Gta 5 PC lag issue
I have been facing lag (FPS drop) issue in GTA5 on PC, I would like to add that my PC meet the recommended requirements mentioned by the game but still I face lag after like 30-35 minutes of game play.
Only resolution I have found is to restart the game but that fixes the lag only for another 20-30 minutes and than the terrible lag is back again.
Any help is appreciated.

I had the same issue, tried many "fixes" out there and only one worked, I found it in a steam forum's post.
So this is only for AMD Graphics Card users which is our case.
I was using the most recent and stable Catalyst Control Center driver version 14.12, you must uninstall that and install the most recent beta Catalyst Control Center driver which is version 15.4, available at AMD's site here.
I also did change GTA 5.exe and GTA 5's launcher to be executable as administrator but I don't think that did change anything.

Check your system for a bitcoin miner.
You probably downloaded GTA V illegaly, and downloaded a bitcoin miner along with it. I know because I did the same. Although I deleted the illegal version and bought an original one, the bitcoin miner was still active on my PC. It was called MDM.exe. About 10 minutes after launching the game it was scheduled to start automatically.
What it does, besides mining for bitcoins, is eat up your GPU load, with as result that your graphics card cannot render the game as it should anymore. I read the solution here: http://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/330e12/mdm_32bit_what_is_it_and_why/
Good luck!
