Hi there ! So i just bought gta 5 for christmas on pc and my pc is running kinda low .I have a g3220 pentium cpu with a gt 710 and 8 gb of ram .I have all the graphics settings as low as possible and my video memory to 1.2 gb .I was asking if i can turn the graphics a bit higher until i aproach the gpu max 2 gb vram without any significant performance drop or will it depend on the frequency of my memory clock and gpu clock ?

No gaming on the 710, no matter what speeds you set or how much memory it has. Of the GT 7xx series, the 730 DDR5 is about the lowest you can go and still run games. For something like GTA V you'll want at least a GTX 750 Ti.

Your CPU is a dual core with no hyperthreading, that doesn't help. GTA V really wants a quad core, or at least a dual core with hyperthreading. You do have 8gb ram, which is good since GTA V stutters with less than that.

Upgrade the videocard, then see what performance is like. Turn down CPU intensive settings to raise performance if you need to. Then, if it still doesn't run well enough, look into the cost of a used Haswell i5.


the 710 is not a gaming gpu, it is for doing menial windows tasks

you need more gpu power to run games at decent settings + fps


at 1080p a gtx 1050 ti is a starter gaming gpu
