£5 GPU vs GTA V - How Low Do We Need To Go?

GTA 5 is still one of the most popular games out there, and because of it's age it's pretty easy to run. You can even play it on a terrible, old graphics card with 16 cores. But what sort of sacrifices are necessary?

You can push it further by disabling shadows and reflections, setting resolution to 640x480 and reducing draw distance lower than original sliders can, all in configuration file in documents. May even be 30+fps at native 640x480 with no shadows and reflections.

@RandomGaminginHD 13 күн бұрын

Ah good point. Really makes it look terrible

@TheSpotify95 13 күн бұрын

I know of a channel that does exactly this sometimes. You can get 30fps out of real turds of GPUs using 640x480 as a base file (via INI file), turning off shadows and reflections (also in the INI file) and last but not least, setting advanced scaling to 0.5 in game. So 240p ultra low no shadows is doable!

@mruczyslaw50 13 күн бұрын

@@TheSpotify95 It would be 60fps+ even on that poor 310, actually in that state it works on pretty much any DX10 GPU, even very bad intergrated ones like radeon hd 3000 or geforce 8200 (which I unfortunately had and it was so terrible it got ~30fps on these settings). I've tested this on intel G41 extreme graphics however and it crashed after intro (which worked at 1fps by the way) so I think it was more of driver-related issue.

That's how I used to play GTA Online back in the day with my friends. I had to disable shadows and set res at 800*600 (50% res scale too) on my 1080p monitor, to get between 14 and 32 FPS. Then I decided to overlock my card, and it felt like magic when getting no less than 25 FPS, and up to 38. My first PC could barely run GTA Vice City, so I had to use a piece of software called 3D Analyze to emulate having a graphics card. That way I could run The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion on 240p, not even in fullscreen. Lucky of you guys!

@fuzzylumpkins6034 13 күн бұрын

Is a 4090 the gauge for "enthusiast" now? That is more a gpu for a ned with more money than sense but an actual enthusiast would find this hilarious remembering how far we came from everything looking like minecraft being the norm to what we have now. I am an actual enthusiast, collector and my career is in tech and I have never wasted money on something I never needed. I currently use a 7700xt and 7900GRE. Very few of us need and fewer of us would pay for a 4090. All 4090 youtubers have gained it for free to tell others they need it and those that use it for heavy workloads, write it off as a business expense. My work GPU is an A800 40gb (that is an AGC, a real work graphics card, not an overpriced home toy.) I could never use anything as low powered as a 4090 for work and would never need it to play my 1440p and 4k games that do not even support RT.

@HardWhereHero 13 күн бұрын

Not everyone has a 4090, I am a enthusiast for over 20 years and have forgotten more than most people know. I rarely use the top tier GPU when just p0laying a flipping game. You could replace anything with this card and get beat down.

Geforce 310 was released in 2009, but it was not a true gaming card even back then (PS3 era) , i.e. it could run some titles at low-med specs. But it had hardware vide decoding (H.264) which was important back then, as you could watch HD videos with it. As for gaming, older titles from PS2 era (up to 2005) would run fine. For example, it could run GTA IV at 800x600 at 30 FPS, which was expected performance on that console.

I remember trying to play with a gt420 back in 2017, it wasn't a pleasant experience...
