cycon77foamy[GTA Man]' date='Apr 8 2006, 07:54'] For those in doubt go here: System Requirments Check

 

Click Can you ru it? then pick San Andreas then can u run it?

 

There are other games you can test aswell. NOt i use Netscape and it wont run. It runs on IE not sure about Firefox. U need to download Active X only takes 2-10 seconds tops.

That's a great tool, thank you!

I can run SA on min detail with my P3 500mhz almost well. Gets sorta "choppy" sometimes, but not so much it becomes unplayable.

 

But I've also got 768mb of RAM and a GF 6200 256mb vid card, so your performance may differ.

 

But - once again the "minimum" system requirements as outlined on the box are a JOKE as I wasn't supposed to be able to run VC either but again, very few problems with that title also.

I have the most sh*tbox of a PC and yet SA runs so smoothly!

 

I have: 128MB Radeon 9200 GFX Card. 730mHz Processor. 384MB of RAM. 50MB of free disk space.

Since the topic about the GeForce4 MX graphics card is locked, I'll comment here.

 

The fact that the compatibility of the card with SA is even an issue is rediculous. I have this card and have Draw distance and GFX display quality set to the max and the card works just fine. We'll except if I have the resolution higher than 800x600 the game gets jittery. But I don't notice any difference between resolutions anyway other than the HUD and the sub-titles getting smaller the higher you have the resolution set. To top it all off the card is embedded in the motherboard, which according to the "experts" makes it inferior to add-on cards just 'cause it uses a portion of your PC's ram. Thats crap too. I have 1GB of ram so sacrificing 128MB of it to the Graphics card is no big deal.

 

 

whats your system specs? (cpu speed etc)

because i have the nvidia geforce4 and im worrying about how well san andreas will run with my system

i think it will though because all my specs are boardaline or well above the reccomended system specs bored.gif

mod it with Nitrous Oxide and chassis dyno.

I am buying a new laptop, and i would like to ask couple questions ´kay....here we go:

 

1. Is AMD 3000+/3500+ better than intel dual core 1.8Ghz (rest: 1-2gb ram and prob. some radeon x1600 card)..if so, how much better?

 

2. Do you think it would even in theory be possible to run GTA4 with that system?

 

About question 2...im asking could it run GTA4 by looking at playstation.3 performance. (i mean first ps3 games hardly take advantage of the whole power of the console...and GTA4 has been in making long before ps3 release).

 

PS: dont tell me to get desktop, because i need laptop for studies....also i need to make decision fast!

 

PPS: Do you think it would still be worth it to get SanAn for PC since i have played it trough 3 times on ps2...(I mean does PC version have some great benefit over ps2).

Since you are interested in buying a laptop as you are a student, I may help you with your queries as I myself have been using one .

 

1. In a laptop, you should always go for either Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Turion 64 bit processors. The reason is these processors are better equipped to handle your portable needs and their thermal management is excellent which in turn will lead to an extended battery life.

 

On the contrary, if you opt for an AMD 64 bit desktop processor(3XXX/4XXX series), although it may give you a slightly better performance, it will drain your battery pretty quickly.

 

2. Although Microsoft is going to release DirectX10 along with Windows Vista by January-End, and many gamers around the world are training their eyes on DirectX10 GPUs, I personally don't think they will replace DirectX9 so easily. Since you are asking whether you will be able to play GTA4 on your laptop, that is a risky question to answer. The problem with GTA4 is that the PS3 and the Xbox 360 versions will debut only in Oct 2007. And when the PC version comes out is anybody's guess confused.gif Still considering the fact that GTA series never boasted of eye popping graphics, you may be able to play GTA4 on your laptop which you intend to buy. I don't think the future games will be solely manufactured for Vista or DirectX10 . Since Win XP will evidently be supported I don't think Direct X is going to be a problem.

 

3.The advantages which the PC version of GTA San Andreas has over the PS2 one are that it has much smoother and better graphics.It has a better draw distance. Most important of all , it can be modded and you can share your saved games over the Internet wink.gif . I am sure you won't regret if you buy the PC version.

 

Hope this information helps xmas.gif

What do I have to do if when I'm attempting to play the game on my PC, but after it passes the first R* logos, and the credits it goes back to the desktop?

Right click on your computer and click properties, it will give you a hint of what your processor is and how much ram you have. geforce 4 mx isnt too good for this game too.

San Andreas will work well, no doubt. Although I would recommended that you purchase a GeForce 8 graphics card, as it supports DirectX 10.

 

If you want help with purchasing a GPU, ask in the Tech & PC Forum, mentioning your budget, PC specs and the performance you expect out of your graphics card.

Thanks for your help dude. But my budget is limited so i can only afford the graphics card. But nonetheless thanks!

I will return with screens when i get it.

Hey all, I have a friend with an old machine laying around, so yeah here's the specs:

 

Intel Celeron 1200Mhz

256MB PC133 Ram

GeForce2 MX200 32MB

 

Would it even run? suicidal.gif I am 99.9% it would not, 'cuz it is hardly keeping GTA III at stable 20-25fps @ 800x600, so I think it would not run GTA SA even on 640x480 all on low. Do you think that it could make it? ph34r.gif
