Whats your pc?

Can someone shed some light on thsi possible problem?

I recently got a 980 because I wanted better frame rates. GTA for example would run 50-60 FPS with Very High graphics. I noticed I was getting 20 or so FPS so I turned them down, and still getting about 25-30FPS average. Is this normal, or is there something wrong?

This may sound stupid but have you restarted you pc in a while? My 970 does that a lot too and a quick restart usually solves it.

Thank you for your response! Every night, I completely turn my PC off. There is a driver update for my 980, so I will do that, but can a driver update improve FPS by 30-40 FPS? I was getting 50-70 FPS on Very High settings when I first got the card, and I am getting 20-30FPS even after I turned everything down to High and Normal.

No problem. A driver update could have a substantial impact on the way your card runs. After all, Thats how the card talks to you computer and games is through a driver. Its definitely recommended to keep up to data on your drivers. You could have updated to one in the past that hindered your cards performance (happened to me before) or maybe something else is the case. I havent played gta in a few months so they could have messed something up in a recent patch as well.

I updated the graphics driver, and now I am sitting at 60FPS, but when I load the LSPDFR mods, the frames drop to 30-40, so it loosk like all the scripts make the game run worse, but I can't seem to fix it

Ah mods Yeah those mods are probably high unoptimized and untested so I can definitely see those being detrimental to performance.

PCIe 4.0 spec, HBM2 becoming standard, AMD might force Intel/nVidia to develop and produce again. Start saving up now because PC upgrades are coming hard.
