i haven't got IV yet but i will have very soon and i just want to play the dam game and don't care for the quality (the only reason i want it is cause u get to shoot ppl, not for the graphics)i used www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest for some specs

 

my laptop is an asus f5gl notebok series by the way

 

processor- Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU T3400 @ 2.17GHz

ram- 4 gb (only it sez 3gb on a performance site)

OS- microsoft vista premium service pak 1 (32 bit)

video card- NIVIDA GeFORCE 8200M G

 

and with the boring part out of the way, i was wondering if there is anyone here with similar/lower specs than mine that have been able to play the game reasonably well without video lagg

 

thanks for the time taken to read... all of that seems boring but hay... shoot me suicidal.gif

The game might run on a 8200m. You may experience some video lag. Mine runs fine on a 8400GS . And since you have 4 gb of ram you need to install a 64-bit OS to use the full amount of ram because 32-bit can't use more than 3.25gb of ram. To make the game running smooth try some tweaks available. I am sure that with tweaks game should run fine on lowest settings.

If you are planning to get this game not for the graphics and just because you get to shoot people it sounds like you should just buy GTA San Andreas or Vice City. GTA IV will end up looking worse than both of those titles on that spec if it even runs at all.

You should run it fine I got it to run at 13 fps(which isn't anything to to brag about) with no complaints on a:

Intel Celeron Single core @200ghz

2.0GB of ddr2 RAM at 800mhz

NVIDA 9400 gt

I play with lowest settings I love the game but I hate my comp I will be doing some benchmarking with a dual core today just remember to play with up to date drivers

Yea, this guy should be evaluated. Me of all people to say that is absurd, but for him to say those words in that order in that context is so absurd that it reads like a planted anti-gta activist. It is that unbelievable to me lol again of all people me. You know, rappers rapped as if they were gangsters before drug dealers rapped as a hobby. Just sayin.

Next time you ask yourself the question why the government wants to restrict the use of computer games by minors or decide to contemplate the latest school shooting... close your eyes and think about this moment. Everything will suddenly become clear to you.

GTA 4 owns the sh*t out of Older titles even at the lowest settings. Obviously you don't even have the game and you are just puling stuff out of your arse.

I have to agree, GTAIV looks awful at low quality. Its mainly just because the resolution but still. Its nasty.

 

Maybe today Ill get around to posting some compairisons for you. And good luck running GTAIV with a 8200m, you will be lucky if you get 15fps-20fps in all low.

 

And your only playing the game cuz you get to shoot people? wow, wouldent Postal 2 be a better murder training game for you?... GTAIV isn't about shooting people. Its about eating virtual hot dogs and burgers and then going for a spin in your nice car. lol.

I bought this game 7 months ago and I still cannot play. I get 10-20 FPS, and after 10 minutes of playing, the game freezes and I have to reset the computer. This game is a complete sh*t, it's a f*cking joke... null optimization.

 

My specs:

 

AMD Athlon X2 3800+

ATI HD 4850

2 GB RAM DDR2 800

Windows XP 32

Thank you for this comment. It shows the true reason why we love this game so much.

Your CPU is not the best part of your PC.

No wonder why you get laggy gameplay.
