I don't know what's wrong with the game but it seems it won't exceed 30 FPS on either max settings nor lowest setting ! I never installed mods, cleaned registry, verified game files, cleaned cache and logs, removed broken shortcuts, defraged my hard drive, fixed all windows errors, deleted .xml game files ran in safe mode but still locked at 30 fps ?! I don't know whats wrong but I play GTA V on 100+ fps with max settings o0.
Any help is appreciated :)

My specs
AMD Radeon R9 390x
Intel core i5 4690 3.5 ghz 4 cores OC to 4 ghz
Corsair vengance 2x8 gb ddr3 ram
msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard

What kind of monitor are you using? I suspect it is fine, but a 60Hz monitor can only display a maximum of 60Hz and so on. But I don't think that is your issue since 30fps would be a really old monitor and you're rocking GTA V :)

There are some older games out there that lock your fps to something low, especially poorly done console ports. I would look into how to get that particular game above 30 fps since it sounds like it is just hard coded to never go over 30 fps so the consoles wouldn't explode. If it is an older game I would imagine someone out there has figured out how to finagle the .ini files to break that lock. I want to say Fallout 4 had that issue (albeit at 60 fps), where the fps was supposed to be locked at a certain...

I want to say Fallout 4 had that issue (albeit at 60 fps), where the fps was supposed to be locked at a certain point because animations were lazily tied into the fps (I *think* they have since patched that). There was a workaround by messing with the .ini files, but then your character would swing at lightspeed lol.

But I suspect the latter is your culprit since you are getting the same fps no matter what you do.
