When it comes to gaming, it's hard not to talk about the juggernaut that is Grand Theft Auto V<\/strong>. Whether you're indulging in the rich, storytelling of the single-player mode or getting lost in the immersive online world of GTA Online, there's something for everyone. However, running GTA V on a PC that doesn't meet the system requirements can be a frustrating experience.<\/p>\n

But fear not, for I'm here to help you find the best laptops for playing GTA V<\/strong> without breaking the bank. I've done the research and testing, scoured forums and reviews, and even talked to fellow gamers to find out what they recommend. So whether you're a new player, a returning fan, or a seasoned veteran, stick around, and I'll guide you through the process of finding a laptop that'll give you the smoothest and most enjoyable gaming experience possible. Let's dive in!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Processor<\/h2>\n\"laptop\n

I'm sure you've heard this one before, but graphics card is the most important component for gaming<\/strong>. With that said, the second most important component is the processor. Without a capable CPU, your GPU will be left to do all the work.<\/p>\n

Requirements<\/h3>\n

GTA 5 is a demanding game, even on the lowest settings. I'd say it requires at least an Intel Core i5-1135G7. Going any lower and you'll find yourself encountering stuttering and FPS drops. And if you're playing GTA 5 on a laptop with a dedicated GPU, that's when you'll really need a beefy CPU. Another pro – if you're searching for a cheap laptop for GTA 5 – i5-1135G7 comes with an integrated Intel Iris Xe with 80EUs<\/a> that can run GTA V at 35 FPS on medium settings even without any dedicated GPU!<\/p>\n

Recommendations<\/h3>\n

If you're on a budget and you can't afford to buy a more expensive laptop with the latest-gen processors, then AMD Ryzen 5 4600H is your best bet. It has great value – much better than Intel's offerings.<\/p>\n

If you're more of a high-end gamer and looking for top-notch performance at any cost – then I would recommend Intel Core i7-10870H, Core i9-10980HK or Ryzen 9 5900HS.<\/p>\n

Graphics card<\/h2>\n

Minimum graphics (under $1000)<\/h3>\n\"the\n

If you're a tight budget, then the best graphics card for GTA 5 is none other than GTX 1650<\/a>. This entry-level card delivers a stable 40 FPS on the highest settings<\/strong>. It's not much, but it'll have to do if you can't afford a better graphics card. The CPU and the GPU are equally important when it comes to frame rates, so if you're on a tight budget, it's best to buy a faster CPU than a faster GPU.<\/p>\n

Recommended graphics ($1000 – $1600)<\/h3>\n

For those who can afford more, the next tier of GPUs offers a significant boost in performance over GTX 1650. In particular, I find GTX 1660 Ti as an excellent choice for all things GTA 5<\/a>. A single GTX 1660 Ti can get 75 FPS on highest settings. That's an enormous leap in performance over the previous entry-level GPU!<\/p>\n

Best graphics ($1600 and up)<\/h3>\n

For those with an unlimited budget and an eye for finer details, I recommend RTX 3070 as the best graphics card for GTA 5. It's capable of pumping out 90 FPS on highest settings at 4K resolution.<\/p>\n

Graphics card comparison<\/h3>\n

Oh. you're a charts guy\/gal? I've plotted the FPS for most common graphics cards below for an easy reference. This is on Full HD with the highest possible settings (Advanced graphics turned on). Without "Advanced graphics", expect an FPS ~1.5x higher than shown here.<\/p>\n[chart]\n
