Did anyone find a way how to fix it?
I have horrible tearing when I cap my FPS at 30, and I have HORRIBLE stuttering when I cap it at 60 (the tearing is then less intense, or isn't visible at all).

My rig is: GTX 960, i5-4690k, 8GB Ram. Driver is GTA V Game ready driver (with W3 drivers my whole system crashed many times, even when browsing with Chrome.)

Forcing Vsync didn't help, apparently only thing that helps is higher FPS, but since I can't lock it, the microsttuter is unbearable.

My game worked nice with W3 drivers, but since it crashed my system while browsing with stock or OC clocks, i couldn't keep using it.


Please help, this is really destroying my experience with the game :(

Ryudo47: My problem has been the run away train that is the Frames Per Second. In gameplay, I'm doing smooth high 50's, then drops to low 20's for reasons I can't explain. Then in the in-game conversations, the frame rate goes from the high 50's to mid teens.

All the settings on low don't help this. I just don't understand. I'm 99.9% certain it's the driver or optimization of the game cause this has literally never happened to me, and I own 210+ steam games, with lots of next gen titles too.

Edit: I'm taking a few hours break from the game as I write this cause the FPS rocket ride is giving me eye strain.

Jamie.monro: I'm not sure about your hardware, but i've noticed that this can happen in several cases with my AMD R9 280x

-GPU crash, then recovery: Despite the fact the GPU 'recovered' from the crash, the performance usually drops to less than half until I reboot it.

-GPU overheat: With my card if the temperature of the voltage regulators, or GPU gets too high it will throttle the card's performance, only restoring normal frame rates ones the GPU has dropped below a certain temperature threshold.

Perhaps this wont help, but monitor the GPU temperatures while in game; I highly recommend GPU-Z since it can also monitor GPU load and clock rate so that you can see when the GPU is throttling.
Again thank you for that great info, I have DLed GPU-Z and got fantastic info on my graphic card, you can even look up your card online and get very detailed info. GPU-Z itself works like a charm.
You are very fast becoming my favorite go to person here :D
I also found this review, from the guys at Techpowerup (makers of GPU-Z) for those who want to see more about graphics cards and fps and stuff:
