GTA V is only using 25% of my cpu

[mizermalice]

I recently started up GTA v figuring that I have good enough specs to run it at a mix of medium-high settings, but when I started playing I noticed a lot of stuttering and drops in frames. I tried putting all the lowest and highest settings, I changed the resolution and it was still stuttering badly. I also noticed when I was driving that buildings and roads would spawn in nearby and some times the road would disappear right when I'm driving on it.

My specs:
Intel quad core i5 4460 @ 3.2 GHz
Gtx 750 ti
G.skill 8gb ram (4x2 1600mhz)
Western digital HDD 7200rpm

There's a bottleneck there, upgrade your CPU. If you check GPU usage, you'll find it at 99%-100%.

How is the CPU bottle necking the GPU?

My bad 😛 Mean't the GPU.

Isn't there a way I can make the game utilize the CPU more?

Lowering resolution/settings will make it more dependent on the CPU, though GTA V is a balanced game. I advise upgrading to the RX 480 when it releases, much better for you.

There is definitely something wrong,the game should easily get your CPU to 80-90% usage.
Don't upgrade anything since that will not change a thing.
