davesta Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Also, will an ATI 4670 512MB run it as well? No, but you can get an ATI 3850 512mb for about the same price, and that will run it well. Or, if you want to spend a little more, get a 3870. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratskcoR Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) Everything on my computer meets/exceeds the requirements.. except the video card, which is a NVIDIA 6150SE. I'm not an expert on computers but I know this is the cause of my game running really slow and pretty much not working. (Besides, the game told me in the Graphics Menu that my resources sucked). Can anyone suggest a good + cheap video card that will work, even if it means there'll be a few 'low' settings? Edit: Actually.. In my haste I forgot to note that my processor is AMD Athlon x2 64 2.3 GHz.. not 2.4 GHz like the minimum requirements. Which means two things are wrong.. great.

If your PC has a PCI-express slot, try installing an Nvidia 8600GT, or an equivalent ATI video card, which you can get for about $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'll try to find one. As for the processor, does this mean I'll need a totally new computer altogether? I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to replace your computer if you get a new processor, but I don't think you need one. I was running an AMD x2 2.1GHz a little while ago and it worked fine. If you go for an ATi card, I'd reccommend an ATi 3850 512mb. Great card, for a really low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Get an ATi 4850, it is the best card money can buy if you're looking to spend around $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brotha Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'm getting a laptop soon, not for gaming, but just to have one. It is a + if it can run GTA IV though, can it ? specs: Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile RAM Type: DDR2 RAM (MB): 4 096 RAM Speed (MHz): 800 Graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT Dedicated videomemory (MB): 512 Shared videomemory (MB): 1 791 So, can I run it ? and if so, on what settings do you reckon ?

WRX22B1998 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 What is the clock speed of your processor ? i think with 9600M you should be able to run it. dunno what resolution, maybe 1024x768 medium details...not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratskcoR Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I wonder if the game will work on my XP computer.. Windows XP SP3 1 GB RAM Intel Celeron 2.8 GHz Video card is apparently 'VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP' (the computer was pasted together from different junk), but I don't know if the card HAS to be either NVIDIA or ATI for it to work.

Hmm, no. Celerons suck at gaming, and an integrated graphics solution is more adept at office programs and children's titles like Dora The Explorer but not for GTA IV.

I'll be blunt. Buy a new computer. You'll want: Intel Core2 (duo or quad are both fine, as long as it's a decent speed) At least 2GB RAM, preferably 3, since it's fairly cheap. Make sure you have a motherboard which supports it. ATI 3850, 3870, 4850, 4870 or NVIDIA 8600, 8800, 9600, 9800, 260 or 280.

Shortbus Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Fuck, something just hit me, guys. My Mobo will be SLI, and I've chosen an ATi card...I guess I'm going to have to change to Nvidia. I almost have about 620 dollars which is enough for a computer + monitor. My GPU price range is 280. Should I get a GTX 260 or a 9800GT or something else? I have no idea about Nvidia cards...I guess I better research Edited January 4, 2009 by Shortbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about Nvidia cards...I guess I better research What? You only need nVidia cards in that case if you want to actually USE SLI, which many games don't support and doesn't give you a big framerate increase. Plus the fact that if you do it you will need a much more powerful PSU...around 800w is my guess. Of course you can use ATi cards with nVidia chipsets, I'm doing it right now. nForce 570 mobo with 3870 graphics. But if you want to anyway, GTX 260 is roughly the same as a 4850 GTX 280 is about the same as a 4870 Anything in the 9-series = shit, don't waste your money.

davesta Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a motherboard which supports SLI will also support crossfire, so you shouldn't have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestECull Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Just an FYI My computer runs it just fine @ 1280X720. Here's the specs: AMD Athlon64 4200+ X2 S939, OC'd to 2.4. X1900XT 256 @ 725.5 core 725.5 Mem 2gb DDR400 Vista 64 I have a feeling the game will run on even slower hardware. I can turn my settings up if the game would cooperate.

Will 550W be sufficient to run an HD 4870, 2 120MM fans, and everything else? Yes, but link to the power supply. You need to make sure it has certain features besides just 550w. I believe it requires 2 12 volt rails on the 18amp line or something, just link it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
