    reply here pls

  39. Fahad says:

    @SEB43
    Your system is on the borderline for minimum specs. It may play but you will need to put all settings to lowest. If you upgrade your graphics card then you should be able to play at med-high settings.

    @harinda
    Yes, it will be a problem. You need Windows XP SP3 to play GTA 4.

    @sHoNa
    I cant say anything till you mention what video card you have. Even integrated graphic cards support upto 384mb but they still wont be able to play the game. Mention your video card and I can tell you if it will work or not.

    @bodie
    What video card? Make and model number are required to tell you if you can play this game although I doubt it since its only 128mb. You need at least a good video card with 256mb.

    @srath
    Your processor is a bit slow but I dont think there should be much of a problem. Try running the game and you will find out.

    @mikepish
    You haven’t told me anything. What processor? Is it Core 2 duo? What video card of nVidia do you have? How much memory does the video card have?

  40. coolkashif says:

    my laptop config: does not run smooth even with min. graphics…

    2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo,
    256 8600 GT nvidia
    2 GB ram
    windows 7

    if i upgrade ram to 4GB will it work?

  41. luka says:

    will it run smooothly on
    Intel core 2 quad 2.0 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB Hard Disk, Nvidia 9700GT 512 MB 1066 MHz, vista ultimate 64 bit ???

    Please reply fast!

  42. Fahad says:

    @coolkashif
    Windows 7 is not supported by this release. Try running the game on windows xp or vista although you will only be able to play on minimum settings due to your video card. You should be able to play on minimum settings with low resolution very smoothly.

    @Luka
    Yup, it should run quite nicely! :)

  43. Vapure says:

    Hi
    i just wanted to say that i hav a 4gb of ram, enough space in the 320gb hardrive and 512MB NVIDIA 8800, AMD Phenom X3 and my pc is windows vista buisness am i able to play gta iv.

    I need a quick reply

  44. Fahad says:

    You should be able to play the game just fine! :P

  45. Jim says:

    I have a Q6600 core 2 quad 2,7 Ghz
    9700 GT 1gb memory
    4gb DDR3 memory

    And it STILL DOESN’T RUN on HIGH!!! This fucking game is driving me mad. I want to play high quality.. I play Farcry 2 with very high quality textures and in 1900 x 1440. What the hell?

    Is there a fix/patch/update for the Grand Theft Auto 4?

    Please let me know. I would pay 100 bucks for it.

    @vapure
    You might be able to play on your X3 AMD but it wont run high quality. The videocard should be fine!

  46. Fahad says:

    @Jim
    You have a great top notch PC but you are playing at a very high resolution. You may have been able to play Farcry 2 at that resolution but GTA 4 is a more demanding game. You either need to lower the resolution or get a better graphics card like the ATI 4870 or GTX 280.

  47. KAPIL says:

    hi,

    i have AMD phenom 9850 quad core 2.5 processor and 2 gb 800 mhz ram corsair xms2 and r4650 ati 1gb graphics card and still it is not working

  48. Fahad says:

    Your graphics card is a bit on the low side although you should still be able to play at lower resolutions. :)

  49. Vishnu says:

    Ha it wont work in mine :) mine is amd turion!

  50. joey says:
