alphaomegainfinity Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 And the minimum GPU is a GeForce 7900. What a jump from 6800 of Crysis! Also I feel the recommended GPU is a typo It should be an 8800 IMO.

Japlabot Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 will see how it goes on my 8600GT in my mac laptop... might need to use low quality settings.... will wait for recommended parts to be cheaper and then buy a gaming PC. Also gonna sell the PS3 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/#findComment-590053430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted October 31, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 31, 2008 My PC's the 'recommended' system, except with just 2 GB of RAM on Vista and a 8800 GT. But geez. Can someone say poor optimization... if the quality of graphics is anything to go by in previous GTA games. :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/#findComment-590053550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I hope it naively supports the Xbox 360 controller, but I doubt it will... Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/#findComment-590053566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 That doesnt seem so bad...the Quad core is alil out there but those graphics requirements are pretty darn modest. Eitherway sucks you guys have to wait a lil longer...

spenser.d Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Well the game is optimized for consoles already. The Xbox 360 runs 3 cores all dual threaded, and the PS3 runs 7 threads on one core. Both systems have advanced GPU's, and the 360's GPU utilizes DX10 API's. Dunno what you'd expect. I suppose they could dumb the game down some, but why would they want to do that. All of a sudden Lucas Art's logic for not wanting to produce PC games is brought into physical perspective. -Spenser Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/#findComment-590053642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted October 31, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 31, 2008 They don't have to dumb the entire game down, but rather offer some scaled back path for older hardware. I'm ready to play the game with those requirements, but wouldn't it be nice to let other PC gamers play the game at GTA3/VC/SA detail levels? As for LucasArts. Puh. Other developers would beg to differ. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/#findComment-590053658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 31, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 31, 2008 I meet the minimum requirements and such, but damn, can't people optimise their games any more?

sundayx Veteran Posted October 31, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 31, 2008 The recommended specs are much higher than the 360/PS3. What happened there?

alphaomegainfinity Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Both systems have advanced GPU's, and the 360's GPU utilizes DX10 API's. Dunno what you'd expect. -Spenser The PS3's RSX GPU is based on the GeForce 7800 having a bandwidth of 23 GB/s and doesn't utilise DX10 at all. That's hardly advanced. In case of the XBox360, the Xenos is a precursor to the Radeon R600 series. The minimum requirements itself are too high considering the GTA IV experience on the two consoles was OK.

Lee G. Veteran Posted October 31, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 31, 2008 Damn, my computer just about meets the minimum specs (although I'm not a PC gamer) - I have a NVidia 7900GS :p I'll stick to the Xbox 360 thank you :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/#findComment-590054024 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted November 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 1, 2008 I holding out for this, hoping that it'd be able to run on my iMac under Windows (2.4GHz C2D, 2600HD Pro) but pretty glad I just gave up and picked it up on Xbox 360.
