They certainly wasn't playing it on an 8600GT. My guess would be an 9800/8800GT or a 4850, the mainstreamers. :o

PS3/360 owners are done with Grand Theft Auto IV. You may get a slighty superior version, but you had to wait a much longer period of time.

Now picture yourself as a film director with an easy-to-use and comprehensive video editing suite that'll let you create anything from a short music video to full-length feature film. You'll be able to set markers, track objects, and pan the camera for sweeping long shots. In just a few minutes, Rockstar representatives were able to show us how you could attach the camera to a rocket to get a really cool first-person shot of the rocket hurtling towards a nearby helicopter.

I have it for the PS3 and have completed it, I'm 100% getting it on the PC too as it's vastly superiour.
Not on my PC lol.EuroMafia
Yes it will... unless you have integrated graphics or something, if you have a 6600 it will look just as good as it does on 8800/9800/4850/4870x2, it wont run with anywhere near as good in terms of FPS. Just saying, since i've seen "not on my PC" been posted a few times in topics about the graphics being better on the PC version.

Considering it recommends a quad core, I would hope so. The recommended CPU vs GFX card is kind of out of whack...

I have to agree with you there. Unfortunately I bought into the hype and spent $150 on the Special Edition. I ended up with a game I never finished, a cheaply made duffel bag and and a safe that's occupying space at the back of my cupboard.

A few month isn't what I consider a long period. Also with the improved visuals, multiplayer, an editor and of course mods, it'a not just slightly improved.

Own us with what. The facts that stand out in like dogs balls. The fact that yes, PC games get pirated and we are very aware of this. What you fail to realize is that the console suffers from pirating as well, yes thats right your beloved console also gets pirated to hell and back.

Quad core PC...good luck with that. I love how even hermits with old rigs try and claim ownage against console owners, even though they can't run this game at full spec.

And for the 5% who can, have fun, game is good but not a patch on the previous games.

skrat_01

They really dont think much before listing the requiements.That phenom CPU recommended is no better than a high-end intel dual core no matter how much optimized the game is for multi-cores.

Thing is that the recommended intel CPU is like a zillion times better than the recommended AMD CPU.It's just the weakest and cheapest intel CPU with more than 2 cores so they just listed it but I am damn sure that a fast core 2 duo will do the job fine,in case it doesnt than neither will that phenom.

And then you look at the recommended GPU's.The 3870 is much much better than the 8600 which in turn is actually weaker or just on par with the X1900 listed under the minimum requirement.Either they wanted to mention 8800 or they really dont know what they are saying under the recommended GPU section.
