GTA IV System Requirements

[flyer2359]

I really just think the minimum requirements on GTA IV aren't what you need to play the game, but that's what you need to get similar graphics to console's(High settings, maybe some medium) so that means that people with slower hardware such as myself should be able to play it just with lower graphics settings. So there is really no point in upgrading unless if you want to surpass what the console's look like.

The min/max markers are bugged I guess, but that is where my PC ranked.. The max bar is supposed to be around 9,000 so I pas smax with that test.

 

 

This one is going strictly by the requirements. My CPU (64 x2 6000)is the only thing that lags.

The one thing that really bugs me is how come a Q6600 is (allegedly) better then a E8400 which is known to be much better for gaming, i think R* is just labeling a technology so they won't have to deal with both Intel and AMD on different terms of performance. time will tell but it should be easy to tell that as long as the game uses DX9 things will not change much for the quad core CPUs.

just my opinion.

that's what ive been saying in the requirements topic 100 times

[ROFL2008]

They just want that we buy new hardware

[fuckin playa]

Yes but it's better cuz Games in future maybe will need better hardware then old.It's better to buy new hardware.It's good for me!

[killerkid]

On yougamers test I get:

Either your hardware is too new, too old or too rare - we don't know enough of it to give an accurate estimation. Sorry.

However, Intel, nVidia, ATI and AMD are all stupid f*cking liers who wants to have money.

I have some words for them:

 

"Get die you stupid motherf*cking dicksuckers!"

nVidia are really dumb busy, some DX10 cards are too f*cking slow!

Stupid 8000/8700 series!

ATI pwnage nVidia

Hell no!

1.6 GB free hard disc?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

WHAT?!!??!!?!??!

Am I blind? :S

[ROFL2008]

I think that the game is good compressed or maybe they mean 16 GB

[GTA_XP]

I think that the game is good compressed or maybe they mean 16 GB

Lol, 16GB is good compressed?

But thats no problem.

But they didnt have minimum or max.

[ROFL2008]

I think theyre minimum because every new game today need as minimum 1 Gb Ram

[flyer2359]

I think theyre minimum because every new game today need as minimum 1 Gb Ram

and in another 2 to 5 months the minimum will be 1.5GB for XP and 2GB for vista

[GTA_XP]

I agree.

[TruXter]

picture if these two purchases came at the same time.

 

Ok let's say you have a dual core 3 gig budget processor and an nvidia/kaser 8800 512mb budget video card you bought $50 brand new and lets say pc 4200 ddr 4 gigs. and use vista ultimate premium

by all readings that these two "tests" do, you make the requirements.

 

someone else on the other hand bought nvidia bfg 8500 gt 512 mem for $500 , dual quad 1.8 cpu 2 gigs ocz pc6400 ddr2

on vista home with all resource hogging items stripped out. no themes. nothing useless to a gamer.

 

by these specs this computer does not make the standards.

we all know the lower own would pwn the dog drippings out of the top one.

 

If you people just relax

and do your benching of your parts in game.

you will see that you will be fine.

this might actually make a real life pc gamer out of you.

heh heh...well I can run SA with hi-poly mods, so I'll hope for the best.

[Rim]

Damn, FAIL. My graphics card is too lame for GTA IV

I need to buy a new laptop, when have more money...

[ROFL2008]

I will overclock my graphics card so i can maybe play it at medium or low ;D

A new graphics card is too expensive for me

[GTA_XP]

I wanna overclock my Pentium II at at least 25 MHz further

I overclock my nVidia GF 2 DDR 0.1 at 15 mhz.

Hopefully it can handle GTA IV on maxxed out xD

[ROFL2008]

It's an radeon X1650 Pro 512 MB GDDR3

I will overclock it ;D

[flyer2359]

Remember overlclocking isn't always such a great Idea since it generates more heat to the card and you will still probably only get a 2-4fps difference in the end. Also by the time that card starts to heat up the less FPS you will get because the card has to work harder to keep it self cool

[Canoxa]

Dang, I need a new gfx card.

But a higher average FPS is also the result = WIN.

As long as you have decent ventilation you should have no problems as long as you set your GFX fan to max while OCing it and keep an eye on those temps.

If you are watercooled like meh you can torture those GFX cards to the max and get over 15 to 20 extra average FPS on most aps.
