  9. jhogar says:

    will NVIDIA Geforce 8400 Gs 512 mb work?

  10. anterkoh says:

    Well, I’d install it in my PC

    Pen 4 – 3.0G
    256 8500GT DDR2
    2x 1G DDR2 RAM

    It can enter, can show the game, but quite laggy….so I’ll assume if upgrade card to 8600GT DDR3, the game should able to play @ minumum setting.

    Cheers.

    IF you have consoles then no, if you have a PC THEN YES!

  17. Rock says:

    I have Pentium D 1024 ram. 1gb g9400gt grapics card.Why the game not running smoothly.

  18. kaizer64 says:

    oh hell!!! it needs much system requirements. I agree to phil..not all of us are rich and can afford a “gaming” PC!!1

  19. Ax says:

    I have everything required but it doesnt work properly the ground becomes transparent and the items like lamps on the street are invisible any1 know why?

  20. Sama18 says:

    Is this gonna work with ati readon 200m graphics, 2gb ram 1.73 ghz core duo processor with vista ultimate???

  21. metal09 says:

    eh does any1 know which laptops feature any of the recommended graphic cards(512mb ATI 3780 or 512mb NVIDIA 8600) that are mentioned above?

  22. paul says:

    Gowtham – I would not risk it. Sorry!
    Bram Van – you are stupid! No one cares what you have, this is for help and useful comments only. My PC would honestly destroy yours, yours is smaller than mine – feeling better? (sorry guys, I hate show offs, but lets put them in place huh?)

    Ax – Most likely your graphics driver needs updating or it’s not good enough, try lowering all graphic properties.

    Sama18 – I doubt it. Sadly you will need an upgrade.

    metla09 – the new dell 15’s come with the 4750 ATI 256mb which is better than the 8600 nvidia. 3780 card is better but you are looking at a pricey machine. In the UK the 4750 ATI laptop is priced £500.00 which is a good price considering what you get. I would reccomend you head with a desktop though, you will get way more for your money! The game will run much better.

    Kaizer – RICH?? you are being silly. People if you have a new PC but no decent graphics card, then buy one! A card around £50.00-£110.00 will run this game nicely. Think of it this way though, if you own a console, the price of the games on those are silly, the controllers are over priced. Saving a couple of hundred pounds to upgrade and use your old stuff does no harm, and it’s not just for one game but in general your PC will be running better. It’s cheaper than a mobile contract for a year, and all you get there is phone calls. Plus, if you enjoy gaming then you will do it! don’t buy so much alcohol! I would say rich is spending over £1000.00 without feeling it. I would say middle class could afford £300.00 easily. If you are on benefits then save a little, but that time the equipment will be even cheaper!!

  23. metal09 says:

    @ paul- thx for ur suggestion… but i m not sure if gta4 will run on ati 4750 as claimed on this link. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html

    actually i m pretty confused with the list in the link. according to that list only a few top expensive graphic cards can render the game in decent graphix. i just wanna play the game at least in 1024*768 wid medium settings. do u have any suggestions for a laptop? please reply thx in advance
