Vercetti Thug Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yes and no. Yes it SHOULD run GTAIV with acceptable frame rates. Chances are you WILL NOT get acceptable frame rates. It's like buying a lottery ticket, do you feel lucky?

flyingj Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks for the fast reply. Please remember my GFX card is special edition and above the rest, it cost me double the original price of 8600GT. What settings should I run the game on to get an enjoyable GTA experience.

It's like buying a lottery ticket, do you feel lucky? That sort of summs it up.You don't need a really high end card for this game because it's processor intensive,so guess you'll do fine.Maybe you'll get around 20-35 FPS depending on the settings.But if your machine manages that,than it deserves a Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388124-is-my-computer-good-enough/#findComment-1058816715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Jay Whatever settings you can run that give you a decent frame rate. I can't tell you what settings you should run. All I can tell you is that GTAIV relies heavily on cpu power, and not so much on gpu power.

ron123 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 your low cpu will kill your frames, for this game the gpu almost does'nt matter, sorry for you. I have: q6600 2.4 2 gb ram 9800gt 512 mb win xp sp3 on 1280x1024 with everything on full max I getting 25-30 fps . with my cheap cpu you could get 35-45 fps on 1280x1024 and 25-30 fps on 1920x1050 . your cpu may give you 10-20 fps on min res 800x600 with min settings . you won't play on normal or bellow normal res and settings .

Just the cpu is the single most important factor. With my e8400 @ 3ghz, and car density at 10, im getting 40-60 fps everywhere, at 1440x900. Changing doesnt not help.

Regards, Jay No offence but why buy the "special" edition of the 8600gt when you could of bought an 8800gt or better instead? All they did was overclock it slightly and put an aftermarket cooler on it.

flyingj Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Ok I thought I would buy crysis before GTA 4 to test how good my computer really is. I got 40+ fps on mid settings with 1024x768. I also bought CoD4 to test it and got 80+ fps on high settings (with 4x AA). This tells me that I SHOULD be able to run GTA 4 on about 25+ fps, I'm no expert but if I can run crysis I can run this.

Is it strong enough to play GTA 4, here are the specs: AMD 64 6400+ X2 - 3.2ghz (per core) Nvidia Geforce 8600GT (Special 1gb version) 4gb's RAM Sound blaster 7.1 HD sound card Windows vista home premium (32bit) 550W PSU If my computer is capable of running it, will the games FPS be high enough to enjoy the game. What graphics settings should I run it (if I can) Regards, Jay Funny, i got an AMD Athlon X2 64 5000+ CPU with a 8800GTS 320MB and 4gigs of DDR2 RAM; and the game runs better at 1440x1200 reso compared to what the game originally reccomends me to. I'm just gonna wait to see if there is indeed a fantasy patch to solve FPS issues before ploughing down more cash to upgrade my rig. For the time being the game plays at acceptable frame rates. Still, not worth the $60 bucks i spent on. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388124-is-my-computer-good-enough/#findComment-1058818321 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skythe Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Somebody already said it earlier, it's going to be like playing the lottery. There are people who run it great with rigs worse than yours, and people who can't even run it with top of the line hardware. It's going to be a crapshoot. If you really want the game just buy it and try it out. We can't tell you what to do. The best we can give you is that it should be able to run it.

NO way. 10FPS stable at lowest posible setting If you really want the game just buy it and try it out. Right process should be: Steal, try, throw out Definately do be beggin with "buy" It's not recommended Edited December 29, 2008 by JezdecM4X Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388124-is-my-computer-good-enough/#findComment-1058821758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
