Author Topic: Computer under $700 that will run GTA IV better than awful, with mods? (Read 2241 times)

Muslim · July 25, 2013, 01:19:05 PM

Simply this ^. I need something that will run games like Blockland, Minecraft, and Grand Theft Auto IV well with mods like Liberty City Police Department First Response (LCPDFR) and maybe other mods. But I cant find anything like that so I wondered if you guys could help me out. Note: I want a LAPTOP, and it must be PC or else I'm gonna flip, and I know nothing about PCs so put it in simpleton lingo. Thanks.

GTA IV is the most unoptimized game for the PC next to ARMA II.

No 600$ PC, let alone laptop, could run GTA IV smoothly.

Probably. I can run it at slightly low settings on my Toshiba Satellite perfectly fine, and get 30 FPS.

define slightly low

I have a ~$700 PC (or less) that runs GTA IV with iCEnhancer just fine at maximum settings.
You guys drunk.
But yeah, Laptops do cost more at the PC so the price/performance ratio is bigger, you'll have to pay more if you want something good out of a 'gaming' laptop.
If anything I would look at ASUS' ROG laptops.

From $500 to $600 best thing I could find on Newegg:

EDIT: Comparing the components of this laptop to the recommended components for GTA IV show that you should be able to run it. One website even says on high.

It's a desktop, unfortunately. That's what the third line is for.

You guys should try turning up your settings a little bit to see if that increases your framerate. For some reason I get better performance from mixed medium/high settings than just medium settings alone.

The reason laptops are so expensive is because the technology is smaller.
