HI! I just got my FX-8150 overclocked to 4,6Ghz and I've been using it for a while now. This is my first AMD CPU and it works great.

BUT I have some strange framedrops when I play GTA V. I have everything on high. no MSAA, FXAA or anything like that. My CPU usage is around 40-60% and GPU usage is 70-90%
I have around 80fps sometimes, but some random times it drops all the way down to 30-45fps...

The usage is always at 40-60% on CPU and 70-90% on GPU.
Does someone know how to fix it?

EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX 6GB
AMD FX-8150 4,6GHz
XMS3 DDR3 1600Mhz 12GB

Solution
You'll have to monitor your system while gaming with HWMonitor Pro (don't forget to enable its log feature), this way we'll get to see what exactly happens when you get those fps drops.
