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 NVIDIAGeForce 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:
Minimum specifications:
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1, Windows Vista 64 Bit Service Pack 2* (*NVIDIA video card recommended if running Vista OS)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs) @ 2.5GHz
Memory: 4GB
Video Card: NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB / AMD HD 4870 1GB (DX 10, 10.1, 11)
Sound Card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
HDD Space: 65GB
DVD Drive

My Specs:
- OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
- Processor: Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.67GHz (Lynnfield 45nm Technologie)
- Memory: 4,00 GB Dual-Canal DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
- Motherboard: Packard Bell FMP55 (CPU 1) 37 °C
- Graphics: SyncMaster (1920x1080@59Hz) 1024MBGeForce GT 220 (Sapphire/PCPartner)

If you need any more information, please tell me!

(PS. I have already posted this on "tomsguide", but only just realized this is the place where it actually belongs! I hope I can get some good answers here!)

Thanks in advance!

i would get R7 250 or Geforce 740 at least

Is the Geforce 740 better than the 730?

 

[rockie_]

Geforce 740 is 70% faster than Geforce 730 (ordinary one).

I checked it, and that's true. Do you think there is a graphics card for under 80 euros (=92 dollars) that will be able to at least run the game on low/medium settings? Because that's all I'm looking for really, I don't mind if I have to turn the graphics down a bit.

Packard bell motherboard?

Packard bell motherboard?

Yes, is something wrong?

I was under the assumption these haven't exsisted for years nothing is wrong.

Just goes to show how old my pc is. I should really get a new one, but I'm too busy with school to make enough money to buy a new, actually functional, machine. 😛

I'm gonna work in the summer holiday to make enough money to hopefully be able to build my own pc. I really just need a GPU that's just about able to run GTA V until then, as me and my friends are all planning on buying it and I have been so excited to play it and I really can't wait another 3-4 months. So I need something powerful enough to reach the minimum specs which is also affordable. I'll probably sell the gpu when I get to actually making a pc so it really doesn't have to be a fancy card.

Geforce 740 and R7 250 meet the min requirement . if it is for 1920x1080 then for 1366x768 will be lower . i cant tell this . if you cant afford either of the two cards but Geforce 730 and like to buy it , get a card with 384 CUDA cores and DDR5 VRAM . This version is faster than Geforce 730 with 96 CUDA cores.

Thank you! I'll look into it. I don't mind putting the resolution lower than what my screen actually is, as I just want to play the game.
