Oh I see! Nice one thanks. Yeah it seems like it's say the GPU is in fact too weak for the CPU. It's just weird how my CPU can be at 55% and my GPU at 18% and I'm getting 45fps. I'm determined to fix this somehow though as it really does affect my experience in game. If I could get my game to run at 55-60 constantly it'd be an absolute game changer for me. Some of my friends play games at like 40-45fps and say "I don't see or feel a difference" but I do and as pathetic as it might sound it really bugs me when a game doesn't run at at least 60fps as it feels choppy. Anyway thanks for the help everyone and I'll try to get saving for an upgrade

I will try this configuration out shortly and let you know, thank you very much

How you can tell? My CPU never goes above 60%. I'm not super clued up about all this stuff. I found this online and did a test with my hardware. https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/0LU0VZ/1/general-tasks/1920x1080/

Yes I think you're right as when I am at Del Perro Pier and look out to sea or at the beach I get a solid 60fps but when I turn to look a bit further where all the buildings are that is when it now drops to 45 but I think I've managed to find a decent balance. Thanks for the help Shadow

Thank you for your reply, I did consider the fact that it might be because of all the extra items, interiors and modifications but the part I found strange is that my GPU was at around 15-20% usage and my CPU was at around 50% and RAM around 70% so it didn't seem like any of my hardware was causing a bottleneck. I've managed to fix it in a way by putting all settings on low and just using MSAA to force the GPU to take on more of the load (it'll stay around 90-95%) and give me 58-61fps in Legion but it seems that it'll be smooth in the city but then when I go up North it will dip under a certain threshold and dip my GPU use again to 15-20% with an FPS of around 35-40. It feels like the GPU isn't receiving enough load until I ramp up some settings to make it use more of it's power but then of course one setting that works in a populated area will then be ineffective in a more remote area. GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4gb) Processor - AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor 3.00 GHz Installed RAM - 16.0 GB (DDR3 I think) I play at 1920x1080 - 60Hz These are my current settings but I am constantly tweaking them so I wouldn't class these as "accurate": Thanks again for taking the time to help me with this. It is very much appreciated

Issue Being Reported: Low GPU usage and FPS Date and Time of Issue (GMT): 20/08/2024 - 2:42AM Account Name: BillDryden Evidence and/or notes worth mentioning: When I launch GTA Story or Online Mode via Steam my GPU usage is like 35%-95% and the game is smooth and stays around 55-64 fps no matter where I go and without stutters. However when I play on the server via RageMP my GPU usage is like 15% and out in the countryside I get 55-60fps but in the city I get like 30-38fps and my GPU is still only 15%. I did notice that RageMP uses a different .exe than the normal GTA V game so I wondered if this could be the issue? My game is SO smooth in normal GTA but as soon as I use Rage it horrible and choppy and isn't using my GPU fully. I would appreciate any ideas people have and I have already tried so many things but this is really ruining my experience in the server so it'd be amazing if I could fix it. I see people streaming and on other RageMP servers and their gameplay is smooth as butter so I'm hopeful it can be fixed. Thanks in advance, Bill Dryden
