GTA V on Dual CPU

[leandrotbh]

I was wondering if I can run GTA V on these specs?
CPU: Intel Pentium G860 @ 3GHz
Ram: 4GB
GPU: GeForce GTX 650ti

I think it would be wise to get a CPU upgrade, if at all possible. You should be able to run it on low to medium.

Doubtful that you will be able to run it, as it requires a quad-core CPU. But plug your stats in on the 2nd site, & it'll tell you.

A pentium G860 is faster than the Q6600 or Phenom 9850, by a good amount.

Not a question of speed, it's a question of cores. Dual-core means it doesn't meet the minimum specs. So even if you OC'd it to 5.0 GHz, it's still going to be a dual-core CPU. Even the i3 machines (dual-core with HT) run into issues at some point in GTA V, because dual-core HT CPUs (i3) aren't as strong as quad-core CPUs (i5), let alone quad-core HT CPUs (i7).

And...having checked out the game-debate.com link, you cannot run GTA V because of your CPU. Your GPU is fine; your RAM is OK, but unless you upgrade your CPU you shouldn't expect to play it -- & unless you also have 64-bit Windows, you really shouldn't expect to play it. Again, not a question of core speed, it's a question of how many cores, & your CPU just doesn't cut it.

Again, it will run it. Maybe on lowered settings, but it will run it. Game debate is a horrible site.

Well, you can always try systemrequirementslab.com, go to the site for GTA V, & either run the in-browser app or download the stand-alone app, & it'll tell you whether you can or not...& I would be highly surprised if it says you can.

Now, maybe you won't believe the result, because it compares your hardware to what Rockstar has listed as the minimum & recommended recommendations. But while I could build a "redneck trolling motor" out of a drill, a bit extension, & an old trolling motor blade, it doesn't mean it will be anywhere close to as reliable or have the performance of a real trolling motor. So it might be possible to get GTA V to "run" on a dual-core, non-HyperThreaded, CPU...but I wouldn't expect it to even be able to hit a minimum of 30FPS, especially in the intensive multi-threaded environments (driving, large multiplayer maps, inner city areas, etc.) unless you turned the details down to "Minimum" & turned the resolution down to, oh, maybe 640x480. And that means what, playing it at a quality inferior to what even a PS2 or XBox (not even XBox 360), or even Nintendo GameCube, could achieve? Is that what you're really looking for in your gameplay?
