| + | ====== GTA 5 Performance ====== | ||
| + | Let's start with info about GTA 5 performance.\\ | ||
| + | GTA 5 is really CPU and RAM hungry, many people believe it's not optimized at all, it's not reacting to PC upgrades as much as other games, it can load 4-core CPU to 100% and require more, it can allocate 12GB ram easily, but we still love it and want big and stable FPS, so let's try to get it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Reasons of stuttering ===== | ||
| + | The 2 main reasons of stuttering is: **data loading** and **background CPU usage**.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Tricks to optimize data loading (in order of effect): ==== | ||
| + | - buy more RAM | ||
| + | - optimize your pagefile | ||
| + | - if you have SSD - configure pagefile only on SSD | ||
| + | - if you have only HDD - configure pagefile with fixed size and move it to beginning of disk | ||
| + | - defragment and sort your data | ||
| + | - disable shader cache | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Tricks to optimize CPU usage: ==== | ||
| + | - increase game process priority | ||
| + | - shut down as much background processess as possible | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | Let's talk about each trick. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Buy more RAM === | ||
| + | Seriously, this game can commit 12GB of memory for it needs, so easiest way is to fill your PC with an additional RAM. The more RAM you have - the better your game experience is. Start with 16GB, but if you can afford more - buy more. Windows will precache all free memory with data it read frequently, basically preload your game data. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Optimize your pagefile === | ||
| + | So what pagefile is? It's a file on your disk that's using as ' | ||
| + | |||
| + | == So what problems pagefile can have? == | ||
| + | - it can be fragmented | ||
| + | - it can be not in the beginning of your HDD | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Deeper into pagefile problems == | ||
| + | Your pagefile can be fragmented, in other words it can be splitted and allocated in different areas of your HDD. HDD in fact is bunch of magnetic discs rotating at very high speeds (7200 RPM usually) and by it nature data allocated near beginning (center) of disc can be read at higher rates. So you want your pagefile to be defragmented (as a single series of data) and closer to beginning.\\ | ||
| + | Non-fixed size of pagefile makes it fragmented, because when it changing it size - it allocates currently free zone of your disk, and it can be not near already allocated zones for your pagefile.\\ | ||
| + | In order to prevent this **you need to set up your pagefile as fixed size, defragment your disk and move pagefile to beginning of disk**.\\ | ||
