So I am a truck driver I was wondering if anyone has set the game up on a laptop and if so what are your specs?

I'm on a Lenovo ideapad U530 touch.  Don't get thee best frames, and admittingly, at times I worry GTA V is gonna fry my laptop, but thus far, it has been a trooper.  I'm not technical spec wise, you can look it up.

I need donations to help fund my food addiction. DM for details 😂

Do you use a lot of game mods or so you keep it rather basic?

My game is heavily modded.  In fact, prior to installing ELR and a few others, the most frames I got was 30.  Since then, the most I get is 20.  In general, I only advise playing modded GTA on a laptop if you have no other choice. If you have really low FPS, there's a good chance it'll crash a mod or two because it's taking too long for the game to load a specific portion of that mod.  There are "gaming laptops" out there (I use air quotes because I don't really believe laptops are meant for gaming, regardless of how they are made), but they are very pricey.

Mods are very CPU intensive, meaning that it requires extra CPU power. Gaming laptops are pricy, however you certainly dont need the best one out there. Get one that can play GTA at medium/high settings, with mods, at 40-60 frames (If you want no stuttering). But these new laptops, which have AMD's new line and NVidias new line of cards will do the trick. The GTX 1060 and i think the AMD 480 are beasts for being so cheap. So make sure the laptop you get has a good CPU (For the game + Mods) and also a good GPU to play gta v, and process the visual mods, etc.

I run an ASUS ROG GL752 w/ a GTX 960m 2gb card. For all intensive purposes, I run a fairly lightly modded game version (a couple scripts, less than 10 plugins, and only keep a couple car mods in the game at a time). I get somewhere between 40-60fps usually, but also keep in mind that I have a settings.xml file that i downloaded from GTA 5 mods . com that sacrifices the amazing graphics this game can offer for added FPS.  I also run a FPS stabilizer/lag reducing script every time I start the game.   Kinda  a pain.  Looks like I'll be upgrading to a real desktop soon with a 970 4gb card so It will be a pleasant change!
