Budget $500-$600 LSPDFR Build


Recommended Posts

Hey I've been looking at some budget PC builds for GTA 5 (there are a lot which look promising). Can anyone recommend a build within this price range? I'd like to be able to play in HD on high settings if possible at a decent (above 30fps) framerate.

 

Thanks!

Sorry but there are countless Youtube videos of GTA running well at 1080p on budget PCs. LSPDFR doesn't add that much overhead it just increases VRAM and CPU and RAM usage slightly.

Where's your evidence that you need to spend $1500 to play LSPDFR?

DonkeyTV has a point. I only run on a budget PC too, it was like 600€, and since I bought it I made slight upgrades. GTA5 vanilla ran nicely with up to 80FPS on high settings. However, with each GTA5 update it got worse, "Ill gotten Gains Part 2" being the most impacting one. Right now I run vanilla on high settings with 40-ish FPS. With mods it drops down to 19-29 FPS. That's why I decreased my settings to medium-ish, so that I run at almost stable 30 FPS.

My plan is to buy based on 2016 budget GTA builds. I'm on a laptop at the moment so my mentality is that anything will be better than this (I don't even have a quad core CPU). I'm also not bothered if I have to run at 720p (I have to run it at 1024x768 currently lol). And anything over 30fps is acceptable to me, as long as it doesn't drop below 30 at all (or at least not very often) I'll be happy.

With that in mind would you say its possible to satisfy that with $600? I will be making a backup of GTA using RPH so I don't have to suffer any more performance decreases with future patches.

This may work. Though, if you want to keep one GTA folder at the version we have right now, you won't be able to use new mod releases and/or updates anymore as soon as a new GTA5 version releases, because they will only be made for the latest RPH version, which will only work with the latest GTA version.

Edit: Actually, if you know that you won't use many mods, you should be fine (I doubt it's possible to predict that, though). But if you're a person like me, who always wants new mods (and has to keep everything up to date because of that), and especially many mods to further expand the gameplay possibilities, this will probably and up with medium settings, 29 FPS.

Then again, I bought my PC 3 years ago and only upgraded the GPU. A newer PC of the same price is very likely more powerful.

Yeah I understand that.

I just honestly don't get how I can see people playing GTA 5 on $300-$600 PCs on Youtube at very good fps and yet people here are saying its not possible to get decent performance without paying more?

I know dual core performance would decrease over time as Rockstar requires quad core CPU in their system requirements. But assuming I had a quad core CPU (which I can easily afford at this budget) I don't see where the big problem would be. Out of interest what are your specs TheUniT?

I edited my post above, check that.

As for the specs (a little rough): 16GB of RAM, GeForce GTX 750 TI with 2GB of VRAM, some AMD eight-core processor with 4.0 Ghz. I doubt that it's legit eight-cores though. lol

Yeah I only play LSPDFR with ALPR, traffic policer, search warrant police radio and passive speed radar. I don't install ridiculously high poly cars I use in game cars and modify their liveries. Only mods I use are simple trainer skin changer Emergency Uniforms Pack and LSPDFR.

From the looks of things I can get an i5 6500 and a Radeon R9 380 for $600ish. That sounds pretty decent to me

The way I see it, if you want to play at 1080p at 60fps on high-very high settings (with MSAA off), you will have to spend $1,000+ on the build considering you buy everything new.

If you're willing to sacrifice visual quality and fps, you could certainly get away with a cheap $600 build.  Not sure why people do this, as you're building a system for yesterday's standards, not today's or certainly not tomorrow's.

I spent about $1,400 on my setup.  Run the game on high-very high settings with MSAA x4 at 45+fps with LSPDFR and mods.  Also, I'm not worried about future updates or even any new games coming out.

If you must limit yourself at $600, you could build a cheap setup using AMD 6-8 core processor, GTX 960 card, 8gb ram, cheap mobo etc.

Are you asking for a pre-built system in your OP or the parts for a build in this price range?

Many of these $400-600 YouTube builds that you see include used parts, does not include OS, etc.

 you need a GTX 970 (400$)

Where'd you pull that number from? You can get a GTX 970 from EVGA backstock for round about a hundred less, or settle a bit lower with a 750 Ti for about $175. I've ran both. Also, for processor, you can nab an AMD FX-8350 and be at the recommended for the game for ~$180.

@Iggy Fresh I'm just after the computer parts to build a PC myself for that price.

@Mike Bik 15-25fps sounds horrible I couldn't live with that!

Maybe something like this?  You will need to buy OS if you don't have it.
