Issues with GTA 5 running smoothly on a high-end machine.
Hi there, welcome! I see you're experiencing some performance issues in GTA 5. Let's try to figure this out together. You mentioned a high-end system with a GTX 980 i7-4790k and 16GB RAM, but the CPU usage is high while the GPU stays low. No background apps are running, yet the game still lags. Even at lower settings or when reducing resolution to 800x600, it keeps stuttering. Could you check if any updates are available for the game or your graphics drivers? Also, ensure no other resource-heavy programs are using significant memory or CPU.
Are your drivers current? Is there any thermal throttling occurring?
Turn off the sli and check if a single GPU can reach full capacity.
GTA is facing issues with the latest Nvidia graphics cards. Wait a bit and see if they resolve. Switching DirectX to 10.1 boosted my frame rate by roughly 15.
Adjusting graphics options doesn't affect CPU load. Open Task Manager, raise GTA5.exe priority to high and launcher to low. Avoid playing your own music. Ensure no virus scan is running. No other suggestions available.
Hello! Here are some key points to consider:
- Focus on the latest drivers for your system.
- Verify your CPU and GPU temperatures are within safe limits.
- Identify the motherboard model and the display resolution you're using.

GPU performance remains around 50% with ongoing stuttering. 10.1 is active but issues persist. CPU load stays near 85%. Music playback isn't utilizing resources, and antivirus isn't running.
