yes no crashing with 436.15. Fixing the issue is probably on back burners as GTA 6 is in development.

they said they are working on fixing it, they are aware of the issue... no backburner...

Hi all,

I have the same issue, the game keeps crashing while on story mode (did not finish the game yet), never crashed during booting only when playing around 30 minutes into the game especially during missions. this issue has been occurring to me since I bought my PC three months ago.

Download that driver, uninstall current driver and use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in safe mode and then install the driver you want.

I wonder if its newer GPUs that are affected? The only time it crashes on my 970 and 980 is if the clocks are not stable. I find that even if I can pass benchmarks and stress tests like in 3dmark, I usually have to drop a few MHz on the core. for GTA. Also, I have used newer drivers, but right now I am using the driver set that win update gave me, which is 388.13. I don't play the newest games, but the newer ones that I do have run just fine with this dusty code. I didn't have a problem with newer drivers, just don't need them yet..

My 970 is the original ftw with the 6+6 power. I bought it used.. and if I oc it, or try to monitor temps with something like afterburner, it completely shits itself and will not run its default clocks, and will drop down into the 900s. But if I leave it alone, and just use aida64, its fine, and runs a solid 1400 core. I hate that card, but it works good if you just use it.


Also using the most current version of win 10.


Anywhoo, sorry for the ramble..

Game is still crashing, but delay is pretty longer now: around 2 hours instead of 20-30 min as before.

And crush now generate application error log (see attachments)

I’m also having a peculiar issue with gta 5 after I upgraded both my psu (good old’ wide tech 750w psu to a cooler master mve white 750) and gpu (gtx 570 to rx 580). I was having issue earlier when I just upgraded my gpu alone. The old psu was replaced tonight.
I was originally having issues loading all gpu intense games - they were either crashing or freezing right away). I knew the psu was old so bought a new one.

After now replacing the psu and other games working ok, gta still crashes to desktop. I think something is up with the new launcher due to read dead 2...

Looks like this problem isn't related to new launcher 'cause I faced it before update (on the old launcher version).
Btw, issue was fixed for me with driver version 441.2

i think 1400 is not bad for a GTX 970 if its stable-dont confuse with peeps saying running all day on 1500 but crashes under lightest real load

i had this problem, and it was so severe that gtaV would crash every 15 minutes. i though it was afterburner, and hwinfo together... updated the drivers, ran the gtx1660ti at stock... nothing helped. so i then erased GTAV and reinstalled it. it seemed to help... but i still had problems, but greatly reduced...
then i googled the problem found out there was an issue, got bored, left it due to the holidays...
FASTFOWARD (lol)

after GTAV was updated, (steam) ... i have had no problems so far.
gtx1660ti is overclocked to 2115boost, 7000 mem (afterburner ) custom watercooled ... no problems.
so it seems that the problems have gone after the latest GTAV update.

so yes it is fixed...IMO

Unfortunately, I'm not so sure it's fixed. I just purchased the game this past Saturday (3-7), and upon installing have only been able to get a few minutes past the loading screen until a complete freeze occurs. I would say this has happened a total of 15 times within the past two days. I've re-installed, switched to studio driver over the up-to-date gaming driver (MSI GTX-1080), lowered GTAV settings in game, checked GPU performance via Afterburner. While the heat doesn't seem to pose an issue, I do notice once the game boots up, there's a large spike in the GPU frequency. I admit I'm new to PC gaming, but was lead to believe the 1080 should be able to handle most anything 2019 or before w/o OC.
I need to also note that while I've had an issue with games crashing sporadically (sometimes once every two weeks), GTAV has crashed every time I've attempted to play it.
One thing that I've wondered and haven't seen mentioned here, is if the problem could lie within the Steam Launcher?
Thought I would try posting before I request a refund.
Thanks in advance for any possible advice.

Try an older driver version, such as this one available here:


Yes GTX1080 should be able to handle any game up to 1440p resolution with reduced gfx settings here and there.
Oh and while you don't need to use Display driver uninstaller (DDU), it is recommended when there are possible issues with current driver.

Wow... that was quick! I'll give it a go. Thank you for the advice as well as the note on uninstalling. I had previously assumed I was "overwriting" any previous installation when downloading through Nvidia Geforce. That's on me.

Quick update:
Successfully removed Nvidias studio mode driver via DDU in safe mode, and attempted to install the aforementioned recommendation (431.60). Much to my dismay, it appears my MSI GTX 1080 is incompatible(ignorant of me not to verify that detail, but I wasn't aware). I then quickly repeated the process with DDU (as a precaution), and proceeded to install Nvidias newest driver (442.50) in hopes that perhaps a deep clean may solve an issue. Sadly, it did not. I'm guessing it may just come down to either 1) waiting for an update that patches or 2) attempting different older drivers in hopes of getting lucky. If anyone else has any additional ideas, I'm open to hear em'.

Do you use a pagefile? If not that might be your issue, it was with mine and amd setup. I use custom.

431.60 driver is compatible with your card, it's from June 2019. The card is from 2016.
Maybe you downloaded mobile driver? You should get the first one on that list or the last one if you use windows 7.
Don't forget to remove all nvidia software, not just the driver.

You could try a bit newer one, just avoid those that have GTA V listed in "Known issues" or "Windows 10 issues" section.
436.15 is the newest i'd get for troubleshooting purposes.

You can get more drivers here from TPU as well
Just click on "Show more versions" on the left side. They also have release notes for each driver
