Question GPU only running at 1-3% when playing games

I was playing GTA after a while and noticed extreme frame problems. I looked at task manager and saw that my CPU was being used at 80-95% and my GPU was being used at 1-3%. Is my CPU just bottlenecking it (it's an i5 4590 and my GPU is a 1060 3GB)? I thought that the GPU seemed too low even if it was bottlenecking, but I don't know anything about it.

Edited for entire specs:

CPU: i5 4590
Motherboard: Z97 PC Mate
HDD: WD 1TB
GPU: GTX 1060 3GB
PSU: I honestly don't remember but I've never had a problem with power. I think 445W? could be totally wrong
Chassis: Rosewill full tower case, I don't remember the specific model
OS: Windows 10
