Seeking assistance with game performance issues – frequent stutters occurring on a powerful computer.
Hello everyone, approximately one year ago I assembled a fresh computer because my previous system was severely outdated. It features an i5 8600k processor paired with an RTX 2070 graphics card, along with 16GB of DDR4 RAM at 3000MHz and a 650W power supply unit. I've been enjoying games like Destiny 2, Anthem, Black Ops 3, Mortal Kombat 11, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Far Cry New Dawn, and Rage 2 without any noticeable performance issues. However, after acquiring Forza Horizon 3 and Grand Theft Auto V, both games are exhibiting stuttering behavior – specifically, the CPU temperature spikes to the high nineties while frame rates drop, followed by a brief period of smooth gameplay before repeating. I’m feeling somewhat lost and would appreciate guidance on how to resolve this. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
He is talking about 90% usage on the CPU not thermals,since the 2070 is quite a strong card his CPU gets maxed out.

Operating at 90 degrees Celsius? You require improved PC cooling or a more effective cooler.
He’s discussing CPU utilization—specifically 90% usage—rather than thermal performance, as the 2070 is a powerful card and his processor reaches its maximum capacity.
GTA V loading times:
* Do not attempt this; Rockstar bans players for modifying game threads.
The game utilizes its primary thread with high priority, **
which compels Windows to suspend secondary processes until the main process completes… because it’s a game, the primary task doesn't conclude until you exit the game, and since the primary thread relies on data from secondary tasks to proceed, you experience issues such as extended loading times, texture problems, stutters, or slowdowns.
* Conversely, reducing FPS with a limiter (similar to how a less powerful GPU would naturally operate) will cause the main thread to pause more frequently, avoiding the constant need to match the GPU’s output and achieving the same outcome.
This applies similarly to Forza; all Forza titles exhibit this issue.
On a two-core processor, the problem is so pronounced that GTA V loading times are excessively long while the game manages to initiate gameplay at some point.
