I'm about to get GTA V, but I'm not sure if the game would run smoothly.
have an i7-8750H
nvidia 1050
8gb ram
Windows 10 64bit
Runs smoothly
Yes, according to the benchmarks, it should run smoothly even at high settings: https://www.notebookcheck.com/...611.0.html
There, with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ and a GeForce GTX 1050 at high settings (1920x1080), 65 FPS were achieved. Your processor would be even more powerful compared to the i7-7700HQ.

the official requirements.
On the laptop GTA V runs without problems. However, the 2GB VRAM of the GTX 1050 will quickly put a lid on the settings.
The shortcoming is your specified GTX 1050, but despite the bad GPU it should run "good".
