tiedie Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 lol... like someone else said, some of you people think you need to go out and buy new video cards for this game...new x850's...6800s....this isnt farcry 2 or halflife 2 (insert exp name here) jesus Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/193573-whats-the-difference-really/?do=findComment&comment=2869953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forfit Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I dont think it really matters as long as you have the video card that meets recommendations unless you are all picky...but i think of it as ford and chevy....some people like ati...some like nvidia, its all opinion, im sure both cards will run the game just fine.

scabo19 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 OH ati this nvidia that.Hu really cares man. As some1 said in the pc requirements forum, as long as ur card is above minimum specs then it will run well. This is not any doom 3,half life2 or far cry,it is gta.

noVa Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 all i can tell you from experience lower spec'd chips from ATI like the 9200 run hot i cant say about the nvidia lower ones ( altho i have been told they dont run as hot) but i know that 9200's etc run very hot otherwise they are pretty much matched.

It just better do 1024X768X32, that's all I ask I have a FX 5200 256 MB PCI, and it better do 1280x1024 for SA. VC can do that just fine, so I think it'll work.

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 To be honest the difference isn't that noticable especailly for SA, both companies have similar leveled cards for each level of price vs performance. As others have said its personal preference.

kshep92 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Mine is an X300 from ATI. people say its not all that but i'm fine with it so far. Running MP2 at 1024x768 with all options tuned up to High and I am yet to see a stutter (except for smmoke and fog effects). I'm thinking of buying another card though just to make sure that I can keep up with the games that are going to come out next year. Anyway, I don't think that i'll have a problem running GTA:SA.

Cran. Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 ATi and nVIDIA cars will be pretty much the same. It's not like HL2 or Doom 3 with people trying to get as many frames as possible you know. You wouldn't notice the difference between playing it on a ATi card or nVIDIA. @Camaro d00d man, my friend has a AGP fx5200 and it runs crappy on 1280x1024 so don't expect anything better from your PCI fx5200.

Confucius Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I have a 64m GF3 card, and I'm kinda worried about it. Should I play sa in 1024*786*32? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/193573-whats-the-difference-really/?do=findComment&comment=2871845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshep92 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 i wouldn't recommend doing that. Playing in 800x600 will work just fine, aything lower than that and you'll start to see the game looking a little a little funny.

I have the exact identical card, except I would be getting PC but then I'm going to get the xbox version just incase the card runs the game like garbage. I have to say that ATI is only good for Half-Life games, and that Nvidia is basically good all around gaming.

RCagent Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 You guys really shouldn't be complaining. I have a Geforce 4 MX. Aslong as the game can run in atleast 30 frames and over (like Vice City) thats fine. I'll lower to 800x600 if I really need too.

YeTi Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I'm on a Geforce FX5600 256mb . Although i don't really think it will make much difference to the actual gameplay. Obviously if you've got a top of the range titanium card it will display the graphics better than a MX440 or something similar.

StuntGames Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 sparky63 : It might work, you never know, I played battlefield 1942 on my laptop that had a 16mb nvidia GFmobile card, even though the min. specs were a 32 mb card. For those of you that dont have very good cards, I suggest that you reformat/do tweaks to your harddrive and windows so you can achieve 1024x768 without much lagg. That means turning off all unnecessary processes, no resource hogs, turning off the indexing service, getting latest drivers, and most of all, adjust windows for best performance. <-- helps alot. If Im not mistaken GTA is a directX game so it should run better on Nvidia cards.....I remember them being better at directX and ATi at openGL but I cannot confirm this. I also read that R* will work harder on making this port run even better than VC. (remember gta3?), so Im sure that unless you have a really crappy video card the game should run very well.

-NeMo- Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Rockstar has already made one devilish contract with Sony that pisses me off. I guess they won't make another one with ATI (cause I have an nVidia card) like Frontier did with RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (god it runs so crappy on nVidia cards) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/193573-whats-the-difference-really/?do=findComment&comment=2872621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
