Hello,
Can i run GTA5, Battlefield 4, NFS Rivals, and a few more but having almost same system requirements, on HP Envy 15-k203tx Notebook having specification as:
Processor - Intel Core i7 (5th Gen) Variant 5500U
Clock Speed - 2.4 GHz with Turbo Boost Upto 3 GHz
Graphic Processor - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M 4GB DDR3
Ram - 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz
Resolution - 1920 x 1080 Pixels
Operating System - Windows 8.1
System Architecture - 64 bit
OS Architecture - 64 bit
(I have taken specification from flipkart)

P.S I'am worried because all these games require intel quad core processor and it has dual core.

Thanks for the answer....:)

Whilst the OS will see the processor as having four threads, the game may not. Physical and logical cores are completely different and software (which is what a game is) utilises them differently, if at all. Your processor is designed for low power and good battery life, not intensive tasks.

The memory bandwidth of your GPU is half that of a 9800 GT, which is the minimum requirement.

All things considered, the game will probably launch but the frame rate will make it unplayable. You'll have to settle for sub-720p resolution with most of the advanced graphical features turned off. Even then, you probably won't see a frame rate higher than 30.

GTA V and BF4 wouldn't be great because the GPU (graphics) is using DDR3 RAM, so memory bandwidth would be an issue... if you lowered the resolution of those games from 1920x1080 to 1600x900, 1366x768 or 1280x720 (not gonna look as pretty) then the framerate will improve a lot.

And don't worry, the operating system treats hyper-threaded dual cores as quad cores... it can still run four threads simultaneously (so no scheduling issues like you'd have with a Pentium)... only downside is at 2.4-3GHz you probably won't be getting a locked 60 fps. I would expect your CPU's breaking point (so to speak) to be around 45 fps in BF4/GTAV.
