his graphics card is better, an i7 isnt better than an i5 for gaming.

Have you tried lowering the resolution? Compare the graphics settings on his game, to yours maybe.

Yeah you can run GTA V easily with those specs, you just need to upgrade the RAM, 4GB is barely anything, my three year old workstation laptop has more RAM than that.
I'll recommend a stick for you.

Get this and swap it in.
Can you give me the exact laptop model number?

Should be Ideapad 310 (Whole bunch of letters and numbers).

considering : (information taken from web page called CanIRunit? :

Grand Theft Auto V Recommended Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHZ (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHZ (8 CPUs)
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB / AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB

Seems the only obstacle is the amount of ram

are you playing wired or on wireless ?

 

[Chugalug_]

Net doesn't affect it really, it's the RAM no question.

 

[sunny_94]

i've done it...i kept resolution to 800×600 but he is running it with 1280×600 i think

Get that RAM stick I posted to replace your current one and you're good to go.

 

[sunny_94]

Get this and hotswap it.

Yeah I know, you can replace the RAM stick easily.

....4GB RAM even bottlenecks a workstation PC, for gaming it's dreadful.

If you'll run it right now in somewhere in Southern Europe, at 46 degrees outside and 32 degrees inside the house, you better buy some air conditioning system.... I have problems with the Division running (but that's also about net connection)... get some cooling pad for the laptop also (and some mem, as the guys recommended)

 

[bignastyid]

Op please don't "hotswap" your ram. Ram is not almost never hot swappable. To replace ram you'll need to atleast shut the system down.
Hot swapping occurs when you remove and or insert a piece of hardware with the system running.

With Lenovo's ideapad 310 and Dell's Inspiron series, you can upgrade the RAM to 8GB per dimm, i've done it before with the 13 7000 and the 310.
If you don't believe me, Crucial's website lists "Guaranteed compatible" ram upgrades for the ideapad 310 with 8GB SODIMM sticks.

The issue is not compatibility of the memory modules.

NEVER "hotswap" memory into a powered on system. NEVER. This is the fastest way to a dead system you can find, short of a sledgehammer.

Swapping in is fine, with the system properly powered down.

 

[Chugalug_]

OOOH I see what you mean, I thought hotswapping just meant swapping one in without any changes to the software side, apparently my definitions are wrong.
I'll keep that in mind in future!

Cheers. I feel like an idiot now.
