AwesomeUsername Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Title says it all. I wanted to buy gta 5 from steam but my local gamestop was out of stock. So I went to a shopping mall to go buy a hard copy. I knew I didn't have an optical drive on my laptop but I thought I could go buy one where I needed to plug it into a usb port but I had no luck in finding one. Now, how do I install it Is it possible for me to download it online than use the code I got when buying the hard copy? Or is that just not possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshallRawR Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 You can download the game from the Warehouse, redeem the code you have there: https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/activate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NebulaHD Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) what you could do Is buy a external USB CD drive. http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-Portable-External-GP50NB40/dp/B00AWRTXVS/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1431878715&sr=1-2&keywords=usb+cd+drive OT: I highly doubt a laptop could run GTA 5.

PCMasterRace46 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 There are gaming laptops that will run it but you'll need at least a 3gb 970m, i5 or i7 cpu 8gb of ram minimum on medium settings. You won't be able to run it on a $500 Best Buy laptop no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be able to run it on a $500 Best Buy laptop no. this sounds about right. mine is an i7 with a 850m and 8gb ram. plays good on high settings, 40-70 fps. cost a pretty penny ($900) but since I needed to replace my old laptop, I paid a bit extra to get it to play games.

MarshallRawR Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I think OP asked for the download, not for his computer, so I guess the case is closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJee Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 the 850m plays this game on medium settings fairly well. The 970m does a great job on high settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
