It's only going to run GTA V at low to medium settings @ 1366x768 resolution, for decent framerates. Unplayable at 1920x1080 resolution (14fps).


ok thanks! 😀

I was wondering if this laptop doesn't have a quad core processor, will it still run GTA V smoothly?

Nevermind the i7 5500U has 2 cores and 4 threads it isn't quad core. Will it still run GTA V smoothly with 2 cores: 4 threads?
