Why Are My GTA Online Frames Dropping on a 1650 GTX?

-

I’ve recently jumped back into GTA Online after not playing for a while. My computer used to run the game really smoothly, getting around 60-70 frames per second, but now I’m only hitting 30-50 frames, especially when I’m in the city or busy areas. I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with my computer or if the game has changed in recent updates. Any insights would be appreciated!

It’s common to see lower framerates in populated areas, especially in public lobbies. I notice my frames can drop by about 20% when there are more players around. Since you’re on the Enhanced version, have you tried tweaking any graphics settings? That could make a difference.

I’m running everything on normal or low except for shader quality, which is high. I’ve also cranked the population density and variety to the lowest. Still no improvement.

Are you running the Enhanced or Legacy version? I’ve found that sometimes reverting to Legacy can help, but it sounds like you’re already trying both. Just remember that FPS can take a hit in busy areas with lots of activity.

Honestly, your setup might struggle a bit with the Enhanced version. If you haven’t already, check your graphics settings and maybe lower a couple more to see if that helps at all.
