Which PC to buy for GTA V?

GTA V in solo runs great from a €600 PC. For GTA Online with mods or RP servers (FiveM), a €800–1,000 PC is recommended for smooth 1080p ultra and good network stability.

Why does Grand Theft Auto V require a decent gaming PC?

Grand Theft Auto V sits in the moderately demanding category — neither as light as esport titles, nor as hungry as the latest-gen AAA games. The game engine combines graphical rendering and physics simulations that load CPU and GPU in a balanced way. A budget of €700–900 positions you in the right segment: Ryzen 5 7600 or Core i5-13400, RTX 3060 or RX 6700, and 16 GB of RAM. Add an NVMe SSD for short load times. Beyond €900, you can target comfortable 1440p or 144 Hz gaming.

Frequently asked questions about Grand Theft Auto V

Does GTA V run well on a €600 PC?

Yes, GTA V is a relatively old and well-optimized game. With a €600 PC (GTX 1660 Super / RX 6600 + Ryzen 5), you get 100+ FPS at 1080p ultra. GTA Online can be more demanding on popular servers.

What PC for GTA V with graphical mods or FiveM?

VisualV, NaturalVision Evolved, or FiveM/RP servers are much more demanding. Plan for 16 GB RAM and an RTX 3060 / RX 6600 minimum (~€800–900 build) to stay smooth.

Desktop or laptop for GTA V?

A €600–800 desktop offers better performance for the same price. A gaming laptop also works very well for GTA V as long as it has a dedicated GPU (RTX 3050 mobile or better).
