Will run great on your computer Nick...

Well maybe not great

Here is my word of advice- DO NOT BUY.

GTA IV for PC was ported from PS3/360 to work on computers. It has major major preformance issues unless you have a Quad Core processor and a high end Graphics card.

They will be releasing a patch soonish to fix these things, but still we cant be sure that it will run on computers such as mine.

Just as an example, my PC runs GTA at about 15-20 FPS driving a car and what not. BTW, this is on the lowest settings pretty much.

My PC.

3.0 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 HT Processor
2GB Ram
ATI Radeon 2600PRO 256mb Graphics Card

Basically, the 2GB is the only thing thats saving me a bit. I really need to upgrade my processor and card!

Though, if you do get it and you can play it- AWESOME GAME!

wow i dont know what went wrong with your install mate..

im running at 25-35FPS on med-high settings

3ghz pentium d
1gb RAM
ATI Radeon 3870HD 512mb

Must be your graphics card pilot masman, its a fair bit better than mine!

I splashed out and got it with an xbox 360, it is excellent. However I've heard it isn't great on PC.

Yeah it's worth it alright i got on ps3 and wow still love it to bits.

Here you go it's not that great of a shot but yeah.

i suppose from what ive seen and heard, it would be better in all classes on either PS3 or the XBOX360

might have to get one of those for xmas aye

Holy s**t, Those pics looks so realy
I am definetley buying it along with COD world or war

Yea, the graphics on it are pretty good - I had a go with a mate who owns it and it's a lot of fun.

Apparrently..

PC is by far the best version, if you can run full settings- But obviously most people cant.

So if you do have a console, Id definently buy it for the console, but if you dont- I wouldnt go splash out on one!

Its even a really really fun game without it looking awesome. Its just miles above every other GTA, especially the covering feature- God its so damn awesome!

Right Im getting it when I go out today.

We seem to need a sub forum just for GTIV LOLHAHAHA

just got some excellent news, my sis and her BF are coming to board with us so her bf has a PS3 and ill get GTA4 for his xmas pressie and play it

However I did find that the absence of aeroplanes made it a bit more boring. In San Andreas I used to grab the stuntplane and land on roofs & hilltops & shite. I even found a few "airstrips"

to be quite honest i find Need for Speed: undercovers graphics much better than this, although theres no running round shooting anyone in that

So Zk-Brock, They don't have many Planes in IV??
What are the graphics like on the Planes if they have any?

There are no aeroplanes that you can fly-only helicopters. This was because there are few open areas in the game, as opposed to SA which had tonnes of countryside for little sorties. There are AI airliners though which take off and land at the airport.

Ah well, I will only really get it for when I need to cool down lol
