Hello! So i have a gtx 750 ti and when i play grand theft auto V i can only achieve 30 fps average, i've seen gameplays in youtube and they get 60 or even more with the same graphics card.
So i think probably my cpu is a bottleneck, it is the intel core i3 550 (2 cores 4 threads) @3.20ghz
So yes or not ? another possible factor is the 4gb 1333mhz of ram, what do you think guys ?

its RAM mate :)) GTA 5 is RAM hungry game :) Rockstar made it that way, so that game uses up more RAM and doesn't put all pressure on GPU or smth like that. had same problem, I had 4GB too, so bought +4GB RAM and game is now all smooth

maybe the ram but the game is very cpu intensive so it might be holding back too and i know since i monitor the cpu usage on gta v (about 75% to 80% of my sandy bridge 2600k) oh well hope that helps

well, i notice the game uses 80%-100% of the physical cores ( i check this with msi afterburner) but the gpu load is always like 50%-60% only and it should be 90%-100% like in crysis 2 or 3

CPU bottlenecking GPU - and 4GB in single channel not real good, performance about 10% lower than a 2x2GB in dual
