Wish me well with GTA IV...... Edited December 6, 2009 by GM965_X3100 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/434747-gta-iv-on-integrated-solutions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigglyass Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 yes it will:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyJpzGNFdhs Well its not like i care enough to try to convince you to not to invest your money in that computer as it will run very poorly. And no you cant overclock OEM computers. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/434747-gta-iv-on-integrated-solutions/#findComment-1059672764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM965_X3100 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Well the computer is already bought, and as evidenced in the video, GTA IV will run smoothly, until I can upgrade to a 9800 GT future wards.

Well yeah on another note, 9800 is great but have you considured the CPU being a bottleneck? Guess not, that 9800 which you plan to buy wont give its full potential.

Murcchachosa Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 You need also a good CPU. And the 8200 is a horrible GPU, you can compare it with the GPU from Commodore64 lol Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/434747-gta-iv-on-integrated-solutions/#findComment-1059672779 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkey82 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I don't know about prices there, but 882$ was a terrible deal, IMO. Only a few days ago, I purchased for a friend of mine something like C2D E5300 2.6GHz (a cheap CPU, we were on a tight budget, for 50$ more could have a much better CPU) a cheap Gigabyte mobo 320GB SATA Samsung 2GB DDR RAM HD 4670 512 MB - a very nice card for it's price, couldn't believe it 80$ some mediocre PSU - total 500$ plus a cheaper screen for 300$ it would come to 800$ and still here everything is 30% more expensive.

radioman Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) It will run, but don't expect more than 10-15fps max. I have almost the exact same set up on my Hp laptop-AMD Athlon X2 64 Dual Core (2.10GHZ) 3GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 8200M G (1407MB VRAM) and Vista Home Premium SP1, and that is what I get right now, but that is "playable". Funny thing is, my desktop has the exact same specs-but the video card is a ATI Radeon X1250 (1407MB VRAM) and the same OS and the exact same Processor and Speed and the exact same ram as the laptop, and it will not run IV, which leads me to believe that Nvidia cards are better the ATI Radeon cards for gaming? $882 is a little high for that PC, since you have not very good specs-I only paid $488 for this laptop at Wal-Mart #1362, so you should have shopped around a little more before buying a new PC.-Just a heads up.

Confucius44 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Computers don't cost the same everywhere. They are probably a bit more expensive in Jamaica than in the US.
