GTA IV can my rig handle it? - Overclock.net

edalbkrad · 12-01-09

Ive seen in some posts that even quad cores lag on GTA IV. Is that true or are they the kind of people who think 30fps is slow?
Upgrading is not an option for now because Im saving for a new guitar.
If anyone has played it at good fps on a single core pls. tell me

These are the rigs:

CPU: AMD Sempron LE-1150 overclocked to 2.45 Ghz (2.0Ghz stock)
GPU: PowerColor HD5770 1GB GDDR5
RAM: 2x1GB Transcend DDR2-667

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz
GPU: Powercolor x1650 pro 512mb 128bit
RAM: 2x1GB

I don't think you'll be able to run an average of 30FPS on high settings. The game is very CPU dependent.

I know this isnt the answer you are looking for, but dont even try it. my e4300 (daul core 1.8ghz) only got 20fps on lowest settings. ofc that was with an 8500gt, but regardless.
totally maxed out i get around 20-25fps. I play on medium and get around 40. (1680x1050)
Get yourself a daulcore to play this game, It is more demanding than crysis.

But id say 1024x768, low-medium settings, youd get around 20fps

It fails on my lappy and my CPU is 2.8 and my ram is 4GB, so I don't think so...but my GPU sucks a$$, however as stated, it's mainly CPU dependent.

Erm, are you StillLegendary2k?

Same processor, you have a mediocre looking woman as your avatar, and you're talking about running games on underspec machines.

If you're not him, then you should hook up with him, he's in the Phillipines as well I believe. You guys could LAN up and play Crysis @ 50FPS while looking at the sky.

And to answer your question... it might run, but it will not run *well*.

I play on dual core and I get about 20 fps with low settings at 1024x768, although it's a laptop, so a custom rig should fare better.

Your CPU makes me want to answer "no". I'd definitely think about upgrading that CPU if you want decent framerates. As many people have said, the game is highly CPU dependent.

ok

If this is SL2K, he started a thread exactly like this not long ago, then went on to 'prove' us all wrong by showing that he COULD run GTA4 at abysmally low settings in empty areas with playable FPS.

I assume this will play out similarly?

OP, think of it this way. Could you ride a bike (a pedal bike, not a motorbike) 60 miles to work, and 60 miles back every day? Yes, you could, but it would not be optimal.

Same with StillLegendary something-or-another
And that's a great way of wording it too!
