getting bad fps in gta v w/ good computer....

Symptoms of a failing drive would generally be more along the lines of multi-second pauses, and not lowered framerates.

Agreed. A RAM and VRAM (aka GPU RAM) check wouldn't hurt for a few passes. This is a vexing problem.

I still think the GPU may be throttling, whether due to not enough power or something else.

As I mentioned before, I'd use MSI Afterburner/rivatuner and enable the on-sreen display to show the clockspeeds in realtime/onscreen while running the Valley bench to ensure the GPU isn't throttling, to at least rule that out as a possible issue.

The OP is probably testing GTA V at max settings. Not default settings.

Ok that makes sense

I installed msi afterburner. The weird thing is Page file swaps were maxed out?? I have 8gigs of ram and it wasnt using the full ram? Odd? This would make sense considering how much I am hearing the drives spin during the benchmark. Oh and its showing load on the gpu 1020mhz as it should be.

Im testing on whatever the original settings are the game comes up with for my computer/card.

ok so multiplier at 43 (in prime it sits around 38 probably need to do some voltage) However these are the benches:

Frames Per Second (Higher is better) Min, Max, Avg
Pass 0, 34.274940, 92.099487, 78.430809

Ninja edit: Pushed the voltage a bit and got it to sit at 43 mult. Not that much different but certainly hotter. (65c)

And

Those pagefiles though. 8000mb compared to 4000mb for ram? What gives?

 

[Ketchup]

Good results! Not sure about afterburner as I have never used it.

 

[JSt0rm]

ITs almost too good. I wonder if my chip wasnt going into turbo mode before. Getting 2.5x the performance from a 1ghz clock increase? (that wasnt reading at 4.3 under load.)

Anyways I'm happy thanks everyone for your help. MTDEW I owe you a pizza
