Hi friends, when I access this site: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ all the games I choose run in my computer at the recommended settings, except for GTA IV. I want to know if, there's a game more performance demanding than GTA IV. Shifty41s_beerhatsmilie2.gif

i guess that would be CoD: black ops.. it's just as bad as gta iv.. a bad ported game..

COD at least isn't bug ridden like GTA IV is.

 

For demanding games, probably Crysis

C'mon friends are you kidding with me? lol.gif GTA IV is much more performance demanding notify.gif

mkey82 why?? ph34r.gif

 

topog_z I forgot about Metro 2033 I didn't know this game! But the result is like GTA IV

user posted image

EXCEPT that GTA IV is still worst, because my CPU runs with Metro 2033, I only need to download Directx 11 to run Metro 2033, but to run GTA IV at reccommended settings I need to change my CPU cry.gifcry.gif

 

GTA IV Is still the worst wow.gif

But, the GTA IV's CPU requirement is fair. It's a Core 2 Duo, if you've got below that you might want to consider an update. Also bear in mind GTA IV is a CPU intensive game.

Because they just don't compare. Crysis is a poorly optimized PC game, GTAIV is completely unoptimized console port.

Spider-Vice Is my CPU good it is a Intel Quad2Core 2.33 GHz alien.gif I don't understand what means Quad2Core and Core 2 Duo!!

mkey82 but maybe this is because GTA has good graphics and it is in a big city, it isn't in a scenario. Maybe that's why it's so performance demanding. But I think GTA IV is the most performance demanding game in the world. monocle.gif

It's demanding because it is poorly optimized. A properly optimized game would have fared a lot better with lower requirements. The only people to blame are the ones working at Rockstar.

The graphics are a little worse, you've got to consider that a console is weaker. About the lag, the PS3 version lags more often than the XBOX 360 one, imo.

NO FANBOYISM OR PREFERENCES HERE.

Looks like some one has confused demanding with poorly optimised.

Nope. Poorly optimized games are the most demanding because they are never configured well enough to perform on mid-range systems. GTA IV being a game for the next gen PCs is a load of crock-sh*t that Rockstar made up to cover the fact that they failed in porting and optimizing the game properly. This is also the reason why, for some people, it even struggles on the most high end systems that you can find it the market today. It all comes down to being poorly optimized.

Cidamelo, your settings are much too high. Have some sense!

 

You idiots say this game is poorly optimized. No it is not!

 

There is a huge amount of interactivity which they could have cut out, but they have stuck to their guns and put in everything to make the game what it is. That is why I like it. There is nothing to compare it with even remotely.

Atleast crysis had fantastic graphics that made up for the demanding specs required,GTA IV requires a top notch PC and the graphics arent even that great.

There are a lot of games that are graphically pretty, but apart from the linear plot, there is not that much going on.

The RAGE engine was awfully optimized on PCs.

There isn't even THAT much going on and it has craptastic graphics, yet performance is still sub-par.

 

GTA IV is just a bad port.

The thing with those "Can You Run It" websites are they simply compare your system specs to the specs on the game's box so they are not a good indication of performance.

RAGE engine isn't optimized on any platform. The only way to make it run on 20FPS on consoles is by going to extremes - cutting down resolution and details beyond tolerable.

luceberg but I put my settings high because, with settings low, my game stutters a lot! It's funny, but with high my game stutters a little, and with everything low, it's unplayable lol.giflol.gif And I don't like FPS too high, I have nauseas with it sad.gif But will my computer brake with those settings? I'm worried!! Anyway, I don't play the game for long hours sad.gif

Lol. Black Ops is a linear shooter on 5 year old engine and somehow it's running 100 times worse than GTA4.
