Hi! I recently downloaded GTA V and I've been experiencing stutter and lag. I used to have a problem with textures not loading in but launch option ''--disablehyperthreading'' fixed it. Now I have only stuttering problem left.

My specs:
Pentium G4400, 2 core & 2 thread
(a brand new) 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD 7200rpm
GTX 1050Ti
8GB DDR4 2133mhz RAM
Windows 10

Now, most people will think that my CPU bottlenecking, but even when the CPU is at 80% or lower the game is stuttering like hell. I have all settings on normal and resolution on 900p. So it shouldn't be a hardware problem. I have heard that Win10 makes GTA V stutter. I've tried running on high priority and on Windows 7 compatibility mode but nothing really seems to work. Do you guys know any other tips?

Thanks,
waiting!!
 
Probably the CPU. Video card is OK for the game, RAM is also fine at 8 GB. Usage of the CPU is not really in a relation to how fast it is or how well it's processing the what the game needs. Video quality settings and resolution affect the video card more than the CPU, you can actually test where the issue is by changing resolution. If lowering resolution does not help much, it's a CPU issue.
 
GTA V has a problem with one of the threads,this video shows you what to do,IT IS NOT the same as what you already did, changing the priority of the whole game,that will not help this only changes one single thread in relation to the rest of the threads.
This is an easier to follow fix.

This shows various stages of the fix,various levels of priority for the thread,showing the problems becoming less and less intense.

Thank you, getting a new CPU in the following weeks.
