Pupik Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Wow! Rockstar is not going to make a lot of sales on this product then. My computer is only a few months old and this computer is extremely powerful too. So, if this game won't work on my computer, then it mostly likely won't work on many other people's computer as well. You should never buy computers with integrated video cards, if you want to play games on it with decent performance (and settings).

shihchiun Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 YEY! smile.gifThank god for my Quad core @ 2.4GHZ 4GB Ram and Nvidia Geforce 8800GT smile.gif Off topic: Never known true specs on me graphics card as in how much graphics memory, how can i find out? as in the adapter gives me 3 different numbers! lol smile.gif (attached screenshot) It's a 512 MB card. 2.3 GB would be a tad unrealistic. :) Wow! Rockstar is not going to make a lot of sales on this product then. My computer is only a few months old and this computer is extremely powerful too. So, if this game won't work on my computer, then it mostly likely won't work on many other people's computer as well. The recommended specs aren't that demanding. I hate to say it, but if it won't work on your computer then it probably isn't as powerful as you think.

DaDude Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Just because the computer is new doesn't mean it comes with a good graphics card or even is a 'powerful' computer. It is powerful. It's a Core 3 Quad. :D Just kidding. It's actually a Core 2 Duo and it runs pretty fast. It's the fastest computer I've ever used. I never experience any lag ever since I bought it. It flies and I'm using Vista too. It boots up in 20 seconds. No, it won't struggle a bit. It either won't run the game at all, or struggle A LOT on 860x600 resolution and lowest details. My resolution is 1440x900. Sounds like a good resolution to me. So, this isn't as crappy of a video card as you all think.

So, this isn't as crappy of a video card as you all think. Run any popular game developed after 2002*, set the game resolution to that for ALL your games, jack the visual settings up to normal or 'recommended' and please report back. Also run something like 3DMark2006 while you're at it. Seriously, just because desktop performance is fast, that says very little about gaming performance. *3D-based games please, Vista's built in games don't count Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/page/4/#findComment-590118742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, you haven't actually told us what exactly is in your computer (besides the CPU, obviously). We have no way of telling if it's good or bad.

In current games, the video card is the component which is the deciding factor of the power and capability of your PC in running the game.

RvXtm Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I think with low-graphics ,it will run ok for most P4 3ghz and up ,and over 2 gb ram. Video...i don't know,but i only have a 6300GT (256) so it should work in theory. I'm starting to think PS3 is the way... i'm not a gaming guy .

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted November 17, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 17, 2008 As of this post, there are 15 days left until GTA IV is released for the PC. I tried the console version for a brief moment so I don't know anything about the storyline.

(my uncle uses the argument of "You make it on a PC for basic PC hardware so why not release for PC's") According to Rob Nelson, producer at Rockstar Toronto, the PC version has been working on GTA IV PC since January with a team of around 50 members. He gave us some perspective as to why the PC version is coming out later than with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. "The earlier PC versions of Grand Theft Auto (since III) have always been put into production as soon as the console versions were complete; in this case, we've been working in concert with the console teams, and even a little before. The reason we're releasing six months later is due to the fact that we are building this as a pc game from the ground up and adding additional features to an already massive experience."
