Can my computer handle gta 4 and other games?

Q. I have inspiron 530 with dual core 2.66ghz with 2gb ram, 500gb hard drive (and 100gb external) but my graphics cards only 128mb. Does the 900mb "shared graphics memory" work on games??

A. You can run GTA IV - but you'll be running at about 5FPS which is almost like a slide show. And if you try it with full settings you'll probably burn out your graphics card.

Gaming Computer Question : Gta 4/ Processor's ?

Q. I want to get an alright gaming computer mainly to play stuff like gta 4.

There a two computers i have to decide between one has a Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16Ghz and the other Intel Core 2 quad 2.4Ghz.

The gta 4 system requirements are.....

Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz, AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4Ghz
Memory: 1.5GB, 16GB Free Hard Drive Space
Video Card: 256MB NVIDIA 7900 / 256MB ATI X1900

Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz, AMD Phenom X3 2.1Ghz
Memory: 2 GB (Windows XP) 2.5 GB (Windows Vista)
18 GB Free Hard Drive Space
Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870

Which one do you think i should get because core 2 has more ghz ??

Thanks any comments are appreciated
Feel free to email me at johnnyrules123@hotmail.com

A. The quad is 4 processors all at 2.4 GHz which equals 9.6 GHz. Which is 4 times that you need for GTA 4
The duel is 2 processors running at 3.16GHz which equals 6.32GHz

Either one is fine for any game out at the moment. If your looking to future proof for a year or two then get the quad.

Edit: the higher the total GHz the faster the processing. The quad core is the future. However some games dont support that yet, but in the next few months more and more games will support the quad feature.

GTA IV does support Quad Core and Core 2. If you have the money get the quad its well worth it.

EDIT 2: the main thing abouts games is graphics cards so make sure you choose a graphics card that will support and enhance your processors. I suggest a Nvidia 9800 or 9900 series graphics card. Even get 2 and corssfire them. Any of these graphics cards plus the quad or core 2 processors wont just make your machine an "alright" system. it will make it a kick arse gaming machine.

A. Yeah, it will run moderately. Although you will need to run on the Lowest Setting; Low Graphics. You have an Average video card so that will probably reduce FPS. Your RAM is a bit low but could probably handle the game just fine. Yes Sir, you can run GTA! ;P

Good Luck Mate!

Gta 4!!!!!!!!!!?

Q. Is GTA 4 better on XBOX 360 or PS3, because i heard that on PS3 the game laggs and freezes alot. And whats a better console?

A. BluRays in 360's, now that's funny. Microsoft using a Sony product, but I'm sure it will happen since Microsoft's HD DVD didn't work out too well and the consenses is going to BluRay.

GTA - Once the bugs are ironed out of the PS3 version, I'm sure they will be very similar, with XBox having its own content, and PS3 having its own content. As of right now, the PS3 version has bugs that are pissing a lot of people off, but still looks better at 640p then it does at 720p on the XBox.

That being said and even though I am a PS3 owner, you have to make that decision on your own. What games do you like and what games are exclusive to each gaming system that you like. For example, if you love Metal Gear Solid, then get a PS3 cause MGS only comes out on Playstation. If you love Halo, then get the XBox cause Halo only comes out on XBox. Live is better than PSN, however this is the infancy of Sony Online, and HOME seems to be a big improvement over what is out now. You pay to get online with XBox (there is a dummied down free version that seems to be of no use) and it is free with Playstation. People will argue over the computing power of XBox and PS3, but each will only use what developers put into them, so it really doesn't matter which one is superior if no one uses it to the fullest.

Here is the only thing I can say, I have been a Playstation faithful since day one, and while I have no problem with XBox, my decision came down to everything the PS3 has to offer right out of the box, cheapest BluRay player on the market, is able to play games, online with existing internet (no extra fees), upgrades my DVD's to 1080p, Music, Photos, Video, can install any Operating System of your choosing (I hate Windows Vista, went back to XP on computer), basically it's a computer, and oh yeah, it plays video games.

Do your research and determine for yourself which is the better console for you. In the past it was pretty clear cut which was the better console (Playstation) but I think we have gotten to the point where it comes down to a choice. Just like the old Ford, Chevy, or Dodge. Which one is better? That becomes a personal choice, cause when you get right down to it, they are all pretty much the same. Ford has Mustang, Chevy has Corvette, Dodge has Viper, XBox has Halo, Playstation has Metal Gear Solid... I'm sure you get the point. Which one works for you?

Would this computer run GTA 4?

Q. I was thinking about buying this computer today at Walmart....would it run gta4 the pc game?...

http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-BT445AA-ABA/15074866

A. GTA 4 Minimum System Requirements

* Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz or equivalent AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4Ghz
* Memory/RAM: 1GB for XP and 1.5GB for Vista
* Video Card: 256MB NVIDIA 7900 or 256MB ATI X1900
* Hard Disk Space: 16GB free
* Operating System: Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista SP1



That computer:
* AMD Sempron 140 processor
2.70GHz, 1000MHz System Bus, 1MB L2 Cache

* 3GB DDR3 system memory (expandable up to 4GB)
Gives you the comfort for multimedia videos and images, video conferencing, basic gaming and all other simple duties

* 320GB SATA hard drive
Store 213,000 photos, 91,000 songs or 168 hours of HD video and more

* LightScribe SuperMulti DVD burner
Watch DVD movies on your computer; read and write CDs and DVDs in multiple formats

* 10/100BaseT Ethernet
Connect to a broadband modem or a wired broadband router with wired Ethernet

* 18.5" diagonal LCD widescreen monitor
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE integrated graphics


Basically, no. Don't buy that computer, it is a piece of crap. Your main problem with buying a cookie cutter PC is the graphics card. If you want to game, you'll have to invest in an actual gaming card. I would recommend something like a geforce gt220 that performs, but is still affordable. Check out this link:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6753723&Sku=S445-10120

that computer is 10 times better than anything wal-mart can offer, and will do more for your money (it is also a full-size computer). Do lots of research!

What happens when you play games like Gta 4 on low graphic card?

Q. I have 3gb ram and core 2 duo processor, i played gta 4 and it was really slow, since gta 4 has many bugs i thought it could be because of that and since mafia 2 has been released i asked my friends and they said it wont work on my computer because i dont have the required graphics card, i mean why doesnt it play and does graphics card affect performance and how?

A. Yes a graphics card will greatly effect preformance of games like GTA 4 because you need a graphics card to output the correct number of pixels to display the image and if you dont have a high enough card it will blur, tear, or lag (slow down) the image and in some cases not allow it to be shown and crash.

How can i make GTA 4 run really smooth.?

Q. My computer is running GTA 4 at custom low graphics, and it chops up sometimes. Game Spot said that our computer could run it on low graphics on low it chops up when u r changing your island and at random intervals.

A. Even in my xbox 360, gta doesn't run 100% smoothely. The specifications of this game say that your computer should have:

Minimum System Requirements:

OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz, AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4Ghz

Memory: 1.5GB, 16GB Free Hard Drive Space

Video Card: 256MB NVIDIA 7900 / 256MB ATI X1900

Recommended System Requirements:

OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz, AMD Phenom X3 2.1Ghz

Memory: 2 GB (Windows XP) 2.5 GB (Windows Vista)

18 GB Free Hard Drive Space

Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870


You should always get alot better than the recommended system specifications for the game to run smoothly if your pc at least meets the minimum requirements then you should be able to play the game on lowest graphic ability but even at that it may not run smoothly
