Well, my girlfriend bought me GTA 4(pc) for christmas, but from all the things ive been reading I have a feeling it wont run well on my rig, and I typically dont bother with games that i cant max out (which actually hasnt been an issue yet cuz i havent found one that i cant, less crysis but who cares)

Anyways, i dont want to break the seal because once I do then i cant exchange it and Ive really been wanting fallout 3.

So whats the word, can anyone confirm that gta 4 is trully a horrid port, or is it over exagerated?

Check out the screenshots inside the screenshots forum. Except of these glitches and the messed shadows, the game is barely running on my system. I'll wait until AMD releases hotfix and Rockstar patch it up.

hmm, maybe ill just trade it in for fallout 3, come back to it in 6 months when (hopefully) its been fixed

work fine on my rig with the latest patch and the 8.12 is smooth @ max detail only traffic density @ 51% and 1440x900 so u could give it a try

I think its just too big of a gamble, if i open it then i cant return it

runs really nice here, 4850/8500

This is just my 2 cents, but, on a X1950 I'd be hesitant to try it, too.

the biggest issue may be

AMD Athlon 64 3200+

It is a system hog, that also needs around 1Gig of ram exclusively to run.

On your system i would skip it.

SpectatorX

GTA IV on xp needs 1GB and on vista 1,5GB of ram. x2 3200+ is too weak for this game, it needs better cpu.

Well i know looking at task manager while playing it was consuming around 967MB of ram, so 1GB regardless of OS, would have a lot of paging of OS/game going on which would make it jerky.
