GTA IV: I need some help please!

Hi guys!

I have GTA IV installed on PC, but it runs Slow, somewhere between 15-20 FPS. But I dont understand why! I have a Powerfull PC.

My specs. are:

RAM: 4GB

VIDEO: NVidia Geforce 9800GT 1GB DDR3

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

CPU: Intel Core 2 DUO 2.53 GHZ

HDD: 300 GB

How you see, I got a powerfull PC, I must play Gta IV on "Very High" settings, but I play it on "Medium" settings.

Can someone help me to solve this issuse? Thanks!

Your CPU is the issue here. You pretty much need a quad-core to play GTA IV properly. And be sure to install the latest patch, it makes a big difference.

Your PC isn't as powerful as you think. Your hardware is actually pretty old. I suggest a CPU and graphics card upgrade...and maybe get a bigger harddrive..I would never be able to survive with 300GB of harddrive space

I think he means you need a quad core to max it out

Well, OK, it's playable on a dual core. But with a quad you'll get consistently better performance.

wtf really? Quad core? I got this game the day it came out for PC. It has run flawless for me. amd 64 x2 dual core 6000+ I played it on like medium/high and it looked fantastic. Haven't played it since then and I got a better video card now. seriously it's not demanding at all. I have only heard vista users cry about it. W7 runs flawless baby.ejeet

It's "demanding" if you're trying to max it out...read the other posts.

If you really got it the day it came out for PC, then you can't have been using Windows 7 all the time.

Grand Theft Auto IV is very demanding, you need a better Video Card and CPU to run it on very high and to get a good FPS
