Question Cpu, gpu and games questions

[iamchandave]

Hi so i got an i5 650, gtx 1060, and a 60hz freakin old monitor that i used a hdmi adapter to use it on my gpu. My problem is gta v only runs like max 60 fps and drops to sometimes 30fps ON LOW SETTINGS. What seems to be the problem? Should i buy a new cpu cause its bottlenecking the gpu? Or should i go for a higher hz monitor? And also btw when i check on task manager while playing gta v, my cpu usage is like almost 100% while my gpu is at around 3-4% 😔

It's the CPU causing those FPS dips.

As Wildcard stated - it is your CPU causing your poor performance.
GTA V is a very CPU intensive game and is taxing on modern systems still considering it is over 6 years old.
