So... I've been having some texture loss in GTAIV and major lag in GTAV... I've got a decent setup, it's not the best or the most priced which is what it's meant to do (Budget PC). But I recently got a job, and I'm thinking of either upgrading my ram or GPU... my Specs are 

AMD FX 6300 (3.6GHZ?)

Geforce GTX 750 ti (2gb)

and some random 4 gb of ram I can't remember the name of...

Which would be causing me more texture loss/lag? Ram or GPU? 

RAM. 4GB of RAM is very limited nowadays. GPU is fine, I've an AMD FX-6100 and can run GTA V fine, and the GTX750Ti is still a pretty decent GPU.

For GTA IV however, since it's a poorly optimized game, I'd say it's because of any ENB you'd use or any high poly car you installed.

Awesome, that's what I was thinking too... I use a (Sorta) custom enb and I usually don't use vehicles unless they're under 130k poly (130k AT MOST) and even when I don't use a high poly vehicle, without a enb I still get texture loss... I was definitely thinking it was the Ram's fault. I had a friend that had 2 16GB ram cards he coulda given me... Shitty thing was my motherboard uses a different kind. :/ So I just gotta work some good hours and buy some more ram. How much ram do you use?

8GB is the good minimum, that's what I run and it's enough to run most recent games. More than 8GB of RAM becomes useful only if you do something on your computer that requires a lot of memory like 3D rendering of video making and the like.

Alright, that's what I was thinking of doing... Just another stick of 4GB or a new 8GB stick (Cause I think whenever I bought the ram it was 2, 2GB ram sticks which amounted to 4GB of ram)

Can't go wrong by upgrading ram and GPU
