Hi bros out there, i'm extremely new to this forum and i need to seek for help. Recently just bought my new GTA IV PC Version, but after installing, tried playing, it was very laggy, can't even see the cars or the building. I think my graphic card is too low to play this game. I even tried adding a Geforce 7300GT 512MB GPU but it is still the same. So is there any cure for lagging??? Thanks wow.gif

Your CPU and video card is extremely slow. IV is a really demanding game and you need better hardware than that. That video card won't even be able to run other current games at decent settings, it's a horrible video card.

 

Either buy a new CPU and video ard along with a new PSU or overclock your CPU and get a new video card and PSU.

Why you play GTA4 on such sh*t PC?

7300 is way faaaar away from the minimum and you expect smooth gameplay.

And you CPU is old, the 2000 series cant play games at smooth.

Your kidding?

9400GT wont play the game smooth.

Atleast 4850 or 9600GT

Both the cards you mentioned are horrible. Aim for atleast a 9800GT/HD4830.

 

How much can you spend?

IV doesn't really benefit from SLI or Crossfire all that much, if at all. So you might as well go for a single card solution. A GTX285 would do great.

 

The CPU is great though, no problems there.
