lmanlo Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) Hello I know that I meet all the requirements but not sure about the Graphics Card. I want to know if I could run Grand Theft Auto 4 with the Intel Media Accelerator 4500MHD up to 1277 MB of total Memory? The rest that I have is 3 GB memory, 160GB HD, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHZ. THank You and A fast response would be great. I don't care if it runs in low quality, just that it runs and I can play it. I don't have a 360 or a PS3 and don't have money to get those systems. Thank You. Edited December 26, 2008 by lmanlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) From my expierence with Intel graphics cards, they're not that great for running games, everything else looks fine. I suggest getting yourself a copy of the game first, trying it, if it's not running too great, go get an NVIDEA graphics card instead, if it's running fine, then just leave it.

claude-5 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 most probably, it runs on an geforce 9600GT 512 MB quite well, and with ur 1.2 GB card, it shuid do great, but im not too sure on that as its an intel MEDIA card, probz will giv u 20-35 fps with the rest of your system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyde Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 ^Lol you got it completely wrong. Those memory are shared. Integrated graphics won't run any games these days. And no you will not be able to run it even on low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmanlo Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks Everyone. I have a copy of the game, bought today but did not open it. I don't want to risk opening it and not be able to return it. I wanted to check. I thought that it would not run because of the graphics card. Oh well. I really did want to play the game. But is claude-5 correct that I would be able to play or is the rest of you right. Another thing, I was trying to play this on a Laptop. Thanks for your answers. I think I will return it. Instead of risking the return policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 No, Intel graphics are horrible, you're better off returning it and getting it for a console or getting a better graphics card first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmanlo Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks It looks like I will not be able to play the long awaited game I always wanted to play. That's really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON 3993 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 what about NVIDIA GeForce 7050 / NVIDIA nForce 630i (512 mb) Ram : 2gb Processor : 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo OS : Windows XP service pack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 noooooooooo! lol. no way. for a card to be good (nvidia) it has to be like.. 7X00 or 8X00 or 9X00 where X = 6 or higher. basically below that are cards not intended for games. tbh i dont get why another topic was made just for this. put it in the big topic.

Not "not intended for games", but is intended for entry-level or casual games. You can play SA on medium settings with an 8400GS, but you need to have a better one if you want to play IV decently.

Huckleberry Pie Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 My best bet so far is an 8600GT; there are reports of people attempting to run IV on an 8400GS (my current card) with some success, but an Nvidia with the second digit at 5 or higher (8600, 9600, etc.) is highly recommended.

Anything lower than 6 will be pretty poor. The 8500 is not made for gaming, so you'll want one of the following cards: NVIDIA 8600, 8800, 9600, 9800, 260 or 280. Or if you go for ATi, a 3850, 3870, 4850 or 4870. @ lmanlo, definitely not. Edited December 28, 2008 by Davesta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but remember san andreas came out in 2005 i can play it on a FX5200 too, but GTA4 is a whole different story remember. Anything lower than 6 will be pretty poor.
