Not really. There are only a handful of locations where you'll get hit hard. The boardwalk and the shopping plaza are the only ones that I can think of.

Not sure why you mean? Like background windows applications?

In terms of programs I only have steam and MSI afterburner open.

Not for me.  I have a 6700k And the load is around ~70%, even on high settings.  I think it's more dependent on GPU because I have a 980 Ti and I get okay frames as it doesn't utilize my CPU that much.

 

Happy new years

MSAA x2, mostly very high / high settings.  According to Core Temp, my loads are around 50-60%.  I also use v-sync because without it, it stutters.  Battlefield 1 and other games I don't need it and I get good frames with around 90-100% load

That's normal for 4C 4T CPU's if you turn everything up to max in GTA V, it's the reason I'm going to upgrade to a 7700k cause GTA V (plus a couple of other games) is important enough to me to justify the spend.

That's because the 6700k has just enough CPU horsepower to un-bottleneck GTA V with everything turned up.
