I'm curious if your CPU is restricting the GPU or affecting your frame rate. With a Ryzen 7 3800X and an RTX 3060, it's surprising that in games like GTA V you're only getting 43% FPS, especially on a monitor that supports 144Hz at 120fps. Your PC specs look impressive, but it's possible the GPU is handling the workload more than expected.

Are you referring to a 1440p at 120Hz display? How are your CPU and GPU utilization looking? The 3800x resolution shouldn't cause issues on a 3060, and it should handle older titles like GTA V well. Have you tested any other games yet?

I don't have a specific resolution setting, but I'm ready to assist at any resolution you choose.

Refers to 1080p resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. CPU usage stays between 25% and 30%, while GPU utilization approaches 100%. Experienced with similar titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2, achieving comparable performance.

When GPU usage hits 100%, it means the CPU isn’t limiting performance. You’re likely using the default or recommended settings for your system. For the current game, med hi 1080p should run smoothly at 70-80 FPS, with minor drops to around 40 FPS under load. If you’re seeing issues, check the engine version—older DX9 engines may struggle on modern hardware.

Current configuration used. No texture modifications applied that influence frame rate. 43 seems quite limited for this setup.
