GTA IV for PC (official)


Recommended Posts

Well if it's worth anything I've scoured the web and read countless stories, replies, and comments stating that the game runs poorly. I've only come across a couple of thread posts stating that the game runs well. Anyway, I hope Rockstar is working on a patch.

Yeah but still doesn't prove anything, happens with almost every game out there, a slew of people having bad performance - This just suffers from it to a bigger extend, but who are we to tell the statement "Small numbers" is incorrect?

And how many exactly would post on the forums the game is running great? Classic example of the unsatisfied people having a louder voice than the satisfied people.

Not saying there isn't any problems with the game, even Rockstar acknowledges it but a few people on some forums is no way a solid statistic when you are missing 10 other pieces of the puzzle.

people dont have to just use the forums, there are tech support numbers when i spoke with R* yesterday in the UK i was on hold for a good 20 mins and when i spoke to the guy they where swamped with calls, just because it runs fine for you it all well and good, but for the rest of us, we feel like we are being taken for a ride.

Well mine runs ok to be honest, I run it at 1360 768 on medium detail and high render quality. Not sure what fps im getting but it is definitely smooth enough. It could run much better though, and I don't think it currently looks better than the console versions. I'm glad that Rockstar have acknowledged the problem and are working on it. Im sure that with a patch from Rockstar and new drivers from ATI/Nvidia we will see this game running much better.

True, but think of it this way: What are the chances that all those people, with varying degrees of hardware and software, are experiencing issues with GTA IV? I'm not saying that there are 'X' number of people experiencing problems. It's the fact that issues are coming up across the board, regardless of what hardware you use.

Anyway, I recently ran the benchmark and got 22.05 fps. In my mind, that's absolutely pathetic with the hardware I have. Seriously, how the hell can a Core2Duo E6750 and HD 4870 pull 22 fps @ 1680x1050 in GTA IV? It doesn't make any sense to me. :/

well ive just been on the phone to R* for the past 40 mins troubleshooting and the guy who i spoke with confirmed my system 'should' be able to play this game at around 40fps, we spent 40 mins testing various items and ways but whatever setting i was running it was always around 20-22fps.

It's frustrating, I tell ya. The most we can do now is wait for a patch and enjoy the game as it is right now. I won't play any of the missions until Rockstar fixes the performance issues. I want to enjoy the game at its best.

i was playing for 2 hours or so, doing missions and then out of nowhere it crashes with error resc10

Yikes! I hope that doesn't happen to me.

To play at my native resolution (1650x1050), I literally have to turned down everything to it's lowest setting. That is ridiculous...

Don't you mean 1680x1050? :p I hear you though. I had to turn down some settings too.

Oh god I was hoping to play with my 2400XT.

Don't even dream about it. I get 31 fps @ 1680x1050 with an HD 4870.

I believe this has been mentioned before but hitting 'p' enables some sort of filter. It adds motion blur and a pseudo-depth of field effect (i.e. background blurring).

I know this won't be much comfort, but I'd like to thank you for that information. My specification is broadly equivalent to yours, and given what you've just said there's not a chance I'm buying the game.

This doesn't make me any less gutted about how this has turned out after I enjoyed GTA 3, VC and San Andreas so much on the PC though.

i was playing for 2 hours or so, doing missions and then out of nowhere it crashes with error resc10
ReSC10 = Out of video memory

To anyone getting the error its not your fault, im getting the same crash even with a 2GB 4870x2, the game is broken.

Yeah, had that happen to me yesterday and I'm playing on a 4870 X2 as well.

Cy:G, what FPS are you seeing and on what settings?

is there any chance this will run on a 2.4ghz single core CPU (i got a AMD Athlon64 3500+ 2.2ghz overclocked to 2409mhz) ... i know dual core is minimum but i wonder if anyone attempted playing it on a single core.

besides CPU i meet or beat the minimum requirements.

Video card = Geforce 7900GT

RAM = 2GB

From what I understand, peds and vehicles are pretty CPU intensive, so even if the game allows you to install/play without a dual core cpu, you will probably not see a very good FPS. I would wait until someone verifies it. I actually have a single core P4 3.2 sitting next to me but it only has a 128mb graphics card so that wouldn't be a fair estimate.

    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).

    • We are reached to the point that apple looks affordable and better choice than anything else, in what dystopia are we living in....
    • Ouch. $1600 for 256GB SSD / 16GB? Even Apple, the purported "target" of Surface devices for a long time, has its MacBook Air M5 at 512GB SSD / 16GB RAM for $999 MSRP. Surface will never be reasonably priced with such low volumes.
    • Sadly price is pretty in line with the other new X2 devices so far. RAM/SSD prices have ruined everything.
