I'm experiencing issues with GTA 5 on my PC, which has an Intel Core i5-6500 processor. While driving in the game, my FPS drops, causing lag and freezing, despite my system meeting what I believe are the game's requirements. I've tried following several optimization videos, but nothing seems to help. Can anyone provide some insight or solutions?

It sounds like your issue might be related to using integrated graphics. The Intel Core i5-6500 has integrated graphics which can struggle with demanding games. If you have a dedicated graphics card, make sure your monitor is connected to it, not the motherboard. That could resolve a lot of your performance issues.
That could be due to a few factors, like different graphics settings, or the laptop might be handling resources better. Every system behaves differently based on how it's set up.
First off, can you tell us what other specs your PC has? It’s important to know about your RAM and graphics card because those can really impact performance, especially in a demanding game like GTA 5.

But what about my laptop? It has lower specs but doesn't drop FPS while driving. How can that be? That's really confusing!
