Chris Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 The official Games for Windows website has added a page for GTA IV. On it they've included the recommended system requirements for the game, no minimum specs have been included though so we may have to take this with a pinch of salt for the time being. Here's what they're suggesting: OS: Windows XP SP2Processor: Dual core processor (Intel Pentium D or better) RAM: 2GB Hard Drive: 18GB free hard disk space Video Card: 512MB Direct3D 10 compatible video card or Direct3D 9 card compatible with Shader Drive: DVD-ROM dual-layer drive Not sure if your computer is up to the task? For some weeks now we've had a thread on the forums for just that. Will my PC run GTA IV? Here you can post your specs and read our own best estimations at the specs, and some of our more knowledgeable members will do their best to advise on any upgrades we think you may need. Thanks GTAGaming. EDIT: The information appears to have been removed from the Games for Windows site. The reason for this is currently unknown.

Slyde Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Cool, I'm set. 18GB seems a big high though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I'm screwed. I was hoping to get a nice laptop for schoolwork for my birthday or Christmas but now it looks like I'll need something a little better. 18GB is just way too much, Crysis was only 12 or something. Now we wait for the minimum requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rappo Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) This sucks, I don't meet them by a longshot (and really didn't expect to, but there was at least an ounce of hope in me). I'm going to wait it out and make sure there is some good modding support before I actually decide whether or not I want to upgrade my PC. By the way there are two new screenshots on there as well http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Publi...taivscreen1.jpg http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Publi...taivscreen2.jpg Edited September 13, 2008 by rappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 That's kinda' hefty... I think another stick of RAM and a better video card (7600 or something) would do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 This is great to know, because that confirms my hypothesis that my PC will explode if I try to play GTAIV on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Crysis is 6.89 GB. They better have some high-res textures. RAM schould be fine for XP. Vista will need 3 GB though, I think... And their CPU and Graphic Card specifications mean practically jack if you ask me. But sounds pretty reasonable, with exception of the HDD space needed, but I don't care about that, just justifies buying that 1TB HDD I wanted and hopefully means they won't have those blurry textures this time 'round.

pranavsg07 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 How can XP SP2 be recommended if it does not support DX10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 To my knowledge, DX10 certified graphics cards work fine on DX9.0c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashon. Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 There is no way in hell my computer stacks up to those requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 How can XP SP2 be recommended if it does not support DX10? The OS area in game requirements is the same in minimum/recommended. You need Windows XP with Service Pack 2, although it will function on Vista as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoLuTioN Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Funny the GFW site says that the Recommended requirement are coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeAtH Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 OS: Windows XP SP2 -Check Processor: Dual core processor (Intel Pentium D or better) -I have AMD Athlon 64 3500+ ~2.2ghz, is this fine? RAM: 2GB - I have 1.5GB Hard Drive: 18GB free hard disk space - I don't think it will be actual size, real size will be like 5-8GB. Video Card: 512MB Direct3D 10 compatible video card or Direct3D 9 card compatible with Shader - What is Shader? Like Shader Model 3 or something? If so I gotta get new video card.

GTA Don Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hah! They'have taken it off and replaced the text with coming soon. It was probably just their guess and Rockstar must have heard about it and asked them to take it down because they weren't the official requirements. Silly GFW.

MrLlamaLlama Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Firstly, you posted in CAPS, which is ugly and stupid, then... you posted info that everyone has posted before, in caps. Then, you basically told admins to take it off the front page.. they'll do it when and if they want to, not on your whim. And at the time of posting, the GFW site still had the info, now that's developed, the admins will choose to edit it, or remove it. When they choose to, not when you, me, Jesus, or anyone else says they have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
