Hey there everyone,
my actual Problem is the fact that my GPU Usage is very low in GTA 5.
At some points my GPU usage drops down to 30% so will my FPS down to under 45 FPS no matter what settings i use. When i toggle down the settings to minimum it actually gets worse.
The Temps are optimal so no overheating. My CPU works at the same time with around 50% so it's no bottleneck.
I dont know what to do actually.
A friend of mine actually got the exac6t same Rig as i got and hes got around 90 to 99% GPU usage without any problems. That probelm ONLY appears in GTA 5.

My Rig:
GTX 1080
Intel I7 4790K 4,4GHZ
24GB Ram (it's 2x4 and 2x8, thats why its 24GB)

Thanks for every Help appreciated.

I've had this problem for a while now and I haven't been able to fix it, but one night I actually tried making my settings higher, like a lot higher and it made my gpu work harder, giving me higher gpu usage. I don't have the exact same problem as you seeing that you get lower fps when your usage drops, and for me I get annoying game freezes and fps drops with mine but it might help. Just FYI this only worked for a night for me and the next day idk what I did or if it just happened but I was getting low usage again.
