Before we answer this question, players should know  the minimum requirements to play GTA 5. We have listed these requirements below.

  • Operating System: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1
  • Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs) @ 2.5GHz
  • Memory: 4GB
  • Video Card: NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB / AMD HD 4870 1GB (DX 10, 10.1, 11)
  • Sound Card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
  • HDD Space: 65GB

Despite the minimum requirements, players can manage to play GTA V at 720p resolution with Integrated Graphics. However, the game will only run on the lowest graphics and resolution. It is also likely that players will experience a lot of lags that will ultimately ruin the gameplay experience. Since a lot of missions in GTA 5 are about timing and shoot accuracy, a lagging device will ensure that players do not progress very far in the game.

Therefore, while it is technically possible to play GTA 5 without a graphics card, players would do well to stick to the minimum requirements. As mentioned above, players should have a minimum of NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB or AMD HD 4870 1GB (DX 10, 10.1, 11) to run the game without any glitches.
