What does it need in order to do what?

I guess I'm asking what do I need to upgrade to run lspdfr  or gta v in general.  I'm pretty sure the processor I have is too weak and if I can get away with the videocard I already have?

The game will play, just probably not that well. The video card is probably the weakest link:

A card from one or two generations prior kicks its ass pretty thoroughly. By upgrading your GPU, you'll also need to upgrade your power supply. Your CPU isn't the greatest in the world, but I'd hang onto it for now, as changing it would require you to also change the motherboard, basically requiring you to put together an entirely new computer. The AMD  FX6300, as the spec sheet points out, is sort of a six core but sort of not. It has three physical cores, but six logical cores when you view it in a task manager. Essentially is has three Bulldozer cores which function as a 6 core CPU in some cases, and as a 3 core CPU in others, to sort of circumvent the inability to use HyperThreading, which is an Intel only technology.

Thanks for the help! a lot to think about so do you think it will run at average if I just bring the graphics up?  

As someone with a 750ti, I overclocked it a bit (up to 1250mhz) and it runs at about 45-55fps on Very High settings.  So you will be able to run GTAV no problem, most likely.

Thanks man may I ask what processor your running on?

Pardon me for being skeptical, but at what resolution? Because I would find it hard to believe that this little thing:



would outperform a card twice its size with twice as many CUDA cores, and twice the memory clock speed despite the small core clock push you gave it. I'd also suggest that you're going to be walking on egg shells overclocking something like that. It's going to be really hard to properly cool an over-volted GPU chip with a small aluminum heatsink and a tiny plastic fan. There's a reason the big boy video cards have 9 to 11 inch long, 2 inch thick cases on them.

I have an FX-8320.

 

I'm using this card, not that little one.  I regret not getting one with an additional 6 or 8 pin power connector so I could boost it more, but I'll survive with those frames.  I have a 1920 x 1080p monitor, most of my settings (except water quality and grass quality, and maybe shadows) are on very high.  The game looks amazing!  Here's a video to show you that I get about 40fps while recording (with some hiccups, but those were on me).

EDIT: As for overclocking it - I've checked my thermals, and they're within a good range.  I have good case flow, and I only upped my voltage +6mv, and am 100% stable in SkyDiver and OpenGL.

EDIT #2: To be fair, this card is not the best card and I only bought it as a cheap upgrade from a 5xx series card.  If you can afford a 960 or up, I'd 100% recommend those, even if it means saving up for an extra couple weeks.  Personally I regret buying this card and not getting at least a 960.

   Now I'm really confused lol? The CPU or graphics card that is the question.  Im a laymen when it comes to use kind of stuff so I went canyourunit.com and they flagged my CPU as the issue so I'm at a loss

hmm. on the can you run it page, I'm fine in terms of minimum but when you get to recommended, its only my processor that it says I should upgrade... dont know why a 8350 is that much superior to a 8310...

but yeah, Id at least upgrade that PSU, I had a stock one from my old computer when I built this one and both it and my GPU burnt out because of the load on the CPU..you would probably be fine playing it, but you might not be able to play on ultra or high settings.. personally I dont know why people use ultra or high...

that my $0.02

Ok cause eye candy to me is just a bonus if I could play lspdfr with mods and not have a problem I would be a happy camper and good graphics could be a goal for the future

You will be all set with a 750ti, as long as it's from a brand like EVGA or gigabyte and has it's own cooler (like the one I linked).  You'll have no issues playing GTAV - it won't be ultra, but it'll look good!
