copperwire93 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Probably, but still result lag gameplay. If you planned to buy, I suggest you wait until so-called second patch release. Until then don't bother you will had more tension than fun.

cacarla Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 k but should i upgrade and get a quad core? would that boost my fps alot? Not alot but considerably. Some dual cores handle the game pretty well, so no problems with that.

ayushisrocking Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 k but should i upgrade and get a quad core? would that boost my fps alot? obviously since this game is more CPU-dependent than GPU-dependent due to RAGE.But if you want to get a really good FPS then get a quad core-extreme processor(intel QX) i'll list some below: (45 nm; QUad core-extreme editions...GET THESE for the best CPU performance,these are MADE for overclocking...QX series is better for gaming than the Core i7.

cant remember Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Your RAM and GPU are fine. The only thing i'm not sure about is the processor. With those specs the CPU would most probably be the bottleneck.

Sorkenlol Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 You'd probably be able to run it smoothly with medium/low settings. If you have the money, you could get a new CPU but it's not necessary. I have a similar computer and I run it at low settings and high vechile density (Amount of vechiles in area) with a stable 30-40 FPS.

Chevyboy Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'd OC the processor personally. Most if not all of intels C2D's OC quite well, some very well in fact. A quad (game uses 3 threads so 3+ core processors will have the advantage here) will have the best potential however fast C2D's can run the game just fine. I know first hand that the jump from 3.16 - 4Ghz on a duo is worth a significant amount of average FPS in this game, that *should* mean that a bump from low to mid 2's to high to low 3Ghz's will net similar FPS boost. If you want a new processor snag one, if you don't want to upgrade just for GTA4 then your best bet would be to OC. After all it's almost a crime NOT to OC an intel chip Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/390339-would-i-be-able-to-run-gta-4/#findComment-1058850959 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually means very little. I run with max settings (- view distance) @ 1680 x 1050 on a E8500 @ 4Ghz and a 512MB 4870 and 4gb of 1066 ram. My in game benchmark is low to mid 50's (60+ with medium textures) and I can sure as hell promise you that is NOT what it averages in game. My rule of thumb seems to be about 10 FPS lower than the benchmark will be your aprox average in game. That said as I've said all along, fast C2D's have no issue with this game whatsoever. By no means NEED a quad although they certainly can help.

SyddersChap Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 lorand, might I suggest you visit http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest (otherwise know as Can You Run It)? Sorry if this advice has been given before but it installs a small piece of software and then runs a diagnostic on your PC. The results are easy to understand and best of all you get a pass/fail for minimum and recommended system requirements in two seperate tabs. My PC does not cut the mustard I'm afraid so I'm in the process of a much needed rig-upgrade to an entry-i7 (Corei7 920/GTX 260 etc etc. I haven't upgraded for many years and am still using P4 3gig/AGP 7900GS/old memory etc).
