oh gosh. let's get this out of the way...from the argument in the thread above, performance really does vary system to system. it seems to be more processor dependent than it is video card dependent. but id say a 4670 wouldnt be too bad, esp for that resolution

yeah....i had me an ATI HD 4650 with 512 of GDDR2 and it barley played at 800x600 with all settings on low..... But yeah i suggest if ur gonna play GTA IV then you need atleast a decent dual core and no less than an ATi HD 4830 and Nvidia 88xx and above card

This might seem funny but it would probably be cheaper getting a 360 plus the game. It will at least run at Max settings with no lag.

I agree for this game and this game only, only other thing the 360 is good for is exclusives.

Max settings for consoles is not max setting for PC, let's get this straight.

from me to say,this game is intended to play with nvidia cards.i had my self HD4850 + Quad core Phenom, and i can't push the slider to max setting.on the other hand,my friends could easily push to max setting with "old-crack" 8800GT cards and E8600 processors :((
