Hi people,
My computer specs are as follows:
Intel Core 2 Quad Processor
4 GB RAM
500 GB HARD DISK
1 GB Graphics Card (NVIDIA, I dont know the model)
Windows XP Service Pack 2
1440*900 resolution Samsung Monitor

yet, my GTA 4 runs horribly even at 960*800. 1440*900 is extremely slow. What could be the issue? please help!

9400GT is definatly your problem, the Graphic card is the bottleneck.

Reply to tobensg

What exactly is the issue? Do i need any update or hardware changes?

Reply to tanmayjindal

Issue is that the 9400 GT is rubbish. You need a new Graphics Card.

Hi, so RS. 20,000 is about $400? You Could get a good graphic card, and Power Supply. Look at somthing like a Geforce GTX260 or Radeon 4870 1Gb.

Yo! thanks a lot! how do i check the power supply? and does XP sp3 have any role in the game?

Open the case, have a look at the sicker on the side of the unit the power cable goes into the back. Tell us the Brand, Model, Wattage, Current of v12 rail/s.
