illegalimm Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Now I don't want people getting pi**ed at me but I'm new to gta. I'm trying to run it on: AMD XP 1800 (running at 1500) 512 Ram ATI Rage 128pro 32M (xpert pro 200) win xp os. It runs real slow ALL the time...read all the faq and tried all the mods and patches. One thing I've noticed is that there's no ref to DX 9...will this cause a prob?...is gta compatible with 9? Any info would be real helpful. Thanx.

matthewchamp86 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Works fine for me but then my system probably compensates for GTA3's awful conversion code by now! A64 3800+ 1GB RAM 6800GT overclocked to ultra etc 1920x1440 4xaa 16xaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reldavidson Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Compaq X1000 notebook 1.4ghz - When on battery this goes to 600mhz and GTA3 still works ok 512mb ram 60gb 4200rpm 15.4" 1280 x 800 lcd 32mb ATI mobility Radeon 9200 I use 800 x 600 resolution. There is an option for 1280 x 800 but its choppy. I doubt that this lappy will hold out when gta:sa comes out so im saving for a ati mobility radeon x800 notebook.

Untouchable2K Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Alright people, i upgraded my computer ram to 320 and GTA III runs near perfect on my computer. Windows 98 SE, 320 megs of ram, No hardware soundcard, 5.0 Video Memory, Intel Graphics Card , 82810-DC-100 Graphics Controller. Thats what i am running this game on, and it runs great. No problems at all, havent enter into the big city part yet, but i think it should alot better then before i had 96megs of ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJStylus Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 My specs are below; Even on 640 x 480 16bit it's quite laggy. My computer is optimised for creating music. Is there a graphics card under $350 AUD that can run 1024 x 768 16bit without any noticable lag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samutz Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 (edited) Never did post my specs so I might as well (plus it's the middle of the night, I can't sleep, and I'm bored). Old setup (a month or 2 ago): Intel Celeron - 500mhz 256MB SDRAM (2x128MB) 32MB Video Ram - Intel 810 Chipset (Onboard) Game ran at 1-20 fps, even with SheepyUK's High FPS tool. But it was still playable and beatable without using cheats to make up for the slowdowns. Last setup: AMD Duron - 1.8ghz 224 DDRAM PC2700 (1x256MB) 32MB Video Ram - SiS 741 Chipset (Onboard, Shared) Game will only run at 30 fps or higher if I keep the draw distance at halfway or below and the resolution at 640x480. Textures load slowly (when I drive fast enough I can drive over invisible roads that haven't loaded yet). Also, there's a pause about every 3 seconds, but not like a low framerate. It's more like an irregular heart beat. Oddly enough, I didn't have the pause or texture problem with my old setup. Current setup (same as last with new ram): AMD Duron - 1.8ghz 704 DDRAM PC2700 (1x256MB, 1x512) 64MB Video Ram - SiS 741 Chipset (Onboard, Shared) Game runs much better I can turn it up to 800x600 without lowering the fps, but the texture load problem is still there.

helegad133 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 (edited) AMD Athlon K6-2 500Mhz 124MB RAM (4MB used by SiS 530 Integrated Graphics) 16MB Voodoo 3 40GB Hard Drive 48x/24x/48x/16x (CD-R Write, CD-RW Write, CD-ROM Read, DVD Read) 2FPS! HOLY CRAP I'M ABOUT TO SCREAM! Oh well, I'm up to the 3rd last mission (Espresso-2-Go). After 100%, I'm gonna email Rockstar and scold them for saying that a K6-2 makes GTA3 unplayable. Crappy yes, but I'm used to it. Any tips for getting the framerate up? I've got the detail options on lowest, so don't bother telling me to do that and I've installed a few mods which have really helped. They brought the framerate up 2fps. Wow *cough*! Any help would be much appreciated. From changing data to patches, I'm willing to do anything. For now, I'll just persist with this damn mission.

It's a miracle cuz the card is only 8mb. but it works good, and it sez that the minimum is supposed to be 16mb. liars!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
