GTA Don Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Not really. I recommend at least a 3850, or maybe a 3870 if you can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosbuster Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) You think a Core 2 Duo is a beast? I think you're out of date My PC is even better than that xD It really depends on how you are looking at it. Considering the proccessors with 4 cores yes , core duo may even be considered as outdated, but, for the average user still stuck with a Pentium 4/D it certainly looks like a beast. Hell , if the requirements weren't considered high this very thread we are posting in wouldn't even exist.

Wezqu Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Not really. I recommend at least a 3850, or maybe a 3870 if you can afford it. Do you mean its not good card or do you mean the game can't work on it? I would think it still works on it but you can't expect high graphics.

Captain318 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 These requirements are indeed quite shocking. I will expect a major visual upgrade over the console version on the Recommended specs. Looks like my rig will max it out @ 1440x900. Maybe even DX10 if supported. Any one know if it will support DX10 mode?

U kidding? If your rig won't max it out then only UFO's would. So, can anyone tell me if my processor AMD 64 X2 Athlon 4600+ 2.4 GHZ, (minimum required) with a ATI HD4850 can play at max graphics in 1280x1024?

gtafan09 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) I saw this chart. Does anyone now why ATI Radeon HD 3870 is far more better than ATI Radeon HD 4850, both 512 MB? Isn't 4850 supposed to be better than 3870? here's the chart http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/gaming-...-v1-02,735.html Edited November 1, 2008 by gtafan09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZohanJohan Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 This is my single core rig ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe Athlon 64 3500 Oced to 2376 via the BIOS 8% AI overclock Likewise the 2 GB DDR dual channelmemory is OCed to 432 mhz The EVGA 9600 GT KO is overclocked to SSC speed just before running a game I play on 1152x864 resolution on my 19 inch 4:3 LCD Vista Ultimate 2007 version In Warhead in DX 9 mode i'm able to set textures, shades, water and sound quality to mainstream while the rest is minimum and motion blur off and it looks and plays good enough for me. Will GTA 4 get that same custimization in game so i can do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It will probably include effects options, traffic density is already confirmed to be customizable. I would assume texture quality and other things of that nature would be as well. But that's irrelevant for you. The minimum the game requires is a dual-core processor. This leads me to believe that that the game, if it will run at all on your processor, will run horribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZohanJohan Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I will try to play the game on my system as is. However, i'm also looking at http://www.magicmicro.com/ a custom build barebone site. I have a lot of stuff i like on my computer and i want to keep as much as i can but improve my CPU for this game/take the multicore plunge in general. If the game's not good enough on my current one. I will not wait until 2010-11 when it's probably time my bro upgrades his current Quad Core and i inherit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Hey guys, recently some new information came flooding in which, once again, has put possible flaw into my choice of purchase, thanks to Dell. Apparently many Dell computers have a PSU that, somewhere, has some voltages reversed in there somewhere to make their PSUs proprietary, therefore it (one not proprietary to Dell) might not work in powering my computer. I've found alternatives for some voltage-switching PSUs which are suitable for Dell computers ( http://www.pcpower.com/power-supply/silencer-470-atx.html ). I don't know much about my PSU (everest doesn't seem to talk about it), but I know it's a Dell Power Supply for a Dimension E521, 305W PSU, model number N305n-03; I don't know how to find out about it either. Dell's site is slow as hell and unorganized beyond belief, I cant find shit there. Any insightful knowledge guys?

ZohanJohan Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 EVGA 9600 GT KO Get a 4850 instead and you might want to upgrade the processor a bit. 1. Most of the stuff i just bought when i thought GTA 4 wouldn't have a dual core as minimum. My video card is more than enough. 2. The x2 5200 will be a big step up for me compared to my current single core. I would upgrade higher but the mobo can't go Phenom. Plus i wanted multiple IDE connectors to keep my hard drives and that PCChips one has 4, 2 for my hard drives, and 1 for my DVD DL burner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
