Hi, I am new here and I am really considering buying GTA V on for PC. However, I do not know if my laptop would be compatible. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Are you gonna actually tell us what your laptop is? Or are we going to have to be magicians?

If you post your Laptop components, it is easier to help you. ;)

It's pretty much impossible without specs. He/She could be running a £2000 gaming laptop or some £150 refurbished laptop from when ATI was around.

This probably won't help will it? hahah

...probably not. You really need a proper desktop PC to run GTA V.

A shared graphics card will definitely have a hard time running the game WITH mods..

Not saying not to try it..   DO THIS. 1, Look for a mod that helps u put the game on medium settings without too much texture loss and other things. 2, Only install whats needed as in the main download LSPDFR and maybe some other mods by ALBO1125. 3, Make sure your laptop is clear of any other installed games or back ground programs.    

I'm sure there are more things u could do but those are the obvious ones i would know about.
