can't even move in game,

Yet CS:GO, Insurgency, Minecraft(Yes I did try it) work absolutely fine. So before this I was able to

Run the game perfectly, but now I reinstall the game, start vanilla and this happens. Very odd.

 

Thanks for your time, thanks in advance for any help! 

I also made a video demonstrating the lag at 

 

GTA5 is a very CPU-intensive game. Can you give me any additional details on your CPU? Your GPU is a bit outdated at this point, but provided you are playing at 1080p it should be fine.

Sure thing! I'm using an Intel Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 with 2.67GHz of ram. Before like 2 months ago I was able to play the game perfectly with the exact same processor.

Actually, I'm reading you are seeing this in other games. It might be worth trying a tool like Hwinfo64 and seeing if your CPU or GPU are overheating.

I'll try that right now and report back.

Alright, I had HWiNFO (64-bit) open, and started GTA 5.  Here are the results

If you make sure to hit 'Sensors' in the program it should give you a list of temperatures and voltages.

Alright, did another test with thr Sensor mode on this time, here are the results

Try Albo123's LSPD:FR Trouble-Shooter, as the Lag-Spikes might be result of Incorrect/corrupted Files in your Main Directory/Mods Folder. Also make sure to Validate your Game Files in the Steam Launcher.
