GTA Don Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Good luck with getting the game to run on an integrated graphics chipset and a single core processor. If God likes you, it might just run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Christmas, I think you should probably be asking for a new PC, rather than GTA IV for PC. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extender Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) Sigh. I'm worried that I will not be able to run this game with high texture etc settings, high traffic density and normal resolution. They should make sure that recommended settings are real! According to the recommended settings, my rig is above the recommended system settings, well almost (GPU PNY 8800GT 512MB and 4GB of RAM. CPU is C2D E8400, recommended is QUAD). But most of the people are telling me that I will be able to run it with 1280x1024 and medium settings. So does QUAD really affects it so much? When your computer is the same what minimum requirements are, then it should mean that You are able to run it with low settings and low resolution. When Ur computer is better than minimum but does not succeed recommended, then It should mean you are able to play it with medium settings and medium resolution. But when it is above the recommended, then it should mean that you should be able to run it with almost everything high and high resolution. And my computer is better than recommended(besides QUAD CPU). So only because of the QUAD I will not be able to run this game with normal resolution and high settings? That's funny because when I was building my computer then I had to choose between Q6600 and E8400 and most of the reviews and articles told that E8400 is above the Q6600. But I guess GTA IV knows how to use 4 core's and that's why is it so. But still it frustrates me that just because of the 2 core CPU I will not be to play this game with max settings and good resolution.

Mabuba Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hi Guys! HELP ME GET OUT OF HERE! GTA4 is about to come out. However, here I am still struggling with my pc specs wondering if it can be able to make it run eventually! I downloaded Tomb Raider: Underworld yesterday, I tried to run that game with the graphic quality of middle level, and most of the special features turned on, also with 1086*768. What I found is that although the graphic not hundred percent fluently on my laptop but I can actually play that game properly without any incidents happen. IN a word, play it comfortable under the settings I mentioned above. SO, all I want to know now is, whether I can be able to play GTA4 base on the similar level of settings as in the Tomb Raider: Underworld on my laptop??? Cheers!!!

I think cos they tested it on a really new card (whenever it was), that too. @gtaivnerd Sorry to say, but no way in hell. You got a intel integrated graphics = shit. @Mabuba the requirements are posted. whether you can play or not, nobody can say for sure, but you might be able to play it on lowest settings. @extender you should be able to play that easy! E8400 might be core 2, but the end of the day , its 3GHz core 2. I think when they benchmarked other games, they compared that against Q6600, Q6600 was only faster at stuff you would expect, like video encoding and stuff like that. Although GTA4 might be more optimised for multicore compared to other games / apps. 8800GT as well is a very good card. If they are saying the "recommended" is a 8600GT, you will be able to run this in very high settings I would think...what resolution do you run ? You would have no problem running 1280x1024 in very high detail. Although that's not a guarantee, I am pretty sure you would be able to run it in high settings. If you have Vista you get the benefit of DX10 too, so that will help too. @ice no. not with a intel integrated. as said before, you need a reasonably good dedicated video card (9600GT is a good price about now..$120 i think) to be able to play this.

The Intel Quad 2.4 ghz is the lowest processor on their side after 2 cores. The Phenom x3 2.1 ghz is AMD's lowest processor after 2 cores. A quad core isn't REALLY recommended, otherwise AMD would have had the x4 as recommended instead of an x3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZohanJohan Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) On Ebay today. I won a x2 4800 Toledo, the fastest dual core compatible with my current mobo after a BIOS upgrade. I'm one of the few single cores that can upgrade to a dual in the same mobo with a BIOS update.

WRX22B1998 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) @Nedizz well 4870 is a great video card, definitely up there. AMD X2 6000+ you will be able to play for sure. also, make sure you get a brand name power supply (antec, thermaltake, coolermaster etc) with about 430W + (i think thats enough). I'd get another gigabyte of ram too, 1gb is enough for day-to-day use, but if you are planning on gaming i'd get at least 2gb. Also are you going to use vista or XP ? Vista will give an advantage with DX10, but like I said before, you'll want more ram. what internet type do you have? and what speed is it? go check on speedtest.net. 150ms isnt too bad, when i played medal of honor online on USA servers, my ping was like 250. its ok, but dont bother trying to snipe people cos it just doesnt work. @Lid431 Im not too sure about your specific mobo, but other ASUS P5L have a PCI-E x16 slot. I'd be saying yes, but check before you order it. Google for "Everest", a program that tells you a lot about your computer and it will tell you what slots your motherboard has @Chip Yeah i think you would be able to play on low.
