At least GTA V probably runs way better at low 😅 (Right ?! Actually it would be amazing if not but I don't think Rage engine is THAT impressive)

[@jarecvu7333]

GTA 5 is poorly optimised for PC. RDR2 has DLSS which helps

[@Aztonio]

@@jarecvu7333 With a hp pavillon laptop from a semi-decade ago with no graphic card and just an I5, 4Gb RAM, and all (or nothing)... I don't think RDR2 will win, or work at all, but surprisingly, GTAV does. Thanks to ps3 optimization probably, it even become relatively fluid when I reduce everything to minimal, including screen scaling. (which make it like a fusion between gta and Minecraft, but hey it's still gta, and i'm poor xD)

For those with G-Sync compatible screens.. I just tested putting low latency mode at ultra, and with vsync on (in the nvidia panel, OFF in GTA settings) it is working great and not adding noticeable latency. Nvidia notes that these two combined with G-Sync are designed to stop all screen tearing without a latency expense. I even play shmups with this mode and with wireless Bluetooth gamepads I have 16 bit console like response times. In Nvidia CPL, cap your FPS at a few below screen refresh rate, turn on V Sync and turn on Ultra low latency. Smoother as butter. Again this is for G-Sync users. Even on my Laptop 3070 at 2560x1600, very high settings all round and a some ultra, MSAA 2x and TXAA on (FXAA off in this case), I am over 100 FPS and it looks gorgeous. When the game loaded I was hitting like 187 FPS and I was like "damn it's an old game and such but it doesn't look very good" until I realised everything was on normal by default LOL. Yes, this is the first time I am playing GTA 5, period. Crazy huh?

[@Emilbil12696]

[@teddym2808]

@@aidencoleman4676 Depends on your laptop specs. My advice was really only for those who wanted to minimise all latency and have zero tearing when using a g-sync compatible display. If your laptop is capable of playing GTA V at higher than 144 FPS you might want to turn on V-Sync, no need to cap FPS or anything else, but it will add some input lag but it will be smooth and tear free. I can't really answer you though until I know what laptop you are using and if it has g-sync/freesync or not.

Anyone trying to keep cpu temps under control, you can disable turbo mode and hyperthreading in BIOS (possibly Intel only?), and reduce max processor performance from 100% to 99 or 98% for a small drop in overall temps under load with very little performance loss.

[@__username1]

And also, make sure that "record in background while I'm playing a game" (settings - gaming - captures) is turned off, lol, I turned it on sometime and forgot to turn it off, and I opened "gaming" in settings according this guide, and decided to make sure this option is turned off, but it was turned on.

[@Z357Y]

Yes, a year later, You get stutters and fps drops in the map and settings alone, simply because you are reaching the engine limits "188 fps" which fun fact, anything above 120 fps will break some of the story mode. So if you get 188 fps in the settings, thats you hitting the limits and gives major stutters.

[@bobodalasousupreme3812]

@@disbled good riddance for graphics cultist 🤣

[@maaax1173]

9:58 The cause of those stutters is an engine fps cap at 187 fps. PostFX would be the settings to solve it on some PCs as it applies a higher quality filter to the menu background which needs some performance. The ultimate solution is capping the game at 186 fps to make sure the problem never occurs, or more realistically to slightly below the fps you're getting on avg. For soft shadows, if you want the best fps, don't use PCSS or CHS ever regardless of the GPU brand. I find "softer" to be the best option, small performance impact and it hides all jaggies

[@pradawrist]

how do i cap it??

In Story Mode, I still stutter even when capping it to 186 fps, but somehow in Online it doesn't

The reason for lower FPS online had NOTHING to do with your graphics settings. The online game code is extremely unoptimized. The game is extremely CPU limited in online mode even with RTX 3090. I know this because I looked at the actual leaked game source code.

I had a problem, I had a Ryzen 5 and an RTX 3060 12 gb, 16 Ram, and I get only 32 FPS, is rare because the new games like horizon zero dawn etc I can play this games at 4K in ultra settings at 40-50fps, so if GTA V is an older game, how can I have this bad performance? I try everything; VSync off, I change settings to normal, and fps are not hanging at all, it’s like my FPS are blocked. I search for solutions and I update my drivers and nothing… when I change setting for example from normal to high there is no change!
