Chris Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Following on from their hands-on preview earlier, IGN have released the official minimum and recommended PC specifications for GTA IV. They did it at the same time as officially (sort of) announcing that the game will be delayed, as was rumoured recently due to many online retailers pushing back the date to 2nd December. There's no word directly from Rockstar yet, but we suspect IGN has better sources than Amazon. We'll keep you updated if we hear anything from R* on the matter. Minimum System Requirements OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3 Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz, AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4Ghz Memory: 1.5GB, 16GB Free Hard Drive Space Video Card: 256MB NVIDIA 7900 / 256MB ATI X1900 Recommended System Requirements OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3 Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz, AMD Phenom X3 2.1Ghz Memory: 2 GB (Windows XP) 2.5 GB (Windows Vista) 18 GB Free Hard Drive Space Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870 Still not sure if your PC is up to the job? Check our helpful forum thread. For convenience, the specs will be permanently on our GTA IV system requirements page, to save you having to find this news post.

Graphics card can handle it too, which is ftw. Hell, this is gonna be an awesome experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ah fuck. Gotta clear out my C drive, move some of my shit into my other hard drives. I still have like 1TB free space but it's only semi-organised. C drive is nearly full! I'll be fine running it but I'm no longer so sure about running at 1680x1050 on max settings :/ It's been a long time since I had a look at graphics cards, anyone know how well my nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 320MB squares up to the recommended nVidia card there, as I've no idea? BTW it also utilises shared VRAM or some shit, dxdiag says total video RAM is 1.9GB, which leaves me with 2.1GB actual RAM free for the game. Sort of.

GTA Don Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 What? Rockstar, you can't be fucking serious. A quad core? Bull. I bet you that you'd be able to run it nicely on an E4600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris82 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 An 8800 will no doubt play the game with everything you have, Chris. Also, sucks for single-core users! Gotta upgrade mah RAM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 An 8800 will no doubt play the game with everything you have, Chris.Also, sucks for single-core users! Gotta upgrade mah RAM! Same, too. Maybe if I swap processors from the other PC that I built; it has a 2.2Ghz C2D, buy another stick and an 8600GT (or a 9600GSO), then I can run it even on low or medium.

GTA Don Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Well, at least now I know what to get if I buy a new PC. Anyone think a 3 year old Compaq with a HD 3450, Sempron 3000+ will run it on low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewᶲlf Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Well i barely pass the minimum requirements. Lets hope the game works, at least on medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Lol I doubt it, you don't even pass the minimum? You do realise that the minimums are basically another way of saying "this is what you require to run the game smoothly on low settings" - so you'll probably run it, but on the lowest settings, and it won't be that smooth.

Deji Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Lol... They said San Andreas wouldn't run on anything lower than 512MB too. And that it needs a videocard installed. But my friend manages to play it with 256MB RAM, a crappy processor and an on-board 'Sis' videocard or w/e it's called xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Well the recommended is only the version above yours so it's not like there's huge differences. Granted you may not be able to play with everything on max but shouldn't be too far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX22B1998 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) hmmmm me thinks i will get a ps3 instead, cos its abit cheaper bloody pc part prices have skyrocketed here (core 2 e8400 was 200, now 260) cos of exchange rate of course. ps3 will still be like $700...and will always work on these games no matter what until ps4? heh Edited October 31, 2008 by WRX22B1998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
