TheTomster Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Intergrated graphics and an i3 processor will not get you anywhere. If you thought this would be a gaming computer, you thought wrong, big time. You'll just have to cope with not being able to play the game.

IronHide-AW Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 ...i am a big fan of gta and i just bought a new system... Then take it back, throw it at whatever sales person said it would be a good gaming rig, do just a little research and get another rig with a real video card and you'll have a much better go.

Stinky12 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Core i3 is actually a dual core not a quad. For your setup, how much are you willing to spend on a graphic card? Is your power supply strong enough to handle it?

DocMenach Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) For that price you could pick up a Radeon 6870 or a Geforce GTX470. This should make so you can play the game, though if you were to upgrade only your video card your CPU would then be your bottleneck and would be holding you back. Your best solution would be to upgrade both your Video card and your CPU. If you can up your budget to $400 your could pick up a Core i5 760 and either a Radeon 6850 or Gefore GTX460. Edit: I just realized that many motherboards will not allow you to use a separate video card if you are using a CPU that has Intel Graphics built in. So there is a very high probability that you wont be able to use a video card unless you also get a new CPU. Do you know what kind of Motherboard you have (Brand and Model)?
