Odd problem with GTA5

[thecremeegg]

So I've done a fresh install of Windows 10 10162 and installed GTA5. I forgot to backup my single player save so started again at the Snowy bit. It runs amazingly well, no stuttering, max settings pretty much etc.

However, once I finish this into sequence and get to the part where you steal the car with Franklin, the performance dives to unplayable
It's like the textures are struggling to load in and causing the FPS to plummet to single figures.

I'm running an SSD and performance was fine on the same Windows build using old drivers. Any ideas what could be causing it?

Thanks for replies guys. Running at 1920 x 1200, Very high on pretty much everything bar the advanced options. AA is set to off currently and V-Sync on.

With these exact settings (in fact even higher on some!) on the standard 15.5/6 drivers then it worked fine (over 60fps constatnly) but I thought I'd try the new Win 10 drivers that everyones raving about!

It's literally like it's streaming the world in as I'm on that bit if that makes sense? It stutters and chugs horribly!

Try installing this Windows 10 driver.. So far this is the best one.

I'll try that later, see what happens

I changed drivers last night (Win 8.1 from 15.5 to a modded one) and GTA V became REALLY slow and choppy. Took me a couple of restarts and checking settings to notice that VSync had somehow enabled itself in the game. Changed that to a "no" and I'm back to a nice, smooth 55-65FPS in normal gameplay (which I'm quite happy about given the resolution and settings I run at). Might be worth just double checking that VSync hasn't enabled itself in the in-game settings.

I always have V-Sync on as I always get worse performance with it off in GTA for some reason?

I might try and post a video later actually as it's a really odd effect that I've never seen in a game before!
