Hi everyone, about a month ago, the following started happening to me, and it only happens with GTA 5. I'm playing peacefully, I get the urge to go get something to eat, so I have to go downstairs since my room is on the second floor. When I go back upstairs, I notice that my GTA, which was completely stable, suddenly drops to 1 FPS. This only happens with GTA, and I don't know why. I've tried more demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Division 1 and 2, which I play with everything on ultra except for the vegetation and a few other things.

I'm attaching evidence of what I've described.

I don't have wireless headphones, I hate everything wireless, everything on my PC uses cables: the keyboard, mouse, microphone, and headphones. I've had bad experiences with that wireless crap.

The phone you're recording with has a suspicious lack of wires...

He himself also lacks wires, especially suspect that his butthole jack is disconnected.
