I recently purchase GTAV through steam after waiting for so long, expectation high, but disappoint when I sat down to play it.
The problem at hand; [all settings are set to low and off, 1920x1680, dx11, full-screen, 60 refresh rate]
- Using MSI Afterburner, my GPU usage hover around 40s while in-game [indoor and outdoor] speeding around in car.
- CPU hover at similar value, rarely hitting critical % as other forums indicate.
- FPS:
60s [indoor]
40s [stand still]
20s [cruising in car @ city area]
50s [cruising in car @ rural area]
I'm unsure what is with this lack of performance for a system that is expected to run this game on high according to the benchmark from site like guru3d. At first my CPU clock was 3.8GHz so after I OCed the FPS obviously increase but that is expected, what I wasn't expecting is that I even need to increase my CPU clock in the first place to brute force the FPS. According to this thread [1] OP clearly show that his GPU has much higher usage than my GPU even though we are using basically the same card. Oddly I must mention that when entering the menu screen, my GPU usage goes up to like 89% and FPS increase to over 150 [wut?]. I have no idea why my graphic decide to go berserk in the menu screen but not during game-play. Another thing that increase my fps for arbitrary reason is turning post fx to ultra, well at-least with that setting on ultra I am getting better fps compare to when it was off. Now I could play the game in 800x600 with 2d graphic-esque and get crazy fps but then what is the point of having gtx 970 when I can't even play it at Very High setting if not High.
I'm just wondering does anyone has similar issue with this game or any game in general. Now I know that GPU usage indicate how hard the card is working but seeing how lack luster the performance it showing I think there is more to it.

I forgot to add that my GPU low usage seem to happen in GTA V only thus far. The last big game that I played is Dying Light where the GPU usage goes up to 80s [all high settings] along side with FPS hanging above 60s.
Important note: I bought this game on May 9th so I do not know the difference in performance prior to the recent patch.
What I tried so far:
Re-installing driver 350.12 using DDU
OCed to 4Ghz [minimal fps increase]
Defrag
Mess with graphic settings including using dx 10
Update: Solved by reformat.
CPU: i7 3770k @ 4GHz
GPU: MSI GTX 970 TwinFrozr
RAM: Corsair Vengence 16GB @ 1600MHz
MB: MSI Z77a - G45
