It is possible that your laptop is using the basic Graphic chip - Possibly Intel to run GTA5.
I don't know how Radeon works, but for Nvidia, we have a graphic card control panel, where we can select and dedicate which program utilize which graphic cards.
512mb Vram sounds a lot like the Intel basic, instead of your Radeon.
Processor : Intel Core i5 2430M quad core 2.4 GHz (Upto 3Ghz turboboost)
GPU : ATI Radeon HD 6730M 2 GB dedicated memory
RAM : 4 GB
It's an ASUS A43S laptop and you can check, it doesn't have intel HD graphic or some kind of basic graphic card. It just uses the Radeon graphic card for all purpose.
Whelp. Can't really help you here then.
I mean 512mb is one of those magic numbers, and clearly GTA is recognizing something other than your Radeon.
As far as optimization goes, it is -decent- to be honest.
But I'd suggest you to try invest in a desktop for any Open World type game in the future.
The resource it requires...Unless you're planning on buying a $4k laptop every year, it's going to be hard to keep up.
For the second solution, I tried that but the video memory in the option is still showing. Will it affect my game despite it's still there?
I know, I know... The expensive solution for this problem is to buy a decent PC to play. But I don't have the budget for it and won't have in the near future. I hope I could fix this problem now with the laptop.
Oh, and you know.. My laptop is decent enough to play Battlefield 3 on ultra setting though.. So I guess it's still pretty good now. I wonder what's wrong with my lagging low setting gta...
It does...

That chip has HD3000 integrated. I don't have any experience with AMD's dynamic switching though but it's possible that is the issue. With nVidia optimus this normally happens when running older driver revisions that do not contain a profile for the game or with older games that have config launchers which the drivers don't pick up.
You can possibly add the game to the drivers manually so it picks them up.
It is possible your integrated chip is bypassed and the laptop only ever uses the AMD chipset but I suspect that is unlikely.
It does!? :O
It's never written anywhere on this laptop neither the manual book that it has intel HD graphics. What an enlightment..
Umm can you help me for how to add the game manually to the driver?
After turning some advance settings off, and tune some excessive settings down, I now run with 60~75 fps with most settings maxed out.
I can't pin point what option that's a resource hog. It could've been the Grass option?
Try tweaking settings and see if it fix anything.
On top of other suggested solutions other players listed.
Anyway, I found this article through a quick google search. It's from HP but it will cover most of what you need to know I suspect...

Yes, that CPU does have an integrated GPU. Intel HD 3000. And yes, if the game is trying to use that your FPS will be terrible and VRAM will be limited to whatever amount of RAM is set aside as VRAM in the Intel drivers, i.e. 512mb.
