My current graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series) doesn't have enough video memory so right now I'm on the lowest settings. I am planning on upgrading soon and am wondering if this is any good. I'm not trying to max out on ultra or anything, just trying to get more video memory to raise it to high or very high and improve my FPS. I have an iBuyPower desktop by the way.

Also is 2 GB or 4 GB better for maximum GTA 5 settings?

Thanks!

I have a GTX 750TI 2gb (640 Cuba Cores)and i run from high to Ultra Graphics in GTA5, and the thing preventing me from going full Ultra is that i only have 2GB of memory. so go for a 4gb card if u can. Just Benchmark my card with your card to see where yours fits in.(and look for Cuba Cores under specifications)

^^ is my Card. (i plan to get another one of these so i have 1280 cuba cores and 4gb of video memory)

Don't get a second, just upgrade. When you have two SLI cards, you only have the VRAM of one card, I don't know why, it is jsut how SLI works, and not all games support SLI, and some do but it is bad. I know people who have SLI and they say it can be a pain. And also it consumes a lot of power. I suggest just getting a new card. There are some very good cards out right now for the Money.

On Triple A games and big name stuff, an SLI should work fine, but on a lot of Indie games, I imagine that there won't be very good SLI support,

I found one new on Newegg for $80. And what is your max budget? Because a 750ti is a pretty good card. And it is a good deal for the price.

I'm just trying to get the cheapest I can get, preferably under $100. Might get the Sapphire one instead, since it's only $5 more. But is it good for GTA 5 high settings?

The r7 240 is less powerful than the lowest 7700 card (7750) so you'll be getting more vram on a cardcthats less powerful & unable to make use of it.

So no mate it would be an absolutely worthless buy.

R7 250x 2gb would be the absolute minimum for GTA v

If you could save up for a little over $200, you could get the R9 380, and get the 4Gb version, it is like $10 more, and it outperforms the 4GB GTX 960, and that card is more expensive. And the R9 380 is a very good card.
