    What settings are you playing on? Does it choke after certain events or randomly? Seen people online saying their fps dives in mountains or flying.

    270X should be enough on Mid-High settings. Turn off shadows or AA and see if there's any change

    Quick google says drops are common when driving, Vsync seems to help. After that, I haven't a clue. Best of luck with it

    But the drops are so bad it's not playable. I guess i'll just have to wait for a fix.

    I have the new beta drivers and they are optimized for gta could this be some sort of memory leak problem?

    Seems it's definitely your end. Has been reported stuttering now and again but not so much someone would say unplayable.

    do you have the steam version?

    Verify the game cache.

    List your settings.

    For what it's worth: 4790K / 970. I'm usually around 90 FPS or so, but I've seen drops as low as 40 while driving around.

    There is wide reports of some dropping. but not in the making it unplayable department.

    Seen some having memory leakage issue due to some ssd setting.

    Its something up with the game op,needs a patch. I also had terrible stuttering and thought I had it fixed but that was short lived, but when I tried the following it worked.

    I upped my virtual memory pagefile to 15000 mb and I know this sounds crazy but I read online from users with similar problems that when you go to in game settings\ advanced settings and switched the 3 options to on, for me, it helped massively. I left the slider thing at 0 but just switched on the long shadows, high res shadows and high detail streaming. I thought this would choke my game but gave it a shot anyway. Now it seems a lot smoother, still not perfect but big improvement. I'm not sure if it was the virtual memory change or the advanced settings that did the trick so just try both.

    BTW I'm playing on an I5 3570k @4.2GHz, 8GB ram and a R9 290 @1100MHz core / 1400Mhz memory
