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

w00t.

I can run it. Haha. I have a Core 2 Quad Processor, with the exact same speed. Hmm, 18GB is quite massive. In fact, it's biggest I've seen, I think. Graphics card can handle it too, which is ftw.

Hell, this is gonna be an awesome experience. :D

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. :)

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

There is absolutely no way that a game of this quality of graphics will run on integrated graphics.

kl my new system should run on medium-low

intel Xeon Quad Core X5355 2.66 GHz

4GB DDR2 RAM

nvidia geforce 9600GT 512MB

500GB HDD

windows XP x64

If by medium-low you mean very high, then yes.

but, will i get a constant frame-rate on high?

Definitely. Nice PC you have there.

What about my specs?

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 2.40Ghz

Memory: 3GB

GFX Card: nVidia GeForce 8500GT (512MB)

Should be fine with that. You'll run it smoothly on pretty high settings

hmmmm

me thinks i will get a ps3 instead, cos its abit cheaper :P

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
