GTA4[views:1569][posts:18]___________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:07pm - porphyria ""] I installed it on my PC (all 13+gb of it) and fired it up only to find out my current video card (evga 7800 gtx ko) couldn't even handle running it even on the lowest settings, lol. Anyone else try it? Looks like multiplayer/online support is finally there. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:08pm - reimroc ""] Bought it for the 360 the day it came out. I loved it. Haven't played since I beat it but I thought they were going to release some episode packs for it. And yes, its pretty graphically intensive. |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:14pm - porphyria ""] thing is huge, but shouldn't have any problems fitting in my case. [img] |
| ________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:16pm - reimroc ""] yea the new 2xx series are pretty beefy. I personally run 2x8800GT superclocks in my rig. |

My MB supports crossfire but it doesn't seem worth it since the additional card could only run at 4x and not 16x. It's probably mainly for 3-4 monitor support. Should be set with the 280 for a while. I'll be selling my 7800gtx ko and 4gb of corsair dominator pc8500. Just got 4x2gb of the same ram since CS4 now supports up to 6gb of ram. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:28pm - reimroc ""] those GPUs + E8400 running at 4.0 solid cuts through every game out right now. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:31pm - porphyria ""] I have an E6850 which I'm running stock at 3ghz. Think I'll be set with it or is it worthwhile to look at getting a Q95/9600? |
| ________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:36pm - reimroc ""] No you're all set. I just overclocked mine for shits and giggles. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:43pm - porphyria ""] I could probably OC mine to 3.2 without having to change the heatsink/fan. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:43pm - reimroc ""] Yea you could |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:44pm - porphyria ""] I'm assuming Xbox and PC can play online together? |
| ________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:45pm - reimroc ""] Only on some games. Right now its still consoles with consoles and PC with PC. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 4,2009 3:46pm - porphyria ""] hmm, what about GTA4 and COD 4 & 5? |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 6,2009 9:04pm - porphyria ""] GTA4 for PC is definitely just a BAD port of the game, with some patches/updates from rockstar it might eventually become playable. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Feb 6,2009 10:09pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] the GTA ports for PC are generally pretty bug-ridden, which is why they're usually not worth pirating. When patches come out, the cracks usually become unusable. I downloaded GTA4 about a month ago but still haven't gotten around to installing/playing. I have an eVGA GeForce 8800GTX card. |
