Performance all over the place

[JUH4Z]

So. I just built a new PC, with a RTX 2070, a Ryzen 5 3600 and 2x8gb 2666mhz ram in dual channel. I tested all kinds of benchmarks and games, my build works flawlessly in all of them, temperature is all right, no bottlenecking, no problems at all...except for GTA V. With everything maxed out, full HD, MSAA x8 and Extended Distance Scalling all the way down, I get the FPS I'm suppose to, from 70 up to 100+, my GPU get's 100% usage, but, if I go fast enough, the map stops loading correctly. That's the first issue. Second, after around 5 minutes of gameplay, when I open up the menu, my FPS drops to 3, only in the menu. And, third issue, when I get the Extended Distance Scalling all the way up, my GPU usage drops to only 60% when looking at the city from far away and my FPS drops to below 60. I have absolutely no clue what's going on, I have a clean installation of the game, a clean installation of Windows 10 with the latest update and the latest drivers for my GPU. My GPU is not overclocked, at least not manually, and my processor wasn't manually overclocked either, I just have turbo boost enabled so it runs at 4-4.1ghz instead of 3.6ghz. Any ideas what's wrong here? Again, the problem is 100% with GTA V only.

My PC is only a step down from yours, Ryzen 5 2600, RTX 2060, 2x8GB 3200MHz ram, CPU and GPU are stock and not overclocked, games and OS on a 1TB NVME (I built this system only a few months ago June 2019), and I have nearly the identical issues you are describing. It if helps I play at 1080p with a 144MHz G-Sync monitor and my CPU and GPU temps are well within reasonable parameters.

I think these issues are related to the Advanced Graphics menu options because the only solution that found was I turn off all the Advanced Graphics settings and leave else in (non Advanced) Graphics menu to maximum  and this made the issues go away and for me GTA:V was able play at 70-120FPS and using the in-game benchmark resulted about the same.

My advice would be to try turning off everything in the Advanced Graphics menu to see how the game performs and if the issue persists or go away. By all right's our systems should be able to play this game with everything maxed out considering our hardware far surpasses the recommended requirements but unfortunately gaming isn't an exact science.

If you decide to try these steps or if you happen to have found a different solution could you please hit me back because our issue seems pretty rare and I am eager to know what your results are.

Thanks!

So, I went back to the game and tested out a little more. I just turned a bunch of things on and off in different order (distant detail, shadow distance, high resolution shadow, resolution, MSAA) and I ended up getting a little better performance (everything maxed out the lowest usage I found on my GPU was 70% at a very specific location). But yeah, with all the advanced graphics turned off my GPU gets solid 90%+ usage. Maybe try turning things on and off in different orders to see if that helps, honestly after some testing and research, only conclusion I came up with is: GTA V PC is a really messed up port, only way to fix it is if Rockstar wants to fix it for some reason.
