Important parts

What is the issue you’re having?
So, this have been an issue for the past 2 months.
The issue involves consistent stutter and frame drops for various users on different servers.
I have ran profilers aswell as resmon to make sure it’s not a server sided issue. I have also done a spec check on 2 different PC’s getting the same issue. (You can find the documentation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FiveM/comments/q8ocwx/stutter_and_lag_on_gpucpu_drop/ )

Upon trying to find a fix for this I’ve found several different threads regarding the same issue starting to surface around the same time, but no solution:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FiveM/comments/pn1zvh/sudden_stuttering_when_gpu_usage_drops/

What are you trying to do?
Play without FPS/GPU/CPU drops and Windows API call error.

What have you tried already to fix the issue?
-Reinstall Fivem
-Reinstall GTAV
-Optimize NVIDIA settings
-Set FiveM priority to ‘high’
-Update Windows
-Disable all overlays (steam, discord, teamspeak etc.)
-Disable background recording software (Medal and Shadowplay)

Error screenshot (if any):

What did you do to get this issue?
Update FiveM 2ish months ago.

I have recorded a ETW from running down the street while this lag is happening aswell to ease with debugging this issue.
