Can it run GTA V with a config like this? I haven't played any games in a very very long time but since I got a free copy of gta yesterday, I may as well play it once.

What min gpu do you think will be good enough for it? Fwiw I have a ryzen 3500 / 32gb desktop but a very old graphics card (gt 710 2gb).

If that is your old PC, just buy a used RX580 for $100 or so and call it a day.

Thanks for the recommendation. Pc is not very old but graphics card surely is and I never upgraded it since I hardly play any games on it. Probably just gonna try this game once or twice.

An RX 580 would probably run GTA at reasonable frame rates and settings if your display is 1080p. Doubt it would do too too well at any higher resolutions though.

Not sure how you're coming to that conclusion. A quick search suggests that a rx 580 should handle 1440p without too much problem. https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kL32iysKuX2AuJ9ncWaJqU-650...

Apparently I have managed to misremember the heck out of RX 580 benchmarks. I must've been thinking of RX 480 4GB results or something. I still run GTX 970s, so haven't kept the greatest tabs on anything much newer. Oops.

RX 580 does come in 4GB version, which is cheaper, but the 8GB isn't more pricier.

GTA V is amazing. Well worth playing :)

If you just want to scratch the gaming itch a bit, hop on the 2 month trial of google's stadia. GTA is not part of it but enough other fun games. I'm playing through serious sam in split-screen.

Yes it runs definitely on a 750Ti at about 30fps on medium details.
