well, I use a 4460 with my 970 and i get a massive bottleneck of 100% cpu usage in pretty much all of my games. And yes, all of my components are compatible blah blah drivers are up to date blah blah. This cpu just isnt good for current titles and slows things down horribly. Atleast for me.

Ba5 I have to retract my previous statement. I confused your CPU with another. A i5-4460 is equivalent to a kaby lake i3-7100. A bottleneck wouldn't surprise me. You should consider upgrading to another LGA 1150 socket CPU.

Addendum: If you increase to a higher resolution then your bottleneck will be somewhat alleviated, but upgrading the CPU is a much cheaper option. GTA V's optimization is only mediocre. I'm currently working on upgrading my Pentium G450 box and only have a GTX 1060 6 GB to test with. Wish I had a 1070 to test how bad the bottleneck is.
