Hi so I was playing GTA 5 yesterday with my RTX 3070 at high settings and turned down some options to get more fps but even then my fps fluctuates to 60 to 100~ ? idk why its happening and im pretty sure i should be getting more than that right? idk if im bottlenecking or what but i've watched a youtube video and the guy was getting atleast 100+ fps with a 3070?

My system specs are:

Ryzen 3600
RAM Tridentz 3600mhz cl16
RTX 3070
2x SSD 250GB and 1TB
ASUS B450F Gaming Motherboard
Seasonic GOLD 550W PSU (I know I should get a higher wattage psu with the GPU I have, it will be my next investment)

You have nothing wrong with your system, it is just that GTA V is not optimized for newer hardware, I have the same issue with my 3700X + 3070, I noticed that when the fps drops occur, the GPU usage will drop to 40%, this only happens with GTA, all the other titles run perfectly fine.
Hmm, i've seen on some videos tho, someone has same hardware as me but has around 90+ fps in ultra settings at 1080p
