Game running at 20 FPS May 31, 2017 17:33:54 GMT

Hi...i'm not an expert at all for this kind of things but today i checked my in game FPS for the first time (i play GTA from almost 2 years) and i realized that the game runs at average 20 FPS (even less when i'm racing).
I never checked cos never had big frame rate problems and the game seems to run ok. Also i'm not lagging.
First thing i checked the graphic settings and changed some values to a lower level as suggested from websites and blog i checked but i have still the same problem.
Is this can affect my speed at racing?
Is there something i can do? I just read in one blog that could be a graphic device drivers problem so i could update it.
Or maybe my graphic card is not good enough?

This are my PC specifics:

ASUS desktop PC K30AD_M31AD_M51AD series
INTEL (R) CORE (TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHZ
8,00 GB memory
AMD RADEON HD 8570

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

I managed to bring the FPS at 40 lowering everything in the in-game graphic options,disabling steam overlay (but don't seem to have an impact),upgrading graphic device drivers and disabling antivirus and firewall (also this seems to have no impact).
Now FPS is average 40 and the game looks like s...
Is there anything else i can try to do?
Also,if there's no another option, i could also buy a graphic card..
Thanks

You can make the game look even uglier (but with more FPS). There's a file called "settings.xml" somewhere in your GTA folder.
Might be under your Documents -> Rockstar Games -> GTA V or similar.
Make a copy of this settings.xml file, for being able to revert it to its former state.

Edit the file with Editor/Notepad or any other Text editor. (Not Word or something like that)
Change the line

    <ShadowQuality value="1" />

(it may be 1, 2 3 or any other number)
to

    <ShadowQuality value="0" />

Now enjoy the shadowless GTA San Andreas style. You'll have many more FPS.
