As the title say today i tested a new build with an i3 4170 and R9 380 4GB, and i was curious at gta v 4k what fps should i get, so i turned everything maxed out very high/ultra 4xmsaa 3824x2131 resolution expect advanced graphics, population density,population variety and distance scaling those settings were closed, and i got playable 35-27 FPS.I used fraps to monitor my fps.How is this possible????

Recommended specs can be misleading.
Game vendors want high specs so their games will perform well.
It does not necessarily mean that the game will not run with other options.

i3 is a dual core, but hyperthreading gives it 4 dispatchable tasks.

I would be very interested in a test with lower resolution or eye candy.
If fps increases, it would indicate that the graphics card is the limiter, and not the cpu.

If fps stays the same, then the cpu is the limiter.

GTA 5 recommends a quad core Cpu and the I3 4170 is a dual core and GTA V is a multi core CPU intensive game because of all the moving objects that needs to be processed by the CPU (vehicles, pedestrians, animals, etc.), and there are a lot of moving objects in the world of Grand Theft Auto V (especially on PC). Rockstar games can only optimize the game to a certain point, and at some point the user needs to upgrade their hardware, that's how it works. Sure, there will be dual cores that will run the game, but that doesn't mean that they will have a great experience. I wouldn't recommend anybody to buy a dual core in the year of 2015.

Hyper threading only job is to keep the CPU busy not add more cores after the processor finishes a task the next one is already lined up and ready to go for the next available core so a dual core is only a dual core NOT A Quad Core and new games are quad core standard so there will be a performance hit using a dual core when quad is becoming the standard for a gaming pc in 2015 now back in the day a dual core was great for gaming but times are changing
