Author Topic: Can this run GTA4? (Read 682 times)

I just bought GTA4 from Wal-mart and I can't take it back if it's opened so I wanted to make sure I could run it before I tried installing it. Do you think my computer could run GTA4 even on lowest settings?

It depends what video card you have also, I think.

Look on the back of the box for System Requirements and compare to your computer specs.

Nope, you only have one core, and a weak one, too.

Intel Celeron

All I read and immediate answer was "NOPE."

A Celeron is one of the weakest forms of Intel processors. They're just all around awful for gaming. They're only used for basic computer needs such as photos, web surfing and such.

To play GTA4 at the minimum you'll want a dual-core, at least an Athlon x2 or Core 2 Duo.
To play GTA4 at anything near high you'll want a quad-core, at least an x4 amd whatever or Core 2 Quad.

I run it on highest with a Core i7 and a single GTX460. More video RAM helps a lot for GTA4 because the game actually calculates how much video RAM you have onboard and will give you warnings if you exceed your video RAM limit with the settings you choose. 512MB to run it on mediumish, 768MB for high, 1GB for highest.

Would this computer run it? I'm hoping to get that computer sometime.

I forgot the title, but there's a graphic enhancement mod that also helps the processing a lot, and takes less resources to run it.

Probably but you really need to spend 500+ for something that'll actually run things better.

That graphics card is an absolute turd, and the processor is one of the weakest architectures still on the market.
As the graphics card is integrated, you would have to upgrade to run it, even on lowest. Believe me. I've got 3 computers, of varying ages (all were my main computers until I upgraded), they are all better than this one, and only my current one can run GTA IV.
One of them has an integrated 6150SE, it can run CS:S on lowest at about 30fps. Lol.
