gta v graphics look weird on my laptop

Solution


If you are talking about the pauses, that is normal for your system speed, you have a slower CPU and a video card not made to run GTA V, it will struggle even on low settings.
What exactly is "looking weird" in the game? Screen shots look normal. Trees are there, buildings are there, person is there, street is there, textures look OK, what's the issue? You are playing on a low end laptop, if you are expecting high settings with a ton of shadows and details, you won't get that.
