FPS doesn't change no matter the settings in GTA Online

[Whiffer]

I've got a gtx 1060 3gb, 16gb 2400mhz ram, i7 7700 cpu and no matter the settings I use the fps stays around 70-90. It doesn't seem like a CPU bottleneck, because the usage is only at 30-40%.
Any ideas?

Hi.
is V-Sync enabled ?

70-90fps is bad?

whats settings are u using? also turn off everything in advanced graphics settings

gpu bottlenecked

Every player in 2019 needs 9999999 fps

gpu usage is at 20% max

I tried turning everything off but nothing changes. Even changed resolution to 800x600 but still the same.

Im using a 144hz monitor so im trying to get over 100 fps atleast

Over 100 fps with a 3gb vram GPU and a ram frequency of 2400mhz? Also the cpu frequency matters which u didnt mention.

Yeah, by turning down everything it wont matter at all how much vram your gpu has but..

tl;dr ver: Low ram/(and probably)cpu frequencies.

It's an i7-7700, so it will cap out at 4GHz Turbo under 4 core loads.

Right.. so a higher ram frequency is all he needs. 3200mhz+ or smth.

Probably. I run a 4x8GB quad channel 3200MHz CL16 kit with my i7-6800K and on 1080p/Low the game easily reaches 180-187 FPS (187 is the engine's limit): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1460810579

Even there though, my CPU is the bottleneck. The one thread pegged at 100% is obviously the draw call thread and once that happens... no more frames.

I would need to see more detailed (per thread) usage in OP's case to even begin to explain why he's seeing that happen at only 90 FPS though. Maybe RAM speed. Maybe some background processes artificially limiting it by putting load on that draw call thread and it's full potential isn't available to the game. Hard to say.

I run the game at a sweet spot for my rig, where I get 85-95 FPS and GPU usage is close to 95% (but I'm still draw call capped by the CPU so getting full 99% utilization out of the GPU is rare): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1908751503

That said I have an extra 2c/4t and 200MHz on my CPU, much faster RAM that is also running quad channel and not dual so it's got a lot more bandwidth[i.imgur.com], and a GTX 1080 which is 50%-70% better than a GTX 1060 depending on the game (though that shouldn't matter as much when testing in 720p/1080 Low).

In my case, I know that the game has sole access to that draw call thread because I use Process Lasso to manage thread affinity. Everything else running on my PC besides a given game is crammed onto the first core affinity (cpu0 and cpu1, logically) and then only the game has access to use all the threads (cpu0-cpu11).

Forgot to add that this was not an issue before. Started happening like a year ago or so.

GTA: Online is very CPU dependant. Like... REALLY CPU dependant. Story mode runs absolutely fine, but they've bloated the Online mode with so much sh*t that it can run like hot garbage on some systems.

There was a really good video on it, and then the uploader deleted everything off his channel. Regardless, though. If you want to get better performance, get a better CPU with better single core performance. GTA Online will love that.
