yoječ Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Alternatiwely you can run GPU-Z app to check what graphics card you have. "Probably 256mb or 512mb" doesn't tell us anything about your video card.

(So the new will be either that or better) This is what it says::: Video Controller Intel® Integrated Graphics; Full Support for Microsoft DirectX 10 (do not know what that means) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/500789-will-my-laptop-run-gta-iv/#findComment-1061073075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Ok, so I have a 512 mb NVIDIA GeForce 8200 M G First off, that card is only 256MB dedicated vram-the rest is shared with the system ram...I have that exact card on another PC(originally came with Vista, but got the free upgrade software for Windows 7 from HP back when they had that option going on), is how I know..lol Next, Yes, it will run the game, but you will only get like 5-7fps-I know, I have a PC with that exact card, and that is all IV and EFLC gets on it... Since you are on a laptop, you cannot upgrade, as the video cards are soldered into them(according to a local PC repair shop in the Gulfcoast area)...So, there is really NO way to get the game to be "playable" on that machine, unfortunately ... Alternatiwely you can run GPU-Z app to check what graphics card you have. Why install a third party application, when Windows comes with a default(and easier) way to do it-without having to download anything extra..lol Edited February 8, 2012 by radioman Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/500789-will-my-laptop-run-gta-iv/#findComment-1061073145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram really has nothing to do with the Video card's performance...however, laptop cards cannot be upgraded without having to replace the motherboard and processor, since the cards are soldered into laptops.......

unc13bud Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...-G.11360.0.html specifications for the 8200m so you got only eight shader processing cores... mimic the settings i've posted in other threads, and change the distances to 1 instead of 5 or 6 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/500789-will-my-laptop-run-gta-iv/#findComment-1061074647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
