I have been facing lag issue in GTA5 on PC, i wud like to add that my pc meet the recommended requirements mentioned by the game but still i face lag after like 30-35 minutes of game play.

Only resolution i have found is to restart the game but that fixes the lag only for another 20-30 minutes and again the terrible lag is back again.

any help is appreciated.

processor -i5 3570k
ram -8gb
graphicCard -amd 7850 2gb

are you using vsync? if so try following these steps:

once the lag starts (and only once the lag starts)

go to settings

disable vsync - apply setting

then reenable vsync - apply setting

fps should be back to normal

What are your settings? And what frame rates are you showing?

my settings are the default set by gta 5 itself
(on resolution was changed to 1600x900 from ~1300x768)


on benchmark test within the game i get avg fps of 50

lag is revealing after 30-35 minutes of gameplay.

do like i said,play the game. when the lag starts, disable vsync, apply setting. then reenable vsync, and apply setting again. your fps should go back to normal until you quit the game. unfortunately you will have to do this everytime it happens until Rockstar fixes the application.

what kind of "lag" is it? (i hate this word by the way)

are you getting fps drops, or some kind of internet lag on the online portion?

I'm currently doing Story Mode and there is a FPS Drop, the only reliable way I've found is to restart the game which gives me another 20-25 minutes of lag free gameplay..

Any chance the default settings are putting your textures on high/veryhigh? I've never tried them so I'm unfamiliar with how they react in this particular game.
