GTA V PC Graphics

[Chromenized]

Hello. So whenever I try and increase my graphics on GTA V on the PC, it lags the game immensely. What would I have to purchase in order for it to not lag. I am not good with computers so I came here. xD
Here are my PC specs:

Thanks guys! I have a GeForce GTX 705.

Thanks guys! I have a GeForce GTX 705.

Do you mean a GT 705 or a GTX 750?
In either case, they're not very powerful cards. The 750 was made as a budget option to allow older computers and inexperienced buyers to play games without having to drop a load of cash. As @Hail Kira and @The Wiber have said, your GPU needs an upgrade.
If you want good prices, be on the lookout during the next few months, as many people will be selling their old (but still perfectly good!) cards in order to upgrade to the GTX 1000 series. Judging from the content on your channel, a 960 would probably be just fine, or a 970 if you have a bit more money and want some higher performance.

 

[Hail Kira]

Yeah agreed, a GTX 960 works good. Thats what Ive been using for the last year. Can play any game. at 1080p.

Im upgrading this month to the gtx 1080 for 4k and VR

Thanks guys! Would you recommend me getting the GTX 980 by itself, or buy a whole new gaming computer with it already installed?

If you wait another month the new GTX 1070 is coming out for $379usd

So if I bought this, it would be fine for my PC even though everything else isn't the greatest?

It should... you cpu and ram really isnt that bad...

Isn't that bad??? His CPU is good enough for (at least) next two years (or even more). It will easly run with newer GPUs.

Hey man the problem with your Pc is lower hard drive processing power which makes your games power to process high quality games lower . This can be solved by buying the latest harddrives in the market compatible with your computer and your graphic card is low , I would suggest going in once an' for all . Make a one time buy but make it worth so that it lasts you 5-7 years mininum. Nex gtx 1000 would be a good idea only if your computer is conpatible with it , never buy old ones , you have no idea how many cheaters are in this world now than the 1900's . Go in once go in for 10 years that's how I do it . Make a one time purchase no matter how big but buy only the latest .That's the rule in techie world

Thank you everyone who helped me out! I really appreciate it.

[emking]

For context - My GTX 980 has a performance drop-off after using 3GB of VRAM. I'm not entirely sure why, though.
To play a game with good settings (and I assume able to record, as well) you're going to need to drop a load of cash, like I did [see signature].
