#1 canuck fan Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Windows Vista or higher 600 mb of ram 1 gb memory Ati Radeon Xpress or nvida cards Intel pentium D or M or AMD Anthlon 64 add anymore that ive missed just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Memory and RAM = same thing. I doubt it will require Vista "or higher", especially since there is no "or higher". Not enough people on Vista to justify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate (as thats what San Andreas works on) DirectX 10 (which comes with Vista obviously) 5-10 GB's space 2GB's RAM (from the looks of the graphics, seems like most correct to me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 True! But what about Mac? Mac is in seriuose need of some good games. Yeh, but remember. You can install windows onto mac so that isnt really a problem though it would be a bonus. * Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate (as thats what San Andreas works on) * DirectX 10 (which comes with Vista obviously) * 5-10 GB's space * 2GB's RAM (from the looks of the graphics, seems like most correct to me) 2 gig? Na no way, I mean the PS3 only has 256mb of ram right? And the 360 only has 512 I think. Also I don't think you'd need 10 gb because C&C3 takes up like 4 or 6 gigs and they have put loads of detail and features into that game. I think you need 1Gb for Ram and maybe 7 gig space. But for slower ram and graphics card users you should be able to tone quality down from the main menu in the game. This way most people can play it =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O.D Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 RAM would be a 1 GB, but the VRAM is the one that makes the big difference. A PCI-Express card would suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganich Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 You guys are going tooo high..Grand theft auto won't be developed in DirectX 10 as far as i think and when a company develops a game they keep old machines in their mind its not like gta won't work for 1 or 2 years old pcs. i think specs requirement would be: Pentium 4 or D 3.0Ghz Minimum 1 GB Ram 256 MB Nvidia or Ati Card DVD-Rom 5-10 GB Space.

And hell, running GTA IV on VISTA I'd want more than 2GB of RAM. * Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate (as thats what San Andreas works on) * DirectX 10 (which comes with Vista obviously) * 5-10 GB's space * 2GB's RAM (from the looks of the graphics, seems like most correct to me) 2 gig?

You don't want to run a game if ALL you have on your hard drive is the required space left. You want well over the required space so it doesn't slow down. On top of that, if you're running Vista, you'll want a higher amount of RAM just to keep it from lagging.

The game isn't even ANNOUNCED yet and they are posting specs that would work right now. Trust me, they aren't going too high((with the exception of trying to say it would require VISTA, that would be a stupid move on Rockstar's part and would only benefit Microsoft)). And again, you'd atleast need 1 GB just to keep Vista happy. If that would even cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroScorpion Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 This is my list: Windows Xp or higher 512 Mb RAM 256 Mb Graphic card, DirectX 10 8 Gigabytes of free space 5.1 Sound card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gycu Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) Oh...Sweet memories...I made a topic like this about 3 or 4 months ago but whatever... So are you guys saying that you`ll need WS Wista to run this game? Well...I just hope it will work on XP and hopefully with DirectX 9.0c... As always I`m selfish and I`m thinking only at my PC So I`m saying about the minimum requirements : 1GB RAM (2GB for WS Vista) 256 VRAM ( gfx card ) 5 GB +/- of HardDisk Space Recommanded 1.5 GB RAM ( 3GB WS Vista ) 512 VRAM (gfx card) 5 GB +/- of HD Space... My opinion...I`m sure Spaz will say something about this post and as always he will be right... Edited May 3, 2007 by Gycu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hey, I have Vista! Yay! I'm sure you don't need Vista for it, but don't expect it to run on '95... lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 1)Minimum requirements will never be DX10. Perhaps recommended, but not minimum. 2) Ati Radeon Xpress or nvida cardsIntel pentium D or M or AMD Anthlon 64 Xpress is just on-board, right? No. I'd say nVidia 7600 or ATI equivalent Pentium D, Athlon 64? You nuts? Athlon doesn't even exist anymore and Pentium D is even worse then P4. 3)A game like GTA takes lots of RAM. And the PC version functions differently. If you have Vista you'll at least need 2 gig. 4)Do you know any computer with 600 MB RAM? 5) 5.1 Sound card You will not need 5.1 or a sound card at all. Recommended: Windows XP. Vista to benefit from DX 10 RAM: 1.5 on systems running XP. 2 gig for Vista CPU: Core 2 Duo E6400 or AMD equivalent Free Space: 9 gig free space on HDD Graphic Card: nVidia 7600 (for DX 10 8600 GTS) or ATI equivalent. VRAM: 256 MB, 320 recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaz The Great Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 My opinion...I`m sure Spaz will say something about this post and as always he will be right... Nope, your specs sound decent, I guess. It's still really hard to determine the specs it will require at this point. But there are extremes, IMO. I doubt it would REQUIRE Vista, and I doubt it would be able to run on like 512MB of RAM. We can get a general estimate, atleast, I'd assume. 1)Minimum requirements will never be DX10. Perhaps recommended, but not minimum.2) Ati Radeon Xpress or nvida cardsIntel pentium D or M or AMD Anthlon 64 Xpress is just on-board, right? No. I'd say nVidia 7600 or ATI equivalent Pentium D, Athlon 64? You nuts? Athlon doesn't even exist anymore and Pentium D is even worse then P4. 3)A game like GTA takes lots of RAM.

VRAM: 256 MB, 320 recommended. Why will minimum requirements NEVER be DX10? They would have to be, eventually.... And um, buddy, Athlon still exists.... My CPU is an Athlon. How do they "not exist anymore"? And unless you're sharing your RAM with your GPU and have a really odd combination of RAM, I doubt you'd be able to have 600MB of RAM. You could have 576, though. That's about the closest you could get. Unless you found a 32MB stick of RAM, then you'd have 608MB. But this has absolutely nothing to do with anything o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 GTAIV will never be DX10 only. R* would be stupid if they did that. I didn't mean future games won't be DX10. And Athlon has been taken out of AMDs products just yesterday. So Athlon doesn't exist in the AMD range anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I don't think a avarage Athlon will be enough for GTA IV though. Unless you have a high-end Athlon. BTW, does anyone think GTAIV is NOT going to support Duo core? I don't know any games that actually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not terribly hard to deactivate one of the core sfor a given application, and it'll only have to be done once.. But as for future support? Possibly some... Maybe future Flight Sim Games and some other awesome future titles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganich Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 the most advanced game of this year (Crysis) requires : System Requirements Processor: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz RAM: 768Mb/1Gb on Windows Vista Video Memory: Nvidia 6600/X800GTO (SM 2.0) DVD Only?: 1 Hard Drive Space: 6GB Operating System: Windows XP / Windows Vista DirectX Version: DX9.0c / DX10 Recommended System Requirements Processor: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D) RAM: 1.5GB Video Memory: Nvidia 7800GTX/ATI X1800XT (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent Hard Drive Space: 6GB so how can you say that gta will ask for a high performance pc..it will run on normal system with good graphic card around 256mb and ram: 1gb ..make sure your processor is above 2.6mhz.. i think thats it..you can run the game on full details.

Pandora Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Those Crysis specs you gave are just made up by someone. Nobody yet really knows.. And that also where the minimum requirements. So with unplayable frame rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
