Grand Theft Auto IV on my PC

[nilfinder]

how do you get it?

[sogatt]

buy it? fool

[Karee111]

hehe he speeded up the video XD

[JustStayDown8800]

I hope the "XD" means that you're joking because I didn't speed up the video - or any video for that matter. That would be ridiculous.

[parapetero]

nice pc but i have a ati hd 4870 1gb, core i7 and 4gb ram, nice video 5/5

[mcignas]

i downloaded GTA IV for free and i love it

[JustStayDown8800]

Well I've downloaded hundreds of games (literally) but this one I bought because it was totally worth the money - it is a masterpiece in graphics and gameplay, one of the best games ever made, runs perfectly on my PC plus it has great multiplayer. I'm very happy with it.

[PMPVB]

UR PC IS DA BOMB!!!

but u maybe do not have a xbox360 or ps3.

my pc can play oblivion,far cry 2, left 4 dead, bioshock etc and i have a x360

[JustStayDown8800]

Yeah I don't have a console, and to be honest with you I do not want to have one since my PC surpasses them in everything.

[eretik9]

i got gta iv

[JustStayDown8800]

Yeah me too, and I just love it!

I never regretted buying it!

[JustStayDown8800]

I'm thinking of recording and uploading some GTA IV gameplay with my camera demonstrating how awesomely it runs and of course, what a beautiful game it is!

[Dragoshelu97]

Plz tell me

Did you buy it or just download?

[JustStayDown8800]

I bought this game, it's really amazing.

[Dragoshelu97]

Great video Man!5/5

[JustStayDown8800]

Thank you very much Drago :)

[konamattrules]

you see i play this game with a amd dual core 4600+...and it caps my 8800gtx lol

[JustStayDown8800]

Yeah, the Q6600 would definitely help your 8800GTX because the truth is it's quite a powerful card.

(PS: Plz don't forget to tell me, when you can, how the card was overclocked so highly)

[JustStayDown8800]

This video is without the latest drivers and patch... It currrently runs at High-Very High settings and the rest at 40/80/60/16 with 35 or more FPS now when I'm outdoors!

[94Ponyboy]

damn. i want that gpu so bad... but i need a new cpu first rofl

dude those cards are so expensive!!

[EthanJM]

I understand some people can play this game fine, but that does not mean the game isn't buggy for running as badly as it does. As for the requirements, rockstar out right lied about them.

[JustStayDown8800]

I definitely agree with you on Rockstar totally bullshiting us about the requirements, at least now they're trying to fix this... A 7900 can now get playable results for example... But yeah it's running perfectly for me, just like all my games...

[W0orMy]

cool man i see u have a good pc

[JustStayDown8800]

=] Yeah it's pretty good!

Thanks for your comment!

[JustStayDown8800]

You do not need a watercooler if you've got a powerful CPU fan. That's the case with me, I overclocked from 2.40Ghz to 3.00Ghz with absolutely no heat or instability problems due to my CPU fan being very powerful.

I'm not totally sure how you can check your fan's rpm speed. Have you got any booklets that came with your CPU? I read that the stock one isn't enough though.

Oh and if I remember correctly you've got 300W. I'm not sure it iwll be enough if you overclock.

[JustStayDown8800]

It's around 40-50 degrees Celsius.

That depends on your CPU fan being fast. If you tell me what's its max rpm speed I might be able to tell you.

Mine's 100% stable, overclocked from 2.40Ghz to 3.00Ghz.

[JustStayDown8800]

Nope. I just have a pretty good fan for the CPU installed which let me overclock the CPU easily.

[JustStayDown8800]

YOU ARE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS! After OCing my Q6600 to 3.00Ghz, upgrading to a total of 4GB RAM 800Mhz and upgrading to the new nVidia drivers, I AVERAGED 57 FPS (YES, 57FPS) WITH GTA IV! IT RUNS AS SMOOTH AS BUTTER NOW!!! =]

[JustStayDown8800]

By "new nVidia drivers" I mean those that were released just today.

[Chubzdoomer]

Well, no wonder. You have a QUAD CORE CPU. Of course the game is going to run just fine. For the rest of us who don't have behemoth overpowered CPU's, we don't stand a chance with this game.

