CPU at 100% GPU at 18% In Gta V ultra settings with graphics mod. Does that mean cpu is bottleneck and i need new cpu?

[WolfLoverPro]

It runs gta at around 40fps dropping to 30 sometimes and on task manager my gpu is like 18% and cpu 100& constantly basically

give your specs either we cant tell u ...

CPU seems to be a bottleneck.

I5 4690 ( NOT THE K VERSION

gtx 1060 6GB

8GB RAM DDR 3 1x stick

Friend of mine runs GTA V with much higher GPU usage. She has a 1050 ti and a 4570 so it sounds more like a software issue than bottleneck.

The CPU is quite weak in todays time, but i think your SINGLE stick of ram is more of a problem here. Get the same RAM stick, put it in and then try again.

One core or all cores?

For GTA V you need fast memory, and dual-channel for sure.

But you're not telling that your memory is just at DDR3 1600CL10 or worse, aren't you? I've told you to get another stick, it's cheap.

Are you meaning the form I said about ram? Yeah well i didn’t know what to do since some people said it won’t make a difference and some did. Plus my ram costs a lot for one stick I think it was £34.99 which for 1 stick of my ram is rubbish since it’s slow ddr3. Not expensive but bad value

 Might be cheaper for two sticks of random ram than 1 more stick of the make and model you got.

Used ram is sometimes not the best solution as people often sell bad ram used, but if that can be avoided it might be a solution.  
 

in any case ram is probable bottleneck.  Do you need a new cpu anyway?  Different question.  Will you in the future?  Very likely if you want to play games that aren’t out yet designed for CPUs that have more threads than your cpu has.

Yes, some people told you the 4690 is too weak, it wouldn't have enough threads and so on. I did not.

 

One of the things I don't care about buying 2nd hand is memory - it usually survives every other component. I've got 16gb Vengeance 1600CL9 4x4 several months back for €45 with shipping already included, and Kingston HyperX 1866C10 2x8 for €40, about half a year ago.
