Hello,

I have seen some benchmarks on youtube on some games I play with my specs, (only cpu and GPU) and it runs properly for them but for me games seem to underperform. And weirdly enough, not all games. CSGO, fortnite, Cod I get fps above my refresh rate (144hz) but on GTA5 it seems to be another story, and i think the problem is my GPU usage, it always hovers around 40-60% causing me to get low fps. I have prefer maximum performance on the control panel, have downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers, tried overclocking, increasing the voltage, but nothing seems to work. I would greatly apreeciate any help given
Specs:

GTX 1060 3gb
Ryzen 5 1600
16gb 2133Mhz RAM
500GB SSD
1TB HDD
 
Solution
Low GPU usage might be ok if the settings are low.
Also for me at least GTA V would run very bad with one XMP profile while it ran much better with a different one,it was the only game that had a problem with it.
Also GTA V has wildly different performance from one spot to the next so only compare your performance in the exact same spot as the videos you have seen.