[JustStayDown8800]

You do actually. I mean, it won't be as good as this, but if you overclock your CPU to 3.5Ghz (if you have the experience to do this) then you'd get pretty great performance. I believe.

[Finito866]

Omg your system rules.

Wish I could afford specs like that!

Hell, i spended all on my drumkit xD

[JustStayDown8800]

=] Yeah it's pretty good, I've had it for almost half a year and it's never disappointed me so far - can play all games maxed out.

By the way, do you like Metallica?

[Finito866]

Hell yeah ;)

Pretty fun your asking cuz im learning " The day that never comes" on drums at the moment :)

Their new album rules.. \m/

[JustStayDown8800]

Metallica are freaking awesome... and especially their new album, Death Magnetic, is one of their best ever! I like each and every one of their songs!

[firestormcomputers]

Yo, this is my setup: C2D E6750 @ stock 2.66 GHz 2 GB of 800 MHz RAM 8800 GTS 640 mb OC'd (675/1680/1063) Once I get my 2 x 4 GB RAM sticks will I be able to play at: 1440x900 rez textures: medium render: highest (or high, they don't look very different) view distance: 30 vehicle distance: 30 detail distance: 30 shadow density: 3 Any replies are appreciated.

[JustStayDown8800]

I'm sure you will.

[firestormcomputers]

with highest renders, I have the game but was wondering how much the ram affects the game as a whole

[JustStayDown8800]

Well if you have less than 3GB the game starts causing memory leaks after a while, which equals system instability, thus A LOT of lag.

That's why I downloaded MeMTurbo, a fantastic software that prevents memory leaks, so I can play perfectly now.

[firestormcomputers]

I will get MemTurbo then, and my 4 GB of RAM is coming tomorrow, along with my new monitor and MoH: Airborne

[JustStayDown8800]

You might as well not need MemTurbo if you have that much RAM but try it anyway because I heard that even if one has 4GB RAM, GTA IV consumes it eventually after a while.

[firestormcomputers]

I'll try it because I just got the RAM today.

[ExtremeGam3r64]

I love this game. One thing is fix your description, it says "Intel Core2Duo QuadCore Q6600 @ 2.40Ghz [=9.6 Ghz total](not overclocked)" It says 9.6Ghz, quad cores or dual cores for that matter dont add up. They divide the processing so no core gets to stressed.(I am nitpicky about these kind of things=P)

[taltigolt]

not maxed i want my game to run maxed it does on my core 2 duo with 20 fps so it should on a quad :(

[JustStayDown8800]

I plan to max it as soon as I get my additional 2GB ram 800Mhz because the game just eats up all of my memory.

I have tried maxing it out and I get pretty much 30 fps.

[JustStayDown8800]

Thanks to everyone who commented & rated by the way =]

[SoulBaneSlash]

nice phone huh? hehehe mine is k850i..

[JustStayDown8800]

Yeah it's pretty f'cking awesome! I've never seen such good video recording and display, and the camera's 5mpxls. Not to mention the sound quality which is in-fucking-credible! :)

So damn happy ...

[glyoxal]

nice vid mate. 1 small suggestion, Q6600@2.4 Ghz is very much different than a single processor running at 9.6Ghz. he he

[JustStayDown8800]

Well the thing is that there isn't a single processor that can run at 9.6Ghz unless you take it to the north pole and bury it deep in the ocean :)

[yoto5951]

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[JustStayDown8800]

=] Thanks

[Computenator]

i would be happy too when i would be nvidia video card owner when playing gta iv cause rockstar was bought by nvidia and it doesnt even support crossfire :D

[Computenator]

i hate that gta iv only works good on 4870x2 and nvidia cards :)

[JustStayDown8800]

Actually I've seen it stuttering a lot on many 4870x2's too...

Well it's true that they didn't optimized it too well... but it doesn't really matter to me since I can play it so well. It has never crashed, I have never had any texture issues, and it hardly ever stutters, so I'm quite happy with it :)

[furial2]

Really nice ;)

[JustStayDown8800]

=]

By the way when are you gonna post some vids?

[furial2]

Well i dont think i make drum vids anymore i think ill make some vids of ''Awesome Games'' on my (shitty) rig like u are doing:)
