Hello,

i'm not well up on the latest systems, my pc is a few years old, can anybody please tell me if gta iv will work on my system. i got the game for christmas and so far its failing to run because (i assume) of my graphics card not being good enough. but before i buy a new card, i wanna see if the rest of my system ok!!??

i have:
windows xp service pack 3
intel(r) Pentium(r) 4 cpu 3.40 GHz
2 GB RAM
250 GB HD

my graphics card is only a nvidia geforce 6800,
any suggestions on an upgrade would be welcomed!!

thanks in advance for the help!!!!

GTA 4 if VERY cpu bound. It needs a Core 2 Quad to run well but will on a faster Core 2 Duo

The PC version of GTA 4 has CPU power for breakfast - independent on clock speed, L2 cache or number of cores. The latter ones are very important, because without quad-core power GTA 4 is noticeably less enjoyable. For example: A Q6600 is about 52 percent faster than the dual-core E6600 when both CPUs are running at 2.4 GHz. If the clock speed is increased, the difference gets smaller, but is still huge and a QX6850 is 47 percent faster than an E6850. Dual-core processors have a serious disadvantage and only with 3.6 GHz an E8500 is able to beat the Q6600, but GTA 4 nevertheless suffers from frequent lags on dual-core systems - no matter if an AMD or Intel CPU is used. The Phenom X4 9950 easily passes the Q6600 and theoretically is on the same level as the Q6700 .
