Looking for a Graphics card that will be able to run GTA V

[TijmenDimple]

Okay, so the developers of GTA V have recently announced the minimum and recommended specs for the PC version. Me and my friends have waited a long time for this, but I'm scared I won't be able to run it. My pc is pretty old, and my current graphics card is very bad (It's an NVIDIA GeForce GT 220) and I'm looking to for a graphics card that will be able to play GT V PC for under 80 euros. I've looked at the GT730, which I think will be able to run it and the GT9800, which is required to meet GTA V's minimum specs. If my research is correct, I'll be able to just about meet the minimum specs. Please help me find a graphics card that will be able to run the game!

GTA V Minimum Specs:

If you need any more information, please tell me!

(PS. There seems to be no specific forum for PCs, so I'm posting this here. Please tell me if this thread has to be posted elsewhere)

Thanks in advance!

For GTA V, you'll need at least a GTX 770 to play this game with playable frame rates on LOW settings.

are u mad? gtx 770 is 34000 inr and in max settings it requires 660x its just 22000
so we can get max performance with 22000 and u saying gtx 770 is minimum....haha noobish

I am running fairly high settings in GTA V with a 650 TI i gig. I cant run ultra since it is 2 mb above mine apparently BUT runs great no lag or hiccups.

I have a Evga 650TI 1gig
a Fatality Professional board, 8 gigs of ddr3 Windows 7 6x bit and a a intel Quad Core i5 3570

No overclocking no SLI just a normal rig.

Okay I see what you are trying to aim for. But there's something you should watch out for... Never ever aim to make a build based on a game's minimum specs... The minimum specs doesn't mean you are making it into playing that game (even if barely) Minimum specs gaming is terrible. It'll probably crash a lot.. It'll be so laggy it won't even feel like you are gaming.. It'll often freeze up and you'll feel like the game is having load up every handful of steps you take. It'll be an incredibly unpleasant experience that will make you wonder why you bothered in the first place. My advice. fx 8320 (as the one they are suggesting is an fx 8350 at 4ghz but the 8320 can hit that quite easily on it's own because of how it automatically turbo clocks up to 4ghz when faced with a big game or program) , r9 280 is far beyond what you need for graphics and it will make up for any minor losses in any other area. 8 gigs of ram. a decent harddrive a cheap western digital caviar blue 1tb is a good choice. and just sort of work your build around these suggestions. they are great performers at a budget price that should handle GTA 5 on very high settings 1080p at 60fps

That's not correct. you can play GTA 5 on less then minimum req. i Am playing GTA 4 on AMD sempron 140 2.8ghz, GPU- GeForce 210, 2 gb ram, 250 gb hard disc on medium setting without any fps lags and GTA 4 requires minimum dual core 3ghz processor. And mine is not dual core. So i think you can play GTA 5 less then minimum req on low settings.

Really?! So minimum specs is basically what you need to have to be able to be able to BARELY play the game? Ehhhh.... Might have to invest in a completely new custom pc if it's going to be that expensive.

Laptop here, i7 quad core 2.4ghz with boost to 3.4ghz. 8GB RAM,1GB nividia GT 750m. I can run the game in either medium settings @ 40-60 fps, or I can run the game in med-low settings @ 60-110 fps

That is just not true. I run a GTX 560 and get a very playable 45 FPS on average on medium settings with some antialiasing. I have an i5 and 16 gb of RAM. Soon I hope to get a 970 which will undoubtedly max out the game.

 

[osama saleem30]

I am playing GTA 5 on a 7670m with some settings on high and others on normal with 16 antistropic filtering and FXAA and V sync on . I play it on full resolution and am able to get 40+ fps.

 

[Richez]

And just how am I supposed to believe that GTA V will be even halfway-decently optimized? I just don't see how a GTA game can run decent on even high-end rigs. Sorry, but I just honestly find this too hard to believe.

Wow joseph now dont u feel stupid

WhatTijmenDimple answered in his first post is total bullshit.

I have R9 270X w/ 2GB VRAM, and with slightly reduced settings and by using normal textures I'm getting a framerates between ~80(+- 20) FPS. When using high textures the VRAM limit will be exceeded, but the game can still be run without hickups if some virtual memory is allocated from the SSD. I found this tip on Reddit and applied it on my PC: http/www.reddit.com/r/GrandTheftAutoV_PC/comments/33uu71/my_fpsstuttering_solution_fx8350_2x_r9_270x/

Can we just close this thread lol? It was explained a long time ago how certain posts were false/incorrect....
