extremely slow frame rate in GTX 1070 when playing GTA V at lowest settings
I say it in a sarcastic way, but I actually have a big sample size, a massive Steam library, and I've played many games on Xbox. One of the games I play is GTA V, which could be quite relevant to this topic. But thank you for giving an example of a game that drops FPS when ping is high, rather than being too contentious or not helpful at all.
First of all, no need to re-post topics. But it's all good that you did once. Second of all, your CPU is NOT bottle-necking your GPU. It can, but that's not what's happening right now. As I mentioned before, I have almost your exact PC specs and my GTA 5 runs very well. And I game in 1440p. But I do get 46-57 fps in the city randomly though and it has a lot to do with multiple things, including RAM speed.
The fps you are getting is normal where you are located in the game in that video and since you are playing the game online, the more people in your lobby, the lower fps you will get, especially in the city. However, I want to check to see if that 15% GPU usage is in fact GPU usage. Outside of the game, pull up MSI Afterburner. Click on the Monitoring tab. Then take a couple of screenshots of what you see, just like I have done here.
Keep in mind that what you see here is going to look different than mine because I have this all sorted out like I want it. Screenshot it anyway.
To easily do screenshots, press the windows key + shift + S key on your keyboard(a new windows feature) and drag exactly what you want to show on the screen. A little thing will pop up on the right side of your screen when you let go of the mouse button after dragging. Click on the little thing that pops up and then click on the save button in the top right corner of your screen, rename it to what you wish and now you can post it here.
You may need to take more than just 2 screenshots to show all the "in OSD" settings. Don't leave any out if they are at the bottom of the list. Once you do this, we can move on to the next step. One of which I will show you that you can already achieve higher fps than 40 without changing anything at all.
Excellent. Now proceed to verify Power, RAM Usage, Frametime, and CPU temperature (if available). After that, tap on each of these four options in the OSD, as you should be familiar with. Once done, apply the settings and return here. I'll then inform you about the next steps.
