Hello guys.

I have an NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT with 512 MB dedicated memory.

I went into this website

and as you can see it tells me that i can't run GTA V due to the low memory.

 

But my NVIDIA control panel says:

 

I'll translate the two highlighted lines:

Total available graphics memory: 2303MB

Dedicated video memory: 512 MB

 

I don't understand... According to the NVIDIA panel i have more than 2GB of graphics memory, so i could run gta v but http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/tells me that i can't (First image). Who should i believe? NVIDIA control panel or that website?

 

I'm sorry if i wrote in the wrong section and i hope i wrote in an understandable way

Your true level of VRAM on your graphics card is 512MB.  It looks like Nvidia is also trying to group that in together with your regular RAM, and you should not use that figure as your level of graphics memory.

 

Your graphics card has 512MB onboard, and you should really have at least 1GB according to the current system requirements posted on Steam.

Ok, so i shouldn't pre-order the game. XD

 

Just to understand better, NVIDIA tries to use my 4GB RAM for the graphics memory?

RAM is such a small part of the equation to make a run game the way it runs as well. 

 

Your overall graphics card would need a rehaul to a more modern, powerful card to run GTAV. 

 

I'd recommend something with 4GB GDDR5 RAM. (My personal suggestion would be the GTX 960).

GTX 960...mmh i'll look for it,  thanks :)

Sorry if i'm answering after months of inactivity XD, but there are people on the Internet that run GTA V EVEN with 9600GT 512mb! O.o   I bought gta v and an nvidia 9800gt 512mb (i'm so stupid, i didn't remember that the minimum required was 1GB ) and, obviusely, i can run the game only in 800x600 with lags near cities and towns.

Tell me if this video is fake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl3nchtnysg, if this video wouldn't be fake it'd mean that i should run the game normally...but in fact i can't (i have to say that all my specs, except the video card, are higher than the mininum specs) so the only thing i can do (apart buying another video card XD) is say: WTF?! XD

 

In the description of the video it says: "this is a setup test for GTA pc i will be doing videos sometime next week or maybe the end of this week whenever my second 9600GT comes so i can have 1 gig or 1024mb VRAM i was averaging 25 to 30 fps but i just found out when i was recording i had v sink on so that locked it at 30."   

what does it mean? what are FPS? and why is he waiting for another 9600gt? can two video cards work together? O.o
