Depends on what your specs are.

Define run.

Will it open the game?

Probably.

Will it play at playable fps?

Not a snowball chance in hell.

if you are planning to play gta5 on a dual core, you need to increase your clock speed by a LOT. i am playing on a q8200 which is a 2.3 quad core, and my 970 is bottlenecking like hell.

it can run..

but not enjoyable

You're going to struggle and even you get it to run it won't be ideal. IMO if you want to play GTA5 you need to be at least in the ballpark of what you need for a "smooth" experience. Which would be something along the lines of:

 

- 60GB of free space on an SSD. Game is huge, disk speed makes a difference

- A modern quad core CPU. Because you'll want to crank the population density/variety

- Something like an R9 280x or 960, ideally with 3GB VRAM or more. Because you'll REALLY want to run on HQ textures

- 8GB RAM

 

If you can get close to that? You'll have a good experience. If you can do better? It'll be fantastic

I can run it

barely

Your CPU, not really. A highly overclocked g3258, yes

I used to have a Pentium G3258 @ 4.2ghz combines with an MSI gaming r9 290, and for me the game was unplayable. I would get around 60fps but with massive drops/skips/lag, as well as loads of pop in and issues where the textures of the roads and building would just disappear (I played on high settings). You may be able to get better performance by lowering the settings, however I was reluctant to do this considering how powerful my gpu is. Anyway this game was the motivation I needed for me to upgrade to a 4790k, as well as the fact that more and more games require more than 2 cpu cores. Hope this helps a bit.
