I wouldn't think so. There are alot of videos on youtube that has the 1050 variant and a weaker cpu and they are getting better frames than mine. The only difference is their GPU usage is at 99 while I'm sitting at the 50-60 threshold. Take a look at this.

Hello everyone, I've recently bought GTA 5 because I saw that it was running smoothly on other laptops with the same specs as mine. I downloaded it and played it; only to be disappointed. I never get those frames that I saw no matter the settings (I tried the lowest setting, with the lowest resolution, still no difference) so I tried monitoring it with MSI afterburner. To my surprise, the GPU usage was very low and there were only 2 cores that were going above 70%. Whenever the GPU usage goes high, my framerates will also gain a few and vice versa. I tried this with my other games (Dota 2, CS:GO) and the GPU usage was also low but I was not surprised because those games are not demanding GPU wise. I hope you can help me fix this problem. If it were CPU bottleneck, what can I do to improve it? I play plugged in. I have tried: • Clean install of Graphics Card • Updating basically everyting (BIOS, Audio Drivers, Display Drivers, etc.) • Disabled HPET • Tweaked NVIDIA Control Panel (Prefer Maximum Performance, Single Display Mode) • Clean install of Windows 10 • Reinstalled the game • Undervolted the CPU and disabled Turbo • Power Settings on High Performance • Diabled VSync in game and forced it in NVIDIA • Disabled all anti-aliasing setting Laptop Specs: ASUS ROG GL553VE Intel Core i7-7700HQ NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti 16GB DDR4 RAM 128GB SSD + 1000GB HDD Disabled Turbo, -0.100V Undervolt With Turbo, No undervolt Thanks!
