100% CPU Usage while playing GTA V

[aneil1998]

I'm running into this problem where GTA V uses 50% CPU, Steam uses 25% and System uses another 25%. The game becomes completly unplayable, It was working fine yesterday and then today this happened.

 

Specs:-

Intel core i5 3570k @ 4.2 Ghz

MSI GTX 660

MSI Z77-G45 Gaming Motherboard

8GB Kingston HyperX Ram

Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD

Kingston V300 SSD

What system stuff is being used? And could you post pics of the task manager showing the usage, and remember, GTAV likes to use alot of CPU related rendering, which can take a hit depending on what part of the game you are at.

Do it like a pro and use System Restore .

If that doesnt work,  look at the temps and clock while playing and maybe check the performance with a benchmark.

Might be the CPU is clocking down for some reason.

CPU is running at 4.2 Ghz at 72 degrees Celcius with no thermal throttling

do Steam and System only use 50% when you play GTA? is everything normal when the game is not running?

See about killing all unneeded tasks in the list of stuff. I barely have things running during gameplay. This gives me the most performance, and allows me to troubleshoot easier.

Steam uses 25% CPU all the time(even on idle). And system only uses 25% when GTA V is running.

I'm going to try that know. Will post back with results.

I unplugged the ethernet cable and the lag was gone but the CPU was still as 100%. Will do further testing.
