Hi.
So I've noticed that my computer seems to be struggling to handle GTA V now on high and medium settings. I'm not sure what the problem is (if its a driver problem or something else) I built my PC in late 2015 so its fairly new. Here is my task manager before GTA V is opened:

The specs of my PC are:
i5 6600
G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB DDR4
Sapphire Radeon r9 390 Nitro
Gigabyte GA-Z170X

Some of the problems that have occurred are missing textures and fps drops.
 
Solution
The game sabotages itself by running it's main thread at a priority that is too high,this makes windows task manager think it has to finish this one thread before working on any others but that is a very bad thing for games,lower it's priority so all the supporting threads finish their work before the main thread and the game will be smooth and displaying everything properly.
Rockstar banns people for anything so use at your own risk,this is more of an informing then a solution.
