Graphics Card Good For GTA5?

[superbomb]

The graphics card that I am considering buying is the Gtx 750ti 2gb pny
Some of my specs of my PC are:
Intel I5
8 GIGS of RAM
500 WATTS
If you need anything else ask me

For GTA5, you could spend a little more if you could afford it, a GTX 750Ti probably won't get you the highest settings but it'll probably play it at medium

What about the AMD R9 270?Any better?Worse?

The 270 is a great mid-range gpu, much better choice than the 750 ti, but a little more expensive.

It will be alright for mid to low settings at 1080p resolution. The GTX 960/760 would do you much better. But on the other hand AMD's R9 280/280X can do just as well.

gta 5 won't even come to pc, its just an illusion 😀
my suggest is gtx 760 ( 4gb version) , or 280x amd

 

[ImDaBaron]

I think you'll be fine at a 270x actually

 

[RCguitarist]

AMD 280 or an nvidia 960 are going to be your sweet spots for budget cards that will run it well on high settings. A 750ti should be good for medium settings.

4GB on a 760 is useless.

thanks

i agree. if your buying a card i would wait till the gta 5 release date gets close since its in april now. the amd 300 cards should be out by then and you might be able to get a really good deal on a new gfx card. that is if your trying to get a new card just for gta.

What psu do you have? Having a 280 in a 500w unknown psu is phusing it.
Your best option would be a 270x or a 960. But it would be easier if you tell us your budget.

I stick with my choices then, but still not very sure in how much money you can spend on the gpu.

What's strange is, when you look up the Minimum vs Recommended specs for GTAV on Steam it says.... "Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD 7870 2GB" For the recommended, not even minimum, which to me seems to say that you can play it max settings with the "recommended" As I have a GTX 660 I'm planning to upgrade soon anyway, but I might wait until after the game launches just to test the gameplay with that card.

 

[ImDaBaron]

Probably a good idea...maybe a good idea to upgrade the power supply too

Recommended specs don't mean what is needed to run at 60fps on max settings. Recommended specs just means to get what the devs feel is a pretty good experience with the game. That usually equates out to playing on a medium to high settings mix at a near constant 30fps.

How many WATTS do you think I should upgrade to?

Roughly $200

Very good point. But they maybe need to come up with a standard by which they are measuring. I mean minimum has a clear definition, anything less and you really can't play the game. Recommended should say, 30fps 1080p or whatever, so people are aware what they're talking about.

How many WATTS do you think I should upgrade to?

Stay in the 500-600W range. Just get a better quality power supply.

I agree. And with $200 to spend on a graphics card, I strongly recommend the GTX 960.
