Alvas. Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (ALVASI @ Oct 6 2008, 08:00 PM) Can My Computer be able to run it ? BTW Here are my specs : Windows XP SP2 Intel Pentium 4 - 3.00 ghz 1 GB Of Ram Nvidia Geforce 6200 - 256 mega bytes of graphics memory Can it ? No, you will need to up your graphics and CPU Dude I Think it can because my computer is able to run crysis and Doom 3 at full graphics ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 8800 GT can just handle Crysis on high so there is no way your 6200 can even get close. Don't get me started on your CPU. Also Lonewolf^ Crysis' graphics is "heavier" than GTA IV.

chris82 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Also Lonewolf^ Crysis' graphics is "heavier" than GTA IV. No. GTA IV looks A LOT better than Crysis in a lot of areas, but because Crysis is one of the most poorly optimized games ever made, kind of like Halo for the PC, it doesn't matter.

ZohanJohan Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 as long as the board is PCI-e x16 than the 9600GT should work for you. i too have an older ASUS board with a nearly 3 year old BIOS, the P4V800D-X to be exact. seems ASUS stops updating BIOSs for boards once they are a year or more old. but i would say u can play the game on low to medium, may be jerky with that 7950 (not dissing it, it just prolly wont perform the best with IV). consider the BFG 9600GT, very good card. i have to say that any computer that can run Crysis on low at 15-30fps should pull of GTA IV on low. keep in mind Crysis was very poorly coded, and R* usually codes their PC games very well. for example, San Andreas ran fine for me on a Geforce2 GTS 64mb (1024x768, medium settings). im sure it will be a big surprise to everyone when that game (IV) will run on systems with lower specs.. and where the hell are they with the Minimum reqs?! shouldnt be too much longer, my guess is sometime after the 1st. I plan to run it on 11x8 because while my monitors native is 12x10, i was used to how 10x7 looked on my old monitor that when i changed it, i kept the orientation. 18 inch flat viewable 10x7 19 inch lcd 11x8 Like i said I passed the Crysis minimum requirements and the max ones for GTA 4 are less than Crysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slyde Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 How bad can your PC be to get SA on that low with a 9600GT. You guys need to fact check more. A 9600GT can run SA on full plus another 30 more in the background. (That's more CPU and ram but you get the point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_orange90_x Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) ya claude, u either have a crippled card or the world's worst chipset.. a 9600GT could handle 30+ San Andreas's at the sametime with no lag. or, maybe you confused the NVIDIA 9600GT with the ATI Radeon 9600? and for the post at the top, it IS possible to play Crysis on that setup. it is very close to my specs with a little faster CPU and i used to have the same card, the 6200 OC 256mb. the game ran on lowest settings at an avg. of 12-15fps. it is possible, just very very very laggy!

x_orange90_x Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) then how do u explain such bad performance? u must have 1gb of PC2100 and a P4 without HT.. and even then it shouldnt be that low. i used to play it on a Dimension 4100 w/ P3 733MHz, 384mb PC2100, GF2 GTS 64mb, and Windows XP Pro on medium settings at 1024x768 with much better frames than 10-14. im not tryin to be an ass or anything, im just saying that u cant blame the video card for that low of performance when it can play Crysis on High in 1440x900 just fine. dude, its gotta be somethin in your computer that is causing it. is your game modded by any chance?

claude-5 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) nope, unmodded right now , im pretty sure its my card tho cuz my specs are Intel Xeon Quad Core X5355 2.66 GHz 4GB DDR2 RAM nvidia geforce 9600GT 512MB 500GB HDD windows XP x64 Edited October 8, 2008 by claude-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_orange90_x Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) im gonna take a stab at this one: it COULD be because of Windows XP 64bit. San Andreas AFAIK isnt 64-bit friendly. download a Virtual Workstation of some sort and install XP 32bit and put San Andreas on that. i'll bet it will run fine. or since you have a 500gb drive, make a new partition and just dual boot 64bit and 32bit. and why a XEON Quad Core? those are server processors, not really for gaming. edit: try this first: lauch the game after its loaded, ALT-TAB out CTRL-ALT-DELETE to open Task Manager find gta-sa.exe in the Proccesses right click it and click Set Affinity uncheck all but the first core click ok, close task manager and return to your game. this may work for you seeing how u have 4 cores and SA is a Single Core application.

Captain318 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 @Claude-5 maybe your PSU isnt quite up to snuff? You should be getting excellent FPS on that card as I used to use one primarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 i think the 9600GT is an overrated card, it cat even run SA on full, it gives me 10-14 FPS when i do yeah thats weird. my friend has a 9600GT he has crysis on like high settings for pretty much all. (i think 1280x1024 res) and its fine. san andreas gets maxed to whatever res the monitor can take, full settings, full aa. not even a chance of thinking about attempting to lag lol.

cosbuster Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Really strange considering SA can run on full on a 9400 GT with better fps (probably the worse card for video games in existance) and btw , when you say you can run Crysis on full on a 9600GT do you mean with or without AA? i own a 9800GT and having lag with more than 2xAA on 1280x960 and high details.

Slyde Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Up to? GTA IV can not run on integrated graphics, especially with such a low performance CPU. To answer you question, no. Not even if it was 640x480. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably one of the best cards for multimedia PCs since its temperature is kept low , it has no annoying sounds and it also has low power consumption. I wouldn't count on it but you may be able to play on lowest settings if your RAM and CPU are up to the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
