Hello,

So, I really don't think that my PC is that bad. It's a few years old, but I'm really confused.

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5 6402P @ 2.80GHz
RAM: 8,00GB Single-Channel Unknown @ 1066MHz
GPU: 3071MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z170-A PRO (MS-7971) (U3E1)

So, basically. Whenever I run GTA V, my CPU usage is very high. A few years ago I was able to run it decently without much lag but now I am lagging like crazy. I have litterally put everything possible to the lowest setting ever and it is still not smooth. I do have a 144hz monitor and also a 60hz monitor, I do not know if that affects the FPS. I am just beyond confused because I do not think that my PC is that bad. Yeah, GTA 5 is just insanely laggy for the settings, everything is set to low.

If anyone could give me a hint, it would be very much appreaciated. Thank you so much for reading!

You are really holding your performance back by only having a single stick.
With two sticks you get dual channel and much better performance.

It has to be identical sticks though by the same manufacturer as you cannot generally mix odd RAM sticks.
