GTA V Performance

[Woah Boy]

Alright so I'll get straight to the point, ive recently upgraded my pc to be future proof, I had a setup of fx 6300 and r7 250x 1GB , and i played Ark Survival and GTA V as my two most demanding games, my new pc which is a g4560 and 1050 2gb run ark better but Gta worse, i get a constant 99 - 100% cpu usage and texture pop in accompanied by massive lag unless i set it to high priority, which then makes all my other applications lag and its really bothering me, is there any fix for this or did i actually downgrade?

G4560 and a 1050 is very far from future proof.

There's no such thing as future proof.

 

It's not too surprising though, is it? The CPU only has 4 threads, and the card you have only has 2GB of video memory.

What settings are you trying to run at?

I was referring to being able to upgrade to something better in the future as opposed to being stuck with FX. Im running on a mix of normal, high, its not that i get  bad performance i get constant 55-60 fps but the fact that the fx ran much better on the same settings without the maxed CPU usage and a less powerful GPU

CPU and GPU process different things. The extra cores might have had a better go of it. Honestly though with that GPU I'd be expecting low to medium for a smooth experience. What happens when you lower the settings to that?

[Woah Boy]

When I drop the settings to normal which is as low as gta v gets it still does the same thing, 99 - 100% cpu usage, if you ask me i'd say this g4560 was a extreme downgrade

maybe your games auto-defaulted to using your integrated gpu to game, try checking nvidia control panel and change what graphics card the games are using

wasnt that, im 100% its this CPU

quick research later, yes. The CPU seems to be bottle necking your system. I would advise either decreasing your graphics settings ingame (mostly relating to draw distance and pedestrian variety and pedestrian density {I believe those are the most CPU heavy}) or just upgrading your CPU.

Hyperthreaded i3s and Pentiums are known to choke like hell in GTA.

From all the hype surrounding the g4560 i was sure i was getting somewhat of an upgrade, guess ill go back to AMD budget too tight for Intel

There was never any hype about the G4560 other than being cheap.  Dual cores are obsolete.  Nobody knowledgeable has recommended one for like two years.

i have the same spec but with lower gpu (g4560 + gt 1030), i do play GTA 5 and yes the cpu is at high usage almost everytime and when at 100% the game starts to stutter, my graphic setting is 900p with texture normal and others mixed between high and normal, i get constant 60fps with vsync on, my main problem was the stutter when cpu get high usage. but now since i upgrade my disk system to SSD i almost never get stutter again in GTA5 eventhough i didnt install the game at ssd (only for windows) , the cpu sometimes is still at high usage but i rarely get stutter. My advice for you is to use SSD or lower your graphics settings, especially texture and draw distance they are really affect the performance at least from my experience. I hope you read my comment
