My fps drop everytime, highest framerate is 60 fps. I tryed to clear cache, reinstalling fivem and GTA. All Graphic settings are set to low with directx 11. How can i do?

You most likely have some processes running in the background hogging your resources. Try using something like Razer Cortex (Windows 10 has an in-built “Game Mode” but it doesn’t work as well as Cortex does, to my experience).
Make sure VSync is off in GTAV graphics settings, too - that’d limit your FPS to the refreshrate of your screen.
I tried Razer Cortex and it doesn’t works for FiveM, Fps drops when downloading a resource in the map, VSync is off and gpu usage is only 30%… Thanks you for your reply!
It’s normal for FPS to “tank” when downloading streamed assets and there’s nothing you can do to prevent those occassional FPS drops.
BTW, Cortex is not meant to “work with FiveM” - all that app is intended to do is shut down unnecessary processes that hog resources in the background, thus providing more “headroom” for the ones you need - such as the game itself, which you should be able to choose (I haven’t used Cortex in a long while myself so don’t really know what the options there are like)
Judging by your CPU usage, you have something running in the background that takes a lot of its power.
I have an i7-7700 (the standard one, not the K one) and a 1070ti and my FPS hovers around the 100 mark in 1440p on FiveM with semi-random and fairly rare dips to 50-60 when loading streamed assets, larger MLOs in particular. There’s no way your rig, which is more powerful than mine, has that big of a decrease in frame draw times unless it’s being heavily used by something else besides the game.
Oh and yeah, forgot to mention - make sure your Windows and GPU drivers are up-to-date.
First off, you had a lower end of mid-tier, nowhere close to a high-tier PC.
Second. I have a mid tier laptop which was experiencing some loss with 4K, changing it to 1080p and dropping shadows made the game run over 100 FPS. Check that you’re not running in 4K, and check your shadow settings. If that doesn’t fix it, you have another issue going on (are you using your discrete GPU? Are you running processes in the background? Are you playing on a heavily modded server?). You’re not high end by far but you should be running at 50-60FPS without loss fairly easily with the right settings with your setup.
No it isn’t. Any repro for that? I’m noticing no impact on FPS at all on any system I have locally when downloading a bundle of random map assets I found on the forums, even with status display enabled, or the download speed throttled so downloading takes even longer.
Here’s an example streamed asset that causes FPS drops in different environments (see below)
*Note - I have several custom YMAP files to remove certain trash piles, bins and benches around the building, as well as a custom 100-ish object YMAP file to add gates and fencing to the parking area at the side of the building.
1.) Localhost server with me being the only client - when approaching the area, there is an “almost freeze” (drop to ~10 FPS for around 0.5 seconds)
2.) External server (avg. ping is 55-60), same area - a visually longer drop in FPS, no exact times though.
This happens only on first download, later, when the asset is cached, there is no performance impact whatsoever in or around said area.
Here’s some of my rig details which may help:
i7-7700, 1070ti, 16GBs of RAM @ 2133 MHz. GTAV and FiveM installed on a 7.2k RPM HDD. 100 mbps connection (average download speed is 10 MB/s). When running local server + client CPU usage fluctuates near the 70% mark, RAM no more than 10GBs occupied.
LMK if you need more details and I’ll add them as soon as I can
Edit: I am not the only person with the FPS drop issue with this particular MLO and YMAPs. Two other people (with very different PCs and ping) have tried, so far, on the same server, and they all said they had dips in frame draw times when entering the vicinity of the modified building.
I too think I’m being bottlenecked by the hard drive there more than anything, but still - one of the other guys testing it has FiveM and GTAV on an SSD and he still has this issue (albeit it’s much less noticeable, I imagine lol)
Feel free to reach out to me if you need more information on this matter.
Actually, I just had an idea - there’s not nearly enough space on my 120GBs SATA SSD for GTAV (it houses my OS, mainly), but I can easily fit FiveM there.
Would it be worth the hassle to maybe help reduce the lag?
