Hello world. I'm having really low FPS in GTA V. I've tried everything, Even at minimum settings I'm only getting 35-40 FPS while at 1080p w/ Ultra settings I get 15-25. What could be the issue? System Specs below:

AMD FX-8350 @ 4.5 GHz
MSI 970 Gaming MOBO
16 GB G.Skill Sniper @ 2133 MHz
Radeon R9 380 4 GB GPU @ 1020 MHz

All OCs tested stable and under max recommended temps. RAM is at 53% usage whild playing GTA V.
 
CPU is running 32 degrees minimum and 67 degrees maximum at 100% load in Prime95, seems to average at about 52-65 degrees. GPU stays around 50 degrees. I tried overclocking in MSI Afterburner but the Core Voltage is locked and the OC settings always revert to factory specs, so it's running 990 MHz now. Still really bad FPS. Could it be my GPU not operating at 100%?
 
It's the original GPU, I adjusted some in game settings and changed my power settings in Windows, now I'm running everything at Very High settings and getting a steady 60 fps. I did have 2 really quick FPS drops down to 18 fps, but they only lasted a couple of seconds.
