Dane Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I didn't want to make a new topic, so hopefully someone can help me out. I am about to order a new pc sometime soon. It has the following. Windows Vista 64 bit. 6 Gig ram PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM AMD Phenom? X4 9550 Quad-Core Processor @ 2.2GHz 2MB L2 + 2MB shared L3 and a Geforce 9100 256MB Should that be able to play this at a decent rate?

Prosidius Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The video card ram is lacking but other than that it should run good. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/page/38/#findComment-590951224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a better graphics card. GTA IV is one of the few games that actually use up your video ram. Playing at 1920x1200 very high settings uses up to 900mb of video ram. Fortunately, my gfx card can handle it. Get a 1GB video card. Everything else looks fantastic. I suggest starting a new topic in Hardware Hangout to find out what the best value graphics card that fits your criteria is.

Besides GTA it will only be less graphic intensive games.

Prosidius Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Ok this latest mission is ****ing me off, it's "Three Leaf Clover". I havent been able to make alot of progress on it because I keep dying to grenades. Now correct me if I'm wrong but the right mouse button is used to aim, and then you hold the left one down to pull the pin out and release it to throw the grenade. Another time the HUD was wrong and failed the mission because I was out of range of my party. The most progress I got was at the turnstile in the subway to which I tossed a grenade and killed someone of my party.

Victor Rambo Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Now correct me if I'm wrong but the right mouse button is used to aim, and then you hold the left one down to pull the pin out and release it to throw the grenade. Yep. I say don't use grenades. Just use guns and stay with packie & other. When they move, follow them. I almost got killed in this mission but I completed it and didn't have to play for second time. :p Here is a guide if you need one.

Prosidius Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Well assuming 3 Leaf Clover is the hardest mission till the final one I'm happy. This is the farthest I ever got in a GTA Game. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/page/38/#findComment-590997280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unimatrix Xero Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 3 Leaf Clover is actully easy if you use the cover provided, its just a bit long for my liking Well after 28 1/2 hours i completed the story and got my achievments, also only got 20 flying rats and a few races to go for those unlocks as well :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/page/38/#findComment-590997334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosidius Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Does anyone know how the clip editor/recorder works? I tried recording me completing 3 leaf clover but it only recorded me turning in the mission instead. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/page/38/#findComment-590998640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosidius Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Now I'm stuck on this 1 mission where I take a truck to a warehouse with Phil from the Pregorno family. The problem is there are so many mobs and Phil insists on charging into 10 guys. Of course when Phil dies the mission is failed.

Yorak Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I bought this game awhile back, but never installed it. Does anyone know if it still has problems detecting the second card on the 4870x2? If that has been fixed, I suppose I can play now! For those that have been playing, is it easier with a controller? I have an Xbox 360 controller to use if I have to.
