Lookin for a graphic card

[AspenL]

Hey guys I'm looking for a graphic card to attach to my pc to play Gta v, my current one gives lag spikes once in a while which is annoying

Pc specs :
Acer aspire xc 605
Intel i3 4150
Intel hd graphics 4400
4Gb ram
220w■


I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card but my casing is small and I do not want to switch case or change the psu

What card do you have now?

I have not changed anything since I bought it so I probably have the stock graphic card inside

From what I found on the internet, the version that came with the i3 does not have a dedicated GPU, only the integrated one.

The only option for your case would be a low profile 750TI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127836&cm_re=gtx_750_ti-_-14-127-836-_-Product&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=12087162&PID=3899435&SID=skim1402X558040X7eb1159653e253af546fe8ba36ef54ac&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-Skimlinks

Is there a cheaper version as I am on a budget, something that will run gta v smoothly

You will need to change the PSU, 220watts it's not enough for any decent GPU.

I`m sorry, but there`s nothing cheaper than a 750 TI that will run it, and I think all of the other cards will not run on a 220W PSU.

If you can`t get a 750 ti, let alone upgrade your PSU and get a better GPU, you should make peace with the fact that you will not be able to have a decent gaming experience in GTA V.

How about the gtx 740/750, will it be better than my current IGC? Will the power supply be enough for either one of these?

What is the resolution of your monitor?

Also what kind of performance and settings do you want to run at? Do you have a fps target?

1280 x 960
And I do not have a FPS target, running gta v on low-mid setting will be fine to me, just hoping to decrease the lag spikes
