Hi,
When i play MGS V : TPP, i get around 45-60fps (mostly 55+, high-extra high settings)

However, when i get to 45fps, instead of feeling slightly laggier than 60fps/50fps it feels like it's 15-20fps (extremely laggy).

Any reason why? (Vsync disabled)

Then the game is CPU bound, your CPU is just too weak for the game. The lag you are seeing is the CPU being unable to keep up with the GPU.

Changing the Graphics from High to Low does nothing to the FPS, maybe at max a 2-3 fps boost
