GTA IV System Requirements

[Kimd41]

I'm just posting this to let people know how IV runs with the Phenom II X6.

 

Settings -> everything to HIGH except Texture Quality which is medium, all sliders 100. Latest patch. 1280x1024

 

- Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

- Video Card: Nvidia 9800GT 512mb

- RAM: 4 GB DDR2

- OS: Windows 7 64bit

 

Benchmark result: 40fps

I don't know ingame fps, but the game runs smooth so it doesn't matter.

I have the same setup as you except I have the X4 and the 1GB 9800 GT and DDR3 RAM(but DDR3 is overrated so don't worry that you still have DDR2). I just set everything to the same as you and got 40.43FPS in the benchmark. So if you upgraded from an X4 just for this game you blew your money. But then again, since the game only uses 3 cores at the most, the extra 2 don't mean a thing. Although you could run two instances of the game at the same time and ALT-TAB between them. Don't know why you'd wanna do that though. And the 1055T is 600MHZ slower than mine. So I'm getting gypped too. If this game loves MHZ then why isn't my extra 600MHZ making any difference at all? Unless you're overclocking, which you didn't mention.

I upgraded from a Athlon X2 2.0Ghz on which I was getting 25fps on all minimum (with the same graphics card).

 

I didn't overclock, it's on the stock 2.8Ghz but maybe the Turbo thing turned on and overclocked it a bit. But yea, the game doesn't use more than 3 cores.

Turbo? What turbo? There hasn't been a turbo button since the 486 days.

 

 

When I said "...you blew your money" I didn't mean you specifically. I meant anyone who reads that who did that upgrade.

Newest CPUs (like Intel Core i3/i5/i7 and AMD Phenom II X6) have Turbo option, which increases the FSB multiplier when needed.

I must say thanks to Yojo2 for compiling this. I do believe I am going to get group 1.

If you plan to buy this PC after Christmas, then sure do ask again like a week before. I mean in those upcoming months Intel and ATI/AMD are expected to release new products on the market, so we might build you even better PC.

"It should run well on your computer at high visual settings. If you wish improve the experience even further, note that..."

 

yesh

[yoječ]

If you have 7300SE right now, I suppose the rest of your PC is just as old... so buying HD4870 is rather pointless.

[danjodan]

 

Yes! Your system meets the recommended requirements for Grand Theft Auto IV.

It should run well on your computer at high visual settings. If you wish improve the experience even further, note that...

 

* Your video card has 576 MB video card memory. The Game-o-Meter team recommend a video card with at least 1,024 MB.

* The overall performance of your processor and video card is below the Game-o-Meter recommendation.

* The performance of your processor is below the Game-o-Meter recommendation.

Will it really run well?

[BLKMAG]

Danjodan, you'll run it fine at low/med settings.

Wrong, it goes over my 1GB of DDR5 when I try to max it out. Everything @ high works fine, though.

[jorgp2]

[ImLostAndDamned]

Oh god..

I bought my self an 9500GT so i could run this game on the lowest graphic, STILL with fps lag.

I have an Athlon 64 X2 +4400 Processer i guess its called (2.3 GHz Dual Core)

2 GB DDR2 RAM.

 

So, thats why i want an PS3 for christmas.

 

[bobmorton]

In my case, I just got the minimum requirements.

Why did you buy that 9500? 100 series GPU's(and their ATI equivalent) must be dirt cheap by now since Nvidia is up to the 400's(And ATI equivalently evolved).

[yoječ]

There were no GeForce 100 series cards sold to individual customers (OEM market only). Same thing goes for 300 series. Both series consisted of rebranded prev-gen videocards.

Dirt cheap 200 series cards then?

Hey guys i have a PC which i played earlier GTA IV very smoothly... and now that my GPU fried... i am gonna buy a new Graphics card.. please tell if this card can work with my PC.. and yeah i do have The Original GTA IV + Latest Episodes

 

AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.6GHz

MA-770T-UD3P Motherboard

4GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz

620GB Hard Disk + The new Western Digital 2TB Green Hard Disk

HIS ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5 Turbo 5 (E) - (The Graphics card i am gonna buy which is around $200+)

Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit

Blu-Ray Writer + DVD-RW Writer

Razor wireless gaming keyboard and mouse

Samsung 24" HDMI LCD + Toshiba 32" HDMI 3D TV

 

Please tell me if i would be able to pay the game smoothly as recently.. and Yeah many said that 5770 is one of the best Graphics card released.

[yoječ]

5770 for $200? That is quite a lot. For $200 you should be able to get either HD6850 or GTX460 1GB. Both are much faster than 5770.

[StrikerXtreme]

Yeah but too bad newegg doesn't deliver to my country.. i am from Maldives.

[yoječ]

I see. Well, if GTX460/6850 are not within your budget then go for 5770. It's not a bad card after all.

[StrikerXtreme]

No no.. i have budget....... well 5770 is great.. I will buy a Dual 5770.. .

Funny..I've played it on a w701..the 3800 is faster than a 8800GT and 8800Ultra, and it has a i7 and DDR3. I had no problems at all..

 

You trying to correct me again..nope

I've finally got myself a rig that'll play GTA4, but what I want to know before I actually buy the game is wether it'll run at a solid 60fps at any settings. I'll be playing at 1280x1024.

Specs:

Intel Q6600 @ 2.4ghz

GeForce GTS250 (512mb - essentially a rebranded 9800gtx)

2gb RAM

Windows XP.

 

*edit*

For anyone who's interested in how it runs since I got it, it's not too bad. Never drops below 25fps and averages at 35-40fps.

Edited January 4, 2011 by Mealing

[yoječ]

For 1280x1024 it should be fine.

[heat84]

 

For 1280x1024 it should be fine.

I don't think you'll get 60FPS except at the beach and indoors though. Maybe at a lower resolution. Why are you obsessed with FPS anyway? Besides, you won't even notice FPS when you're busy doing something in the game(Unless of course you have Fraps running). And that GTS250 is essentially an 8800 since 9000's are re-branded 8000's.

I play on a 2GB version, and you have a faster CPU compared to my 615e. Look in my sig for what I get maxed at the highest res..

[Whiite Devil]

Intel Core i7 930

GeForce GTX460

Windows 7

6GB RAM

 

I'm going to get a PC with those specs, will GTA IV run well?

[anus]

Yep, should run well.

 

Be sure to get 64 bit Windows 7 though.
