that video card doesn't support dx11.
Turn off all directx 11 options and try using dx10 only.

plus Nvidia GTA V ready drivers doesn't have support for this gpu. Time to get new gpu imo.

Ive tried to get direct x and new drivers but nothing then i disabled my graphics card and then somehow gta 5 started on its own but it lagged like hell then I minimised gta 5 and re enabled my gpu but then gta 5 crashed.

I too think you should upgrade your GPU. Post details of entire current config.
